Please, Hillary, you don't ALWAYS have to wear a pants suit!

[MoonRiver]

When its extremely hot and humid outside, you are absolutely allowed to wear a short sleeve and skirt. You are gorgeous and will look fabulous no matter what you wear!

[DURHAM D]

1. Have you ever stopped to consider that

she is also wearing some type of protective vest.

[MoonRiver]

2. That would make the heat situation even worse.

I hope she changes her wardrobe to account for these situations.

[DURHAM D]

3. She has to wear a pant suit when

she is out in a not well controlled crowd.

[MoonRiver]

4. Why?

[DURHAM D]

7. Upskirt photo takers and

everyone trying to get a picture of her getting in or out of a car and showing some leg.

Are you a guy?

[MoonRiver]

10. No, I am NOT a guy, thank you very much.

There are also shorter pants and skorts she could wear. Main thing is she should not dress so heavily when in a hot and humid environment. It is a total no-brainer.

[DURHAM D]

14. Like capri length?

Capris are NOT flattering on anyone. Unfortunately, millions of people don't seem to know that.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

23. Well, millions of women in the south

live in them.

When you are middle-aged and don't feel comfortable going out in shorts, capris are still a lot cooler than trousers.

And when it's 98 degrees outside with 75% humidity, many younger women find capris to be a better choice, as well.

I do agree that capris are not appropriate for Hillary on the campaign trail.

[MoonRiver]

24. Not about pants, but I have short sleeve (elbow length) pants suit tops.

That would probably help.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

25. Yes.

Short-sleeved suits can look Barbie-ish on some figure types, but I don't think that would be a problem for Hillary.

[DURHAM D]

29. She has stated that one of the reasons she wears

long sleeves is that people are always grabbing her arms leaving her bruised and long sleeves provide a little protection from that. Some of her suits have an extra layer of material in the sleeves, I forget what it is called, that makes them a little stiff but adds to the protection factor.

[GoCubsGo]

38. And, considering the event,

some might think short sleeves to be "too casual", and therefore inappropriate. And, besides, what is it to anyone what the hell she wears? Nobody every nitpicks what the male candidates and politicians wear.

[DURHAM D]

44. Amen

[trueblue2007]

48. capris are not flattering on gals "our age" ..... you are right Durham!!!

anyone who says hillary should wear capris needs to have their head examined. capris are for the skinny gals.

[DonRedwood]

55. Fox News will spend a week discussing her legs

[question everything]

41. Floor length skirt

made of light but opaque material.

[DURHAM D]

43. lol and she would immediately be

labeled a Hippie

[yurbud]

50. that would be more popular than the Margaret Thatcher and Golda Mier ones.

[GWC58]

56. Not really

The heat/humidity is, almost outta here. Besides the pantsuit is part of Hillary's persona.😏😘

[mopinko]

13. yup.

[Mika]

5. 39% humidity in NYC this morn. IMO, that isn' high.

Then again, I live in S Florida. Today it's 90% humidity, but cooler b/c of cloud cover.

[MoonRiver]

6. Depends on what one is used to. Also, clothing makes a big difference.

[Me.]

17. It Was Higher This Morning

Very humid at farmer's market, at 9am

[BumRushDaShow]

20. It wasn't like that earlier this morning

A cold front came through Philly around 9ish and most likely reached NYC an hour or so later.

[mcar]

22. Wrong

Please check your information.

[bmstee01]

8. Humor is GOOD

I think she should go on Kimmel and joke about her pantsuit.
Or just say it was an hot day and it was a very emotional ceremony.
It's important that she's honest.

[Mika]

12. So you personally know what happened? eom

[Maru Kitteh]

57. I am very concerned about people who are invested in the idea that

a bit of heat exhaustion is something more.

[Mika]

59. And, as it turns out, it is something more.

She needs rest and lots of fluids for a while.

[JHan]

54. AGreed

This is the best idea in like forever.

I like it- she should be breezy about it,

[CBHagman]

9. Oh, yeah, let's all tell women how to dress!

Especially the most powerful woman in the world. Yeah, right.

[DURHAM D]

19. Thank you. Clearly some people have no

idea what all goes into decisions about what WOMEN wear while campaigning.

[Avalux]

11. She does if she's wearing kevlar. I'm sure she was at this event. n/t

[DURHAM D]

15. Thank you.

This is just not that hard but some can't seem to get it.

