Why This Iconic Look Is Making A Comeback

Ah, the pantsuit. It’s a symbol of gender and power, representing high-level leadership with a hint of elegance. It’s a style First Ladies and female politicians have worn for decades. And today it’s established itself as a crucial element of the modern woman’s wardrobe, with CEOs and celebrities also adopting the trend. Yet there is no name more synonymous with the pantsuit than Hillary Clinton. The Democratic presidential nominee has evolved her signature look from monochromatic separates to bold, printed tuxedo styles, and she’s come to epitomize a sartorial movement that has inspired events such as tomorrow’s National Pantsuit Day. Here, we share just how much she’s influenced the fashion industry—with a uniform that not only breaks societal assumptions, but also announces the arrival of the contemporary independent woman.
