Dress to represent

Honestly, no place could have been a more opportune venue, other than the Chicago convention itself. Nothing has excited America more than next month’s presidential election, simply because the current Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, a mixed-race woman, is against an all-white (and a little orange) Republican Donald Trump.

Harris wore a pantsuit, a power dressing mandate in the sobering, so-boring, sartorial codes of America (if this was Europe, she would be in a mid-calf black dress hugging her every curve). The saving grace was perhaps that it was tan and by the stylish label Chloe.

Harris has hardly changed her wardrobe since she was announced as a presidential candidate. As vice-president, she dressed as safely as possible, so as to not distract from the focus on her work. Harris’s uniform has been tried-and-tested classic—tailored suits in black or neutrals, straight-leg trousers, Converse sneakers or then pointy pumps, and a gold link or pearl necklace.
