First Lady Melania Trump loves to rock a luxury designer coat, though she prefers to simply drape the outerwear over her shoulders.
With her arms free from the sleeves of the coat, Melania transforms what would be a winter-look into an eveningwear ensemble that’s as elegant and fashion-forward as a Dior gown. This is known as “coat-slinging.”
Once a look reserved for fashion insiders and editors, Melania is making coat-slinging the new American silhouette for this winter and early spring. For Melania, coat-slinging serves two purposes.
The first purpose is practicality. Why wear a coat when you can drape it over your shoulders and increase the elegance of your outfit?
The second purpose is asserting her stature as First Lady. By coat-slinging, Melania is able to subtly and stylishly declare her significance in the White House. The draping over of her coats keeps her in a poised, statuesque stance that exudes regality.

OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT jacket. Probably costs more than I make in a year
Coat slinging works best when you have nothing to hide.
She’s simply stunning.
As First Family, every single thing they do is watched and remarked on. Melania deals with this better than the average woman, since she was a model. She’s somewhat used to being stared at and constantly judged. Mike Pence’ wife Karen may be having a different time, but I rarely ever see her in a public setting. This is probably the way the Pence’s want it.
Its called shoulder robing
best first lady ever and its not even close.
Flotus slings coat, media slings mud.
That’s a good point. Melania doesn’t strike me as an attention seeker but she has the perfect background for dealing gracefully with all the cameras pointed at her. She has that ingrained “camera awareness” and poise.
I didn’t know it was called coat-slinging, but she does it better than anybody!
Laz would hit the one on the right first...
Ugh.
I wish she would either:
1) Learn how to wear a coat
or
2) Start wearing cloaks.
Cloaks are cool.
Cloaks are cool."
Heck...Even if she wore nothing I wouldn't complain or be picky...
