Interesting that these two candidates are in casual clothing.
Indeed!
Bové is someone who claims to be different, out of the system, a lay person from what we call "la société civile", a bit like Lech Walesa was in Poland, so he has to show it through his outfit.
For Besancenot it's even blue jean...which makes sense. Let's not forget that jeans used to be for workers to begin. As a Trotskyst he's supposed to defend the workers. It is also something that point out his youth.
His poster is a weird mixing, old-fashioned and "young" at once.
