After embracing the casual tech nerd look for several years, Mark Zuckerberg seems to have finally taken an interest in revamping his fashion choices over recent months. The 40-year-old tech tycoon was recently seen out and about donning a dapper all-black look, accessorised with a gold chain. Zuck’s new wardrobe update marks the end of his casual grey hoodie era, as he prepares to take a dip in the waters of fashion.

In fact, he is one of the tech executives who popularised the tech-bro uniform in the IT industry.
However, his recent sartorial switch-up not only means a change in how he and his company are perceived but also a cultural shift for the industry. Zuckerberg has gone viral after he was seen ditching his usual casuals for more elaborate outfits, playing with different colours, textures, and accessories. It is interesting to note that after several years of treating fashion as a mere distraction from his grand scheme of owning the world of IT, the Facebook developer is finally refashioning his public image.
