VP Harris has continuously broken barriers since becoming the first woman to serve as the San Francisco District Attorney, the Attorney General of California and and Vice President of the United States. She knows how to blend power and polish with just the right amount of personal flair. Whether VP Harris is abroad during her duties as a diplomat or alongside President Biden in the situation room, she owns her look with confidence.
VP Harris’ go-to outfit is a tailored power suit with either a straight leg or flare leg cut. She rocks them in classic black, navy and grey and a few jewel tones. What sets her apart from other politicians is her fresh, modern take on suits. Harris often pairs her suits with simple blouses in complimentary neutral tones, and accessorizes very appropriately. Her suits aren’t just clothes — they’re a power move all on their own.
Sometimes, VP Harris switches it up with a bold blazer. She’s worn statement making black and white, as well as, some vibrant hues. A bright blazer over dark trousers is her way of adding a pop without going overboard. The blazer is like her secret fashion weapon —it works in a number of settings, including more casual events.
Kamala Harris’ love for pearls is very well known. She wears her pearls as a nod to the traditions of sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha. They add a touch of elegance to her powerful outfits without making them too flashy. Plus, they work with everything from suits, to blouses, to dresses.
VP Harris seems to be more in tune than other politicians when it comes to footwear. She’s got a thing for practical pumps, mostly in black or nude to keep her ensembles professional yet fab. She’s also had a few iconic moments wearing Converse Chuck Taylor All-stars and Timberland 6-inch boots. Who says you can’t be comfy and fly while running the country?
VP Harris’ coat collection deserves its own time in the spotlight. She’s often seen wearing sleek, tailored trench and pea coats in neutral tones, but she’s not afraid to throw in a bold color or pattern when the mood strikes. Harris wears the type of outerwear that makes its own statement before she even speaks.
When Kamala Harris goes monochrome, she goes all in. She rocks tonal looks, head-to-toe in one shade, like a boss. This trick keeps her look streamlined and tall. Whether it’s all navy, black or fuchsia, the tonal vibe is always sleek and powerful. One-color outfits are a simple way to look polished, yet bold.
As with her power suits, VP Harris’ blouse game is very strong. She sticks to crisp whites, soft blues, and the occasional vibrant hue for some fun. She’s been known to wear a plain neckline or turtleneck, also a collared Oxford shirt or a pussybow blouse. When you’re a public figure or this magnitude, crafting a look is all about balance. It needs to be professional, but with a touch of personality.
