Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren moves with the fleet-footed bounce of a featherweight fighter - an agile pugilist who has been using Twitter to deliver jabs and hooks to Republican front-runner Donald Trump. She is not an especially elegant fighter, but she's fast - throwing a barrage of blows: "loser," "pathetic," "weak."

And in person, too, her style is aerodynamic, with her short sandy hair, rimless glasses, necklace-free decolletage and tiny stud earrings. She is nearly accoutrement-free as she moves against the head winds. She looks quick and agile. Flexed for a fight. And her sleeves are always rolled up - literally and metaphorically. She is ready to get her hands dirty.

Warren favors trim jackets in bold, TV-friendly colors: turquoise and raspberry, purple and shades of Twitter blue. Her jackets just brush her hips; the lapels are minimal; and she often keeps her collar popped, as if the blazer must do the work of a coat because she simply does not have time to be bothered with a trench. She must stay loose, limber. Warren likes bracelet sleeves, which end several inches above her wrists, but she typically does not wear a bracelet or even a watch. If her jacket sleeves are not cropped, then they are folded back.

On the public stage, her clothes always suggest that she is ready to get down to business, to cut to the chase.

Maybe we’ll get relief from Michelle-inspired sleevelessness on TV news women, even in the winter in the north.

Like we really believe any of these politicians roll-up their sleeves to help us rake the lawn or clean out the pig sty.

I have no use for big fake squaw. But would WP ever, ever think of printing such a gushing fashion review in the guise of political opinion for a male senator?
