Analysing Melania Trump’s style: shoulder robing and shift dresses

..She has for one, shown serious dedication to that most fashion of affectations: the shoulder robe (the art of balancing your coat on your shoulders, which offers a more nuanced, high level approach to putting on an outerwear garment rather than the pedestrian act of simply putting your arms through the sleeves). Her efforts here are accomplished. On stage in Iowa, after introducing her husband as “the best master negotiator” she stepped back from the lectern, flicked that perfect blow-dry delicately over her shoulder, and all without her bright red coat budging an inch.

The potential first lady cast her vote alongside Republican nominee Donald Trump while demonstrating the fashion art of shoulder-robing. It’s hard to imagine negotiating a voting booth in a shoulder-robed coat. But somehow, Melania Trump did — and looked great doing it. She’s been practicing the maneuver for years, after all.

My Gramp would “tip” his hat when a lady passed by and say “How do.” I miss him. A true gentleman.

This makes sense. It’s like a cape and that would be natural for her since she is a superhero in real life.

It’s become such a fashionable affectation that I wouldn’t be surprised if desgners have started putting some kind of strap in the shoulders.

Like springs in hatbands, and weights in hems...

This woman has such a warm spirit and kind heart. She is strong, but a lot of people want to see her fail. I pray she is surrounded by immense LOVE and SUPORT as she finds her voice and defines her new role for herself. :) I would love to see her speak at an event one day.

Those are nice buttons. When taking the coat to be dry cleaned, you’ll either have to cover them with foil or remove them and sew them back on later.

And going on an airplane was almost a ‘fancy-dress’ occasion.

I wasn’t allowed to go to church as a little girl without a hat and gloves.

Same here. I also wore gloves when traveling by plane or train, or going into "The City" (San Francisco).

What a snarky article. They had to really work since they can’t find anything wrong with her looks or her style.
