First Lady Melania Trump is Making ‘Coat-Slinging’ Fashionable Again (photos)
Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood ^ | 11/26/17 | john Binder

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.

Coat slinging works best when you have nothing to hide.

As a man, I'm glad I don't have to keep up with the styles of the females. For work, I just wear the same suits and ties I wore 30 years ago.

Well, unless you are rocking a fedora every day I imagine you make some concessions to fashion. But yeah, other than that and the width of ties there isn't much difference between men's fashion over the past 40 years (you can't count the 70s, everyone went a little crazy then).

Just search “Michelle Obama crotch bulge” and prepare to be sick.

Good video, and don’t forget: Joan Rivers died a week later after outing Michael as a tranny and to this day the public hasn’t been given any kind of adequate answer to how Rivers died. She went to get a routine check up on her throat, what does that entail? A doctor shines a flashlight down your throat, and she stops breathing? And then we got that excuse that she had a “minor surgical procedure without her consent”. What the hell does that even mean? What doctor in his right mind is going to operate on a patient without that patients consent? That’s professional suicide.

Barron Trump Is An Insanely Tall Child: An Investigation

I've been saying that for the last year. I feel sorry for him because there is a lot of pressure on any kid who is taller, and therefore looks older, than the average for his age. My husband doesn't even believe that he's 11 because he looks 15. I think he's a gorgeous kid, and I hope his mother continues to protect him. There is no current example for him to follow in the White House because all other Presidential children have been girls, or adults, since John John Kennedy.

Are you fashion designer John Smith?

Nope. I have zero financial stake in this, even in the most wild-eyed fantasy.

I cast no aspersions on your office manager personally, who I'm sure was a most classy lady. Regardless, this "coat as cloak" look is silly. It immobilizes the woman's upper arms, forcing her elbows to substitute poorly as shoulders. She ends up looking like a deformed T-Rex with half-length arms. It's stupid. Mrs. Trump would look fantastic in an actual cloak.

She’s a beautiful woman, but I don’t like all of her outfits/looks. This one I like!

Born to be a leader.

As it was said of George Washington, he is always the tallest man in the room he is bound to lead something.

Dearest Melania

I love everything about you .... yet, your feet look like they were stuffed into those stilettos.

Once in a while, go for comfort. Practicality.

On the contrary ... a young man that age suffers *far* more if they are short.

Tall is a good thing.
