Jacket, Hoodie, Coat: Why Maduro Dressed Differently After His Arrest

After his arrest, Nicolás Maduro appeared in public wearing different clothes each time: a gray jacket, a blue hoodie, and finally a black coat with a hat. These changes are not due to stylistic preferences, but to the need to adapt to the different weather conditions he faced during his journey from Caracas to New York. The temperature in Caracas was relatively mild (26 degrees Celsius), while in New York it was winter with very low temperatures (-6 degrees Celsius). The sudden change in climate could have negative effects on Maduro's health, so he was provided with appropriate clothing to protect him from the cold. According to scientific studies, sudden changes in temperature can increase the risk of respiratory problems and other illnesses. For this reason, the medical team monitoring Maduro made sure to provide him with the necessary protection from the cold. In addition to adapting to the weather conditions, the change of clothes may also indicate the feeling of discomfort and insecurity that Maduro is experiencing after his arrest.
