The New York Instances has a narrative immediately, pondering what a girl president ought to put on — based mostly on the oodles of pantsuits on show in The Diplomat. (No spoilers please, I have never began watching the brand new season but! However seasons 1 and a couple of have been wonderful.)
Vanessa Friedman’s level (present hyperlink) is that Hollywood must be a bit bolder, extra imaginative, of their show of ladies presidents and their apparel. That darkish, somber fits play it too secure. Certainly, she notes,
[i]n the true world, many ladies in politics have begun to stretch these notions, whether or not it’s Angela Merkel and her brightly coloured jackets, Hillary Clinton with the white pantsuit that turned a rallying cry or Kamala Harris and her pussy-bow blouses. That the wardrobes of their fictional avatars are being diminished to their most elementary widespread denominators is miserable.
I assumed it would make an attention-grabbing dialogue right here. What ought to girls presidents put on?
My $.02 mainly comes right down to “regardless of the heck she desires…” however I feel one thing that is lacking within the NYT article is a recognition that, as we regularly say right here, a swimsuit is usually the best factor to placed on within the morning. I can perceive wanting to choose attention-grabbing fits for greater speeches (as Michelle Obama usually does in actual life), however on a day after day foundation I really feel like she must be comfy, one thing the skintight attire and sky excessive heels from Veep or Home of Playing cards do not fairly enable for.
{psst: we truly took a have a look at the style from each Veep and Home of Playing cards!}
Readers, what are your ideas — how ought to girls presidents gown? In the event you might outfit a fictional lady president, what would you’ve got her put on? How does it differ from what you put on to work your self?
