she seems To be polling better since she switched her facial expression to an infinite smile---Kudos to her PR people.

I think I already said this in this thread (or was it another) -- I ADORE the Veep clothes, but JLD is a tiny little person that is probably a size zero. What works for her is not going to work for KH, who is curvy and athletic build. Also, if you google any of the actual JLD outfits, they are incredibly expensive (which is possibly why they look so great). Maybe KH has that kind of coin, but I suspect she would get a lot of flack if people found out she was wearing a $6,000 dress or a $2,000 shirt to a campaign rally. JLD probably also had a custom tailor and a whole staff of people for the show that adjusted everything -- not sure that's practical for a politician on the move. I think KH does really, really great for a working woman who is flying around the country giving on her feet rallies. (I would not be wearing heels if I were her, that's for sure!)

I don't think that's the reason. I just found this thread and was surprised it took so long for somebody to point out how poorly all her jackets fit. They are all too big. She needs tailoring. And I really noticed it in a few of the photos of her alongside Biden. His suits are very well-tailored and not big and boxy due to a bullet-proof vest. She just doesn't have custom or tailored suits, so they don't fit.

The boxy jackets are truly unflattering.

I feel like we must be talking about two different people. The KH I see has great classic jackets that are always nipped in at the waist -- I figure she must get them tailored to fit so well. She has a big bust (or at least not a small one) so it's always going to be a little wide across the top. She also has hips. So maybe it's curves you're seeing?

I don't like her and won't vote for her but she is beautiful. I too am glad she isn't over botoxed like Whitmer. I want my politicians to look seasoned.

Hopefully she pulls out her Converse this election season and keeps wearing those Converse during her first term. Why should she have to walk EVERYWHERE including down those slippery plane steps in heels?

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!

DP. This thread is not about "that orange man," unlike 90% of the threads on this forum. I'm afraid you're just going to have to deal with people discussing Kamala Harris's "fashion" choices, just like there are threads about Usha Vance, the Trump women, Jill Biden, and other notable women (and some men). You can't censor discussion of her just because she's the nominee. If anything, there will be far MORE discussion about all aspects of her life now - just as there is with any candidate. Deal with it.

And my friend you will have to deal with me raising these issues. Sorry, not sorry.

Raise away. We will ignore you as you have no leg to stand on.

Because they are men, no one cares about their fashion. No one is off limits here. Carry on!

Can't believe the defensiveness. Of course we're going to discuss her fashion choices.

Some of us are questioning the 'of course we are discussing HER fashion choices' as if this is silly even to push back.

Yes, I know this is fashion but when will we be taken seriously if this is a major discussion?

Just think about that.

What? She’s a person in the public eye. Of course she’s fair game to discuss - fashion and otherwise.

Do you really think fashion has nothing to do with politics? Whether you're a man or a woman?

Please do tell...remember only men and their fashion choices..

Maybe? But it was the same look when she was AG and Senator.

Yes, but they don't fit anymore, always too big. I think it is the vest.

Anonymous wrote:I like that it doesn't look like she's overdone Botox or really some any fillers. Many politicians (including Joe Biden) overdo the Botox around their eyes and I dislike the effect. I'm sure she gets it in her forehead but she doesn't have that frozen face effect so I think she uses less. She looks great but she also looks her age and I think that's actually helpful for a presidential candidate who is asking for the trust of people to do a very serious job. Her age is a big asset because she's very experienced and mature but not so old that you worry about dementia or losing a step. So no reason to try and look 45. Her age is perfect for the job.

Totally agree on this. I was really upset with whoever in Biden's circle was encouraging all his Botox. I think it gave him that permanent vacant or confused look because you can't move your eyes really, and also took away what used to be a very charming, disarming grin he had. Melania has the same Botox problem -- it's one of the reasons people make jokes that she always looks so pissed off (which maybe she is), but her face is frozen into that vaguely confused stare that you get with too much Botox around the eyes and mouth.

Anyway, I think Kamala looks great, but I also think that talking about candidate fashion is fair game. With Trump his "fashion" was a big part of his look -- that overlong tie, the shlumpy pants that were too baggy and too long, etc. Maybe it helped him with his base (?), but it definitely contributed to his look as being slightly crazed and like a "get off my lawn!" grandpa. Trump was also basically incapable of wearing anything other than the suit or a golf outfit (which looks even worse on him, as it always looks two sizes too small). Biden and Obama both always had effortless style where they looked professional and also casual at the same time, and it was definitely part of their appeal. I remember even during the Gore campaign, people talked about his dumb brown suits and whether they made him look less rich-preppy, or just like he was trying to hard to look approachable.
