Maybe not just women though, remember the flap when Barack Obama wore a tan suit?</p> <p>I love that she wears casual shoes with her suits. I even saw a rally where it looked like she might have been wearing dark jeans with a blazer instead of matching pants? Might not have been jeans but I still liked it :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kamala-harris-remarkably-unremarkable-style#post-2150556 Thu, 29 Oct 2020 11:39:04 +0000 Anonymous 2150556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with CC. They almost never talk about what males in the public eye are wearing, but with females it's "what designer is it" or "she bought it on high street" etc. Has there ever been an interview with a female celebrity of any sort that they don't ask about her clothes or some other thing about her appearance? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kamala-harris-remarkably-unremarkable-style#post-2150549 Thu, 29 Oct 2020 11:00:28 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2150549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Liesbeth, I was an academic.

What I did, anyway, when I had a job. Not easy to break back into after as many years as I’ve been out of the workforce. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kamala-harris-remarkably-unremarkable-style#post-2150540 Thu, 29 Oct 2020 10:16:14 +0000 Liesbeth 2150540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's nice that she manages to show some personality through her clothes, while mainly sticking to the neutral and generally expected pieces (like the dark suits) - Cons excepted. It looks authentic too, but I don't think you can ever really know with a top politician how much of their image is built. So I find it best not to pay too much attention to that except if you like to analyse symbolism, cultural shifts and power dynamics :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kamala-harris-remarkably-unremarkable-style#post-2150536 Thu, 29 Oct 2020 09:04:24 +0000 nemosmom 2150536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Shevia said!&nbsp; KH looks approachable, practical, and just more attuned to the world around her. I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kamala-harris-remarkably-unremarkable-style#post-2150517 Thu, 29 Oct 2020 04:09:43 +0000 Jane 2150517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s interesting to read the comments, I see very little US coverage so my comments are based on the glimpses that I see.</p> <p>I’m nodding with Shevia, as the clothes do look comfortable to move in. </p> <p>The places the rally’s appear to be held in, look to me cold open and exposed. And she looks dressed for those types of places. </p> <p>KH looks modern to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kamala-harris-remarkably-unremarkable-style#post-2150516 Thu, 29 Oct 2020 03:29:00 +0000 Jaime 2150516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What impresses me about KH's style is that it is made for movement. Not just the footwear but the whole thing looks like it is made not to impede - unlike so many traditional political women who wear pumps and constricting sheath dresses. I am a big fan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kamala-harris-remarkably-unremarkable-style#post-2150510 Thu, 29 Oct 2020 01:18:21 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2150510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>“Like an LBD”. I like that. </p> <p>Toronto, the bit I could read said basically what you said. I don’t think I agree, because of the shoes. But I think people are generally over the whole notion of judging women’s politics based on their style. HRC’s pantsuits are made fun of, but so are cliches about her pants suits. RBG’s collars were a thing because she made them one. But Katie Porter, E Warren, the entire “squad”—sure, they get criticized for what they wear more than they should (which is zero). But I think (hope! But never say never ) we are past the time when people are willing to pay attention to that kind of thing over the record of everything she has done and said. Harris has been around a while and has a record in California that’s worth examining critically. Chucks and Butters aren’t going to change that. I’m hopeful that we are at a point in time when there are enough women in professions that there isn’t so much questioning about what they ought to wear. HRC started out back when women were wearing bows to try to imitate ties but somehow soften them. Pants suits were still new-ish, and by the time she ran for office, the ones she was known for were way out of date. I don’t mean that in a “last years model” kind of way, or the way men’s ties get wider “ narrower. The “what should she wear” question was much bigger and more significant when she started with the pants suits. Now it’s pretty much just a sartorial question, same as for anyone else in any other line of work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kamala-harris-remarkably-unremarkable-style#post-2150508 Thu, 29 Oct 2020 00:52:09 +0000 deb 2150508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love her style.

I found it via Google search and for some reason that didn't take me to the registration wall ... You might try an incognito tab ...?</p> <p>To your point CC, the article was saying she has achieved just what you say ... Her "remarkably unremarkable" style is virtually impossible to judge or interpret, similar to a man's navy suit ... Not stylish but not out of style, not 'girly' but not masculine, etc ... The statement is, if you want to know what I'm about, don't bother with my clothes, listen to my words! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kamala-harris-remarkably-unremarkable-style#post-2150490 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 23:14:42 +0000 Classically Casual 2150490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fervently hope someday no more scrutiny is given to women politicians and their appearance than to the men. It just seems that the women can’t catch a break no matter what they do or how they appear.<div><br /></div><div>That said, I think KH always looks professional in her photos, &amp; I enjoy the Chucks and Timberlands.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kamala-harris-remarkably-unremarkable-style#post-2150489 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 22:59:42 +0000 Anonymous 2150489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Lynn. I could not get the original article posted. Interesting what is assumed about Ms. Harris’s politics based on her outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kamala-harris-remarkably-unremarkable-style#post-2150488 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 22:39:19 +0000 Lynne 2150488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love her softened, menswear-inpired aesthetic; I wouldn't call it 'non-descript'? To my eye it's a softer, more feminine version of a very classic style?</p> <p><a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kamala-harris-style-choices-politics_l_5f7b42adc5b6f0010fd53241" rel="nofollow">https://www.huffpost.com/entry.....010fd53241</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kamala-harris-remarkably-unremarkable-style#post-2150487 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 22:22:04 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2150487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It requires registration.
