US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has a great wardrobe as is pretty clear from pictures that she posts on social media frequently. In fact, her elegant style of blazers paired with sneakers is a new way of power dressing.
Kamala Harris, 56, will make history as the first woman, first Black and first South Asian-American vice president of the US on Wednesday. As per several US media outlets, Kamala Harris ensures that her attire reflects her approachable personality.
WHAT DOES KAMALA HARRIS'S WARDROBE CONSIST OF?
Kamala Harris's wardrobe is quite no-nonsense and primarily features blazers, skinny pants, pearls and converse sneakers.
"Her style is understated, tailored, elegant, businesslike, with a touch of whimsy. The clothes don't wear her; she wears the clothes," Susan E Kelley, who runs the blog What Kamala Wore, said in a report in The New York Post, as per news agency PTI.
That professional polish mixed with West Coast nonchalance signals a new way of dressing for the corridors of power, Susan E Kelly added.
KAMALA HARRIS'S FASHION SENSE
As per the report published in The New York Post, Kamala Harris's sense of style goes all the way back to the days when she was a lawyer in San Francisco.
She had a big collection of sharp blazers in neutral tones along with accessories such as bold scarves, colourful converse or the jangly bangles she wears alongside a Cartier watch, the report said.
"She dressed in her usual work style of dark neutrals and simple lines. In the pictures, she doesn't look stiffly styled or glamorously made-over for her debut as a vice-presidential candidate. Her clothes do not look like they've been pulled fresh from a shopping bag," a report in the Washington Post said.
Kamala's Closet and What Kamala Wore are two blogs that were introduced lately illustrating details of her various looks.
WHAT WILL KAMALA HARRIS WEAR ON INAUGURATION DAY?
Several sections of the media are speculating as to what Kamala Harris will wear on Inauguration Day.
"I am so curious about her outfit. Is she going to do any sort of nod to her upbringing by wearing something by an Indian designer or a Black designer? Is she going to wear a designer she's used in the past, like Altuzarra or Michael Kors, or someone out of left field?" Vittoria Vignone, who manages the blog Kamala's Closet, was quoted as saying in the New York Post report.
Hazel Clark, professor at the Parsons School of Design, said in The New York Post, "She shows that you don't have to be a slave for fashion and be stylish. You can be you and be on the cover of Vogue. I think that is inspiring."
