They're suave. They're savvy. And sometimes, they're sartorially smart.

In few other spheres of public life is dressing and playing "the part" more important than it is when running for -- or trying to stay -- in office. What politicians wear can have a huge effect on how their constituents, opponents and the international audience perceive them.

As we enter one of the most important politics-focused weekends of the year -- the NDP Convention in Toronto -- we thought we'd take a look at some of Canada's best and worst dressed politicians. What are some of the most memorable politico fashion moments? Who are our most fashionable faces, and who needs a lesson in what not to wear on the campaign trail? Is there anyone who deserves to be revered for their fashion sense the way Americans go nuts for Michelle Obama's outfits?
