It is the opposite of the pantsuit: the free-flowing, form-swallowing caftan. Yet there was Hillary Clinton talking to Laurene Powell Jobs about President Trump, Russia and the midterm elections at OZY Fest in July, having not so much walked as wafted onstage in a baby-blue linen caftan dotted with white cloudlike shapes.
The former Democratic nominee for president has repeatedly turned to these boxy, ankle-length robes since her 2016 loss, a self-actualized silhouette that seems the equivalent of the beard Al Gore grew after his own defeat in 2000.

She waddled on stage.

“It (caftans) percolated up and became part of the zeitgeist of the era,” said Lauren D. Whitley, the author of “Hippie Chic” and senior curator of the textile department at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Yeah, I remember hippie chicks and spending time under their caftans.

I love this new look!
Now I can spot the truly deranged leftists further away.
Wait - Is this not some sort wrongful of “Cultural-Appropriation”.........
It would be called that if FLOTUS wore that.... wait, our FLOTUS has actual grace, style and good taste (not to mention she is not shaped like a weeble).

Hillary is as ugly outside as she is inside.
Getting long in the tooth does that to a woman.

“Caftan”—what old fat leftist women wear when they’ve completely given up on their looks,
Kankles has taken her caftans to a new level, they look like the’re made out of Motel 6 shower curtains and old tablecloths from Goodwill.
