I wore a black skirt suit as my mother insisted trousers wouldn't be proper. She also wore a skirt suit I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381614 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 12:20:12 +0000 Glory 1381614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Several years ago I attended an awards ceremony where I met the president and other people. Comfort and warmth were key because it was in November, in Washington and was an all day event that had us moving venues once.<br />I wore black trousers with booties, cream silk shirt and a black jacket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381603 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 12:08:01 +0000 Quietgirl 1381603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p></p> <p>Jjsloane: absolutely true. They are just people which is why I <i>might</i> not feel the need to shop. My husband met one of the former presidents at the flea market where he was campaigning, which is&nbsp;along the lines of&nbsp;what&nbsp;happened to</p> <p>jackiec at the hockey rink.

I have a dress that, for me, strikes the perfect balance between day and nighttime wear. It's an ink-blue jersey-knit number with a lace overlay around the top and pure lace, 3-4-sleeves. If I wore that with black sheer textured hose, elegant black pumps, pearl/gold jewelry and a gold clutch, I'd feel totally appropriate. <br />Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381228 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 00:04:43 +0000 Jjsloane 1381228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said of course. I used to wait tables in Martha's Vineyard and met many celebs. While I realize they are real people (and some are good and some are poor tippers) I am still a bit gobsmacked by BIG celebs (and I would put POTUS and FLOTUS in this category).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381196 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 23:00:31 +0000 ironkurtin 1381196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JackieC, I did have friends who met British royalty a few times (his mother was "personed" or something for advocating for wheelchair access and rights) and they dressed nicely but not Oscar nice.

He was in town, meeting with our Premier. Our Premier's son was on my son's hockey team. So, the whole brigade of officials came to watch the hockey game (photo opp - out in the community ). I was&nbsp;wearing the usual, jeans, boots, and most likely black short puffer and scarf. Nothing fancy at all.&nbsp;Highly un-dressy but normal hockey rink attire ;)</p> <p>Even got a photo with him. Wonder if I can dig that up...</p> <p>Now if I were to meet real&nbsp;Royalty? Well that would be a different outfit... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381167 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 22:14:49 +0000 Meow 1381167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would go into a panic and go shopping.&nbsp; Then wonder aimlessly around the mall until I felt really bad and go have a chocolate chip cookie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381147 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 21:42:09 +0000 ironkurtin 1381147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to the White House in 1996 to meet then FLOTUS Hillary Clinton for a landmine awareness program wearing a suit from Banana Republic.&nbsp; Fit right in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381140 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 21:31:05 +0000 LadyLilac 1381140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I would tend to wear something similar to what Angelina Jolie wore when receiving an Honorary Damehood from Queen Elizabeth.</p> <p><a href="http://tomandlorenzo.com/2014/10/angelina-jolie-receives-honorary-damehood-in-ralph-russo-couture/" rel="nofollow">http://tomandlorenzo.com/2014/.....o-couture/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381138 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 21:27:15 +0000 bj1111 1381138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>as Angie said, depended on the situation/context.</p> <p>i hear AT is quite popular in the functionariat.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381129 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 20:49:57 +0000 Isabel 1381129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great question. &nbsp;Two years ago, a dear friend of mine visiting from Europe gave a talk in Washington D.C. &nbsp; Because her husband is a top Physicist in Italy and they both worked at the CERN , she was invited to the Italian embassy to have dinner with the ambassador and his wife. &nbsp;She asked me ( the day before ) if I would like to go, that they had invited me ! &nbsp;I went into a mini panic and had no time for shopping. &nbsp;But I packed a lovely merino wool dress with tuxedo ruffles down the front, nice jewelry and a colorful scarf. &nbsp;I also wore a merino wool blazer with inverted seaming and a peplum. &nbsp;I wore a trench ( it rained ). &nbsp; I felt perfectly comfortable. &nbsp;( I should say that the Ambassador was called away for something urgent. &nbsp;His wife stayed and&nbsp;was dressed lovely in charcoal grey wool pants, lovely shoes, a black cashmere sweater and a lovely vest with a little metallic in it. &nbsp;She looked beautiful. &nbsp;She had great hair and skin. My friend also wore black pants and a bright color&nbsp;jacket with a scarf and looked beautiful...I was the only one in a dress. &nbsp; : ) &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I feel that if I have a nice black dress with seaming to give it shape and an interesting detail, a scarf, jewelry ( I have plenty of both ) and black pumps, I can go anywhere.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381113 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 20:14:02 +0000 carter 1381113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I worked in Presidential Politics and lobbying for several years and served in a couple Administrations, so...work clothes, which in DC was either a dress or a skirt suit, nude hose and pumps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381106 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 20:07:14 +0000 Laurinda 1381106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A new dress, bought in D.C. I'm afraid my go-to paisley knit dress from Kohl's would not cut it. And&nbsp;if I ever had a reason to meet with an in-person stylist, shopping for said dress would be it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381025 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 18:05:24 +0000 Sal 1381025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I could stop myself getting a new outfit!</p> <p>I would get a stylish day dress, my hair done and wear a big grin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381013 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 17:50:15 +0000 Angie 1381013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It would depend on the occasion. Fancy frock, dressy separates&nbsp;or&nbsp;Theory suit. &nbsp;Probably throw in some J.Crew for FLOTUS. (Not that I need any persuading to wear J.Crew. I love their knitwear and coats).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381012 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 17:49:42 +0000 Alexandra 1381012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A dress, most likely. With a cardigan or jacket to keep warm if needed. Regular heels. Nothing super special, really, but I tend to be on the dressed up side of things on a normal day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-meet-potus#post-1381009 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 17:41:12 +0000 Quietgirl 1381009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We depend on our wardrobes to carry us into lots of situations. If you were going to meet a Prime Minister, Queen, or President, what would you wear?</p> <p>I'd like to think I would just be me and not worry about such an occasion, that I would wear what is already in my closet.&nbsp;My outfit&nbsp;would be based on a skirt or dress, however. <b>How about you? What would you wear to meet the leader of your nation?</b></p> <p>For Fabbers outside of US,&nbsp;POTUS&nbsp;= President of the United States</p> <p></p>
