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.

I can’t believe using all those adjectives to describe someone who looks like a 1960’s Hippy. Then again, maybe the writer is too young to know about those days.
Her outfits are “Miami Vice” style.
Just put some pink flamingos in the background and the scene is set.
So glad the style folks are weighing in on politics
Yes I meant to be snarky
Jeff Bezos pays someone to write crap like this?
I didn’t know the Washington Post used the same writers as J Peterman.
We both adored the Edwardian stylings of the pillared dining car and the open air balcony. She strained to catch the mist from the falls along the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
In the lounge I found her reading Panic in a Suitcase.
She was anything but in a panic; she’d shed that burden when she landed in Durban.
Now, she was in Africa.
And it’s never too late.

Now the dnc is paving the way to replace Hillary!
WAPO pays Robin Givhan how much for this slobber?
She dresses goofy.
My reaction exactly — especially since the writer made us visualize Warren at the kitchen sink WASHING DISHES with Palmolive! HA HA HA!!
UGH!
If you can claim to be any sex you want and it has to be accepted, you can claim to be Native American and it has to be respected.
A haiku:
The gushing Authress
Has heap big love for Warren
It’s propaganda!
Isn’t it sexist to focus on women politicians’ clothes and hair instead of substance? Oh, wait, Robin Givhans (is this Mike Tyson’s former punching bag?) addresses substance when she informs us that Warren is a “featherweight”. When I consider “Presidential qualities”, I know featherweight is first on my list. Is “feather” a subliminal (fashion) message?
Haiku:
They have vaginas
But yeah: nobody goes there
Except beard Huma
“I didn’t know the Washington Post used the same writers as J Peterman.”
I snarfed my coffee !
I’m surprised this is in the Style section of the WaPo..
With the shovels of manure they are slinging such as
“In her own tailored, jewel-tone way, Warren has adopted the traditional aesthetic of male politicians, who signal their intention to move from abstract policy promises into frank, regular-folk talk by removing their suit jackets and rolling up their shirt sleeves. Men most often perform this sartorial ballet when they are standing in front of blue-collar workers”
I would have thought it was in the editorial.
This sounds like the same writers that put together the catalog for Mr. Peterman. (Seinfeld)
