When I first saw the post about Hillary Clinton and her fashion I was instantly interested. For a reason I never really understood, the fashion choices of Clinton have been documented and commented on very frequently once she gained the public's popularity in the Presidential race. I think the article puts it perfectly by saying that this is only occurring because most of her political life and achievements, especially her political career now with the possibility of being the first woman President have been plagued with sexism and her wardrobe is now included with that. I believe the fact that she is a woman makes a statement on the behalf of progression in the United States that this is even a possibility but I do not think it decides whether she is a good politician or leader. By stooping to the level of debating her clothing choices, I feel enables that type of conversation. It does not matter for men politicians and therefore should not matter for women politicians.
I thought it was perfect the way that there were the comparisons of outfits, especially that there are comparisons to all sorts of celebrities, including President Obama, Beyonce and Jacqueline Kennedy. I just thinks that these comparisons provide the opinions of the mindset that something life fashion is not defining and that expectations surrounded with fashion choices should not be labeled to a person.
