I think we've made such leaps in politics and gender because when the news broke yesterday, I didn't even reflect on the fact that (a) she's a woman; (b) she's ethnic; and (c) clothes. Like, none of this seems on anyone's priority radar. In either political party. Which is a really huge jump in 5-10 years, right?

So what do I think about her clothes? Well, the OP's question is the first time I've thought about it ever (good sign). Historically, she's always come across very well on stage, like any other president or VP - which I guess means she should keep doing what she's doing: Neutral, well fitted suits that don't distract. Basically, same answer as Biden, Obama, etc etc. (To keep it party neutral, I would say trump, but i've always thought his suits are very ill-fitting and distracting; first time i saw him at a debate, I asked my DH what they hell he was wearing, because it was so distracting).

Point being: I am pretty excited we're at a place where, at least for me, this is a non-question.

^^That’s her look, only the colors change. Her look is not fashion forward, not dowdy (Hilary), but it’s fine.

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.

It’s just for fun! Lighten up. I like her as a leader and can still enjoy talking about her style. I feel she would not be insulted in the least by a bunch of randoms who think her pantsuits really work for her 🤷‍♀️

I loved her inauguration (purple) look and I hope she keeps the rainbow jacket for Pride month.

This is a really stupid set of threads, OP.

The orange flame jacket Pelosi wore to the WH to meet with Trump! Iconic.

That was the meeting where it was Pelosi with about 15 men and they look like chastised little boys. Boy, are they scared of a strong and smart woman.

Kamala Harris is a good dresser. Not the best (Jackie Kennedy and Melania Trump occupy first place jointly), but good enough.

Looking forward to the First Husband dropping off a suit at the National History First Ladies Collection!!!

Haha.

Melania copies Jackie.

First place dressers for whom? If first Ladies, then Kamala can’t even compete in that category! Compare her to other presidential candidates if we’re playing that game.

First place dressers for women in or close to power, duh. Harris, being the actual person in power, will stick to her pantsuits. They're a great choice for her.

OP was asking about trends in fashion, not what the nominee will wear. I assume OP thinks trends may be different depending on who is the next pres.

Don’t be a sexist and assume it was a question about what Kamala will wear.

There have been plenty of articles written about fashion trends of various presidents - usually on political lines.

+1 She has a thread here: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/812571.page

It would be cool if she wore a sari.

The pantsuits work on her because they're tailored to suit her figure, she's got long enough legs, and she wears heels.

She looks amazing as she is.
