Black crepe with a small tortoiseshell print, the pantsuit is among the simplest looks Mrs. Obama has worn in her post-White House life, in which her style on book tours and at big events has been marked by a discernible experimentation and sense of fun: Balenciaga “pantaboots,” Versace safety pins. Not this time. This time, the suit was even simpler than the one she wore at the DNC.

[...]

The suit was from Theory, a label that has become a uniform for many working women as they climb the executive ranks, and that has grown into a behemoth. (It is now owned by Fast Retailing, the group that owns Uniqlo; the blazer that Mrs. Obama wore is currently on sale for $256.80). As such, it was less a fashion statement than a statement of solidarity — with the women in the room and with Ms. Harris herself.

    I wish they would deploy this genre of articled--the highly detailed inventory of what a political actor wears--and do it to all men as well. not just the rumbles suit/same jacket for 20 years crank like Bernie, but the impeccably tailored ancient senators and pseudo-rural folks-whisperers in $500/yard bespoke custom run seersucker suits that cost more than most people spend on their entire wardrobe over the course of their lives.

    and the they should aggregate and confine all of the articles of this genre to a special periodical called, The Toilet.
