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.

      To be fair, some $295 trifle of an accessory is pretty reasonable considering their dozens of acres of Hawaiian beachfront property spread across multiple compounds, including historic Hawaiian heritage sites that they promptly helped destroy by being part of the insufferable sea wall folks who destroy beaches for everyone to keep a little bit of their land a little longer

      Both parties are NoT ThE SaMe indeed.
