Bernie Sanders - the finger-wagging progressive uncle who gave Hillary Clinton a good run for her money in 2016 - is back. He's back on the campaign trail, back with a view to take the White House and back with... the most on-trend look of 2019?

He's the first time you listened to Channel Orange. He's a mezcal and soda. He's every single man in his mid-twenties stood by the decks of a Brixton future R&B night. Bernie is Eurohiker 2.0, and if he managed to get the youth vote out last time, just wait and see now.
