Harris, wearing Converse canvas shoes and pearls, becomes the first female vice president in US history

Loves to wear Converse and pearls

Harris worked hard on her own

Became the first female vice president in the history of the United States

The cover girl of the February 2021 American edition of Vogue magazine is Kamala Harris, the newly-appointed Vice President of the United States.
If a female star were to be the cover girl, she would have to put in her best outfits.

But Harris is different.

In a previously exposed cover, she wore black skinny jeans, a white inner layer, a black casual suit from the American designer brand Donald Deal, black low-top Converse canvas shoes, and her favorite pearl necklace.

She still smiled confidently at the camera, just like she did countless times when she gave speeches and attended meetings.

This “too casual” cover look caused controversy. Many people thought her canvas shoes were too informal and she didn’t wear a full suit. Some people also thought she was “deliberately close to the people” in this way.

Vogue later changed to another version of Harris’s cover.

She wore a light blue Michael Kors suit, with her arms folded and half-body composition, which was more in line with the image of a “female vice president” in people’s minds. The background was also changed from the previous pink and green to a capable golden color.

Although Harris is not the first lady, she has become the most watched female politician in the world with her professional ability to “break the ceiling of American women in politics” and her iconic outfit full of feminine power.

Harris has added her unique personal style to the traditional dressing routine of “female politicians”. Behind each seemingly simple look, there are small thoughts that are both approachable and fashionable.

Her followers even created a website called “WhatKamalaWore” to record her daily style.

01 The Vice President who is very popular in the fashion circle

Harris has close relationships with many designers and stylists in the fashion circle. Last year, she became famous for her “good dressing skills”.

In her election speech, Harris appeared in a pure white “power suit”, which became a famous scene for female politicians in history.

The white suit is from Carolina Herrera, and the silk bow shirt inside is from Tory Burch, both of which are American fashion brands.

In November 2020, Harris appeared on the cover of the American version of ELLE magazine.

She wore an Altuzarra dark gray wool suit, paired with basic black pointed high heels, and sat by the pool in front of the Washington Monument, exuding the demeanor of a “big heroine”.

02 Pearls should be worn with Converse

Suits should not be worn as a set

Like the British Princess Kate’s love for dresses and coats, Harris also has several items with strong personal style in his daily wear.

“I have a whole series of Chuck Taylors canvas shoes”

Harris’ favorite daily item is Converse Chuck Taylors canvas shoes.

While following Biden on the presidential campaign, Harris basically wore Converse canvas shoes. This pair of “national sneakers” won her a lot of favor wherever she went.

During a speech in Florida, she once pinned badges that read “Black Joy,” “Stop Hate” and “Love 2020” on a pair of high-top beige Converse sneakers, making the shoes look like her exclusive edition.

“Pearl is my best friend”
Pearls are another signature accessory for Harris.

When she was a student, one of her mother’s mentors traveled to Japan and brought her a pearl necklace as a gift, which sparked her love for this element.

While studying at Howard University, Harris was a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha club, which aims to train female leaders. The club called its founding members and founders “Twenty Pearls”.

In the eyes of Glenda Glover, the founder of the club, pearls also represent the delicacy and wisdom of women.

When promoting her new book 《Superheroes Are Everywhere》, Harris has been wearing a black pearl necklace and matching earrings in the same color.

Harris is particularly fond of pearls. She gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention in August 2020 wearing her signature double-layer pearl necklace.

Then at the vice presidential debate in October, she chose a pearl and turquoise necklace to brighten up her dull black outfit.

These necklaces appear repeatedly in her looks. The roundness and gentleness of the pearls just neutralize the sharp edges of the suit and also bring more femininity to Harris.
As Vanity Fair magazine commented on the “return of fashion diplomacy”, Harris will promote American designers with her own unique style.

Summary

When she gave a speech in Converse, she also set an example for other female politicians who are still worried about how to dress – there is no need to follow the so-called dogma, and the most important thing is to find a style that makes you comfortable.
