As you prepare for a big Saturday night out on the town, you’re probably asking yourself: ‘What’s Barack Obama gonna wear to take the oath and give his big speech at the inauguration in the wind at the Capitol on the morning of Jan. 20?’

Well, thanks to Adam Tschorn over at our sister blog All the Rage, we can tell you the about-to-be 44th president is going a little wild with a cashmere coat that’s all black.

And at night for all the inaugural balls he’ll visit where there’s no room for anyone to actually dance, you’ll be surprised to learn that Obama intends to wear a tuxedo.

The off-the-rack version from Hart Schaffner Marx goes for a mere $895.

So we can only imagine what el presidente’s custom-made one will cost.

No word if the Democratic National Committee is going to pay for all the new clothes. But Obama is expected to wear his hair down for the Inauguration.