[BlueStreak]

16. I think this is what she is covering up

[duncang]

18. That body armor she is wearing is hot

In another post I talked about the light weight kevlar I wore. My kevlar set felt good when it was around 50 f. Hers is a whole lot thicker. Also when we were using it we could wear it for a short time then take it off. She doesn't have that option.

[zenabby]

21. sigh!

We never tire of telling her what she should have done, what she should have worn, blah blah.

[MoonRiver]

26. I have never told her anything, but this is a very simple solution to overheating. SIGH.

[zenabby]

30. Would you suggest men wear shorts?

[MoonRiver]

31. Yes, why not?

[dreamer67]

27. President kaine or Clinton, both better than trump

[Frank Cannon]

28. The woman is covered neck to ankle in Kevlar.

Yeah, that's right. Just another blessing to us from the gun humping crazies running amuck in this great country of ours.

[Fla Dem]

33. Good point, which many and I include myself didn't even consider. nt

[tandem5]

53. Kevlar is very in this season.

Too bad it doesn't breathe well.

[skylucy]

32. OK---I was trying to decide whether to start an "undergarment" thread but

I chickened out! Glad I can just add something to this thread. First of all,for a long time I have been thinking that those pantsuits look hot. More importantly, I have always believed that many women's undergarments can double as torture devices. Panty hose, girdles (yes, they do still make them although they should be outlawed), nylon knee-high stockings (lets cut the blood supply off at your calves), those one piece combo bra/girdle contraptions (some of which bind you in from breasts all the way down to your knees or even to your ankles), industrial-strength spandex and nylon (the worse possible materials to wear in hot weather). And what do men wear under their clothes? Cotton boxers or briefs. Cotton socks. I think this is a good opportunity for Hillary to switch up her wardrobe to short/cap sleeves, take off her jacket if she feels like it, and just DARE the press to say anything about it. As for nylon/spandex undergarments that bind women and are not healthy in hot weather...It's time women are liberated from those! If it offends people to see a mature woman jiggle little...tough. I've seen that picture of Trump's backside as he reaches for a golf ball. The news media doesn't seem concerned about the size or consistency of his ass. :donkey

[Fla Dem]

34. Amen. Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, except backwards and in high heels. nt

[senseandsensibility]

35. All good points, but apparently she has to wear some type

of bulletproof garment under her clothes. So I don't think the undergarments are the problem.

[MoonRiver]

36. Lol, the only one of those I still wear is knee highs, but only in the winter.

In the summer, I'm sandals all day, every day!

[skylucy]

39. You are more of a trooper than me! I wear my husbands socks in the winter.

I wear my sandals all the rest of the time too! It never gets that cold here in California anyway.

[3catwoman3]

49. The big ass...

...has a big ass.

[spiderpig]

37. Can you imagine what the lamestream media would do if HRC showed up in a skirt?

We'd hear endless criticism of her chunky legs, and how Melania would look much better in a bathing suit.

I'm a little younger than HRC, not vain, and I don't want to parade my non-perfect gams in public. Let alone, sitting on stages (on barstools, if it's NBC) in a skirt and trying to keep my thoughts collected on major issues, plus remembering to keep my knees together.

[MoonRiver]

40. Some of my skirts go to my ankles, so they don't necessarily show one's legs.

I like pants much better than skirts, but when I'm hot I go shorter and/or looser.

[spiderpig]

46. Not arguing with you on this, Moon - I do the same thing

(Thank you Vermont Country Store, and Hawaii, home of the muumuu)

Still, HRC in a long skirt would be attacked as a Birkenstock-wearing Bohemian. What a farce in view of Trumpty Dumpty's ridiculous appearance. (Where are his suits made, anyway?)

This campaign should be about issues, but we all know reality bites. Everything is Bright Shiny Objects, as Putin observed. (Does he ever know how to manipulate. Is there anything that gives us more insight into Trump's shallowness than to see how he became Putin's puppet?)

[MoonRiver]

51. Yes I am so sick of all this blatant SEXISM!

[JTFrog]

45. A couple days ago models at a New York fashion show were fainting while wearing almost nothing.

Shit happens.

[pnwmom]

47. When do male candidates not wear long pants? Yes, she could wear a skirt, but then she'd

have to deal with stockings. I'd prefer pants myself.

[LAS14]

52. Oh, for crying out loud! Let's blame Hillary for EVERYTHING! nt

[qwlauren35]

58. It's more a matter of material than style.

There are some materials that are more breathable than others, and her dresser may have made a poor choice for the day. I've heard cotton is super comfortable if you can get it pressed. Same with silk.

I agree that pantsuits are her persona.
