It’s fine to have a thread for spouses and family members. But the nominees are off limits. If you wouldn’t have a thread for Trump or for Biden in terms of fashion, then there shouldn’t be one for Harris.

I agree.

We wouldn’t do this to a male candidate. Ugh.

Pretty sure we talked about Hillary’s pant suits. Why would Kamala be off limits? This is a fashion board.

That wasn't the question. Do you talk about what men wear? If she wore her bathroom and fuzzy slippers I would still vote for her over that orange man!

I'm voting for Kamala, I've donated to Kamala, and I want to talk about Kamala's clothes.

One reason I like talking about the clothes of women at this level is that women are still figuring out what it means to dress professionally and powerfully. It's still an open question and unlike men there is still not an obvious answer that will suit (pun intended) all women -- some women do pant suits while others do sheath dresses with a variety of jacket styles and still others do something else. Women have to figure out how much color to wear and what colors to wear because unlike men there is still on consensus on when and how to wear color in womens professional dress (and a woman who never wears color can be accused of being too dour or serious whereas a woman who wears a lot of color or wears colors people don't respond well to can be accused of being unserious or frivolous all without even technically citing her wardrobe).

This is actually a really important issue for a lot of professional women and any serious female presidential candidate is going to be highly influential on how womens clothing is perceived in the professional world. It will script people's expectations of what a powerful or competent woman looks like. It matters.

She can keep the pants but the cut of the jacket needs to be addressed. Too bulky and looks oversized

How would you make her jacket look smaller?

I'm glad she did a mix of light and dark. When going through photos I was thinking about how I much prefer her in the cream colored suits. Typically with her dark suits she does a dark top. I think the contrast suits (ha) her.

I disagree. I think standards for women and professional dress are pretty much set. What has changed is that environments are going more casual and that suit selection has absolutely stunk post pandemic. (I’ll be glad to see suits back in stores). Some women hate suits and therefore for something else. but it’s not at all in doubt what a woman of Harris, Pelosi, Clinton’s stature should wear in 2024.

Nope, disagree. She looks spot on.

I wish she would cut 2 inches off of her hair and have a chic bob. A little more flair and fewer boxy suits.

Consdiering how differently these three women dress, I find this an odd statement. And throw in Nikki Haley and Elizabeth Warren, and you have fourth and fifth distinct looks. All have found looks that work for them, even Clinton though it's not quite my cup of tea. But in no way is it obvious the way black or navy suit, white or blue shirt, and neck tie is obvious for men.

Personally, I like this. But it does mean there is more room to make mistakes as well.

I think she'd look awful with a bob. I really like her hair.
