[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NOPE. Let’s not do this.

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. [/quote]

I agree.

We wouldn’t do this to a male candidate. Ugh. [/quote]

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

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![/quote]

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

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. [/quote]
