Ahead of next week's Florida primary, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are battling it out for votes in Miami in their second face-off this week.

Meanwhile, on Twitter, an arguably more important debate is raging - what color is Sanders' suit? 

The Internet is going crazy trying to determine whether the Vermont Senator is wearing a simple, smart black jacket or if he's opted for a more sensational choice - brown.  

It's The Dress - when the world was split over whether a woman's wedding outfit was white and gold or blue and black - all over again.

'Bernie’s suit is the dress for dorks,' wrote Philip Bump, a writer for The Washington Post's politics blog, The Fix, on Twitter.

'Imagine being the staffer who has to tell Bernie Sanders the biggest twitter q from the first 30 mins was what color his suit is #DemDebate,' said DJ Judd.

The Hill's Judy Kurtz lauded Sanders' bold choice, comparing to it the time President Barack Obama wore a tan suit during a press briefing - a choice which also led to social media blowing up. 

And stand-up comedian Travon Free joked: 'I don't care what color Bernie's suit is as long as it isn't "birthday".'

And the debate already led to the creation of a parody Twitter account @BerniesSuit. 

The first tweet posted on the account urged Twitter users to 'RT for brown fav for blue.' It appears brown is winning.

But the truth may be even more confusing.

Mike Casca, Sanders' rapid response director, tweeted: 'The suit senator sanders is wearing tonight is blue.'

Winning: It has already led to the creation of a parody account, which asked the all-important question
