clothing that would travel well. As one who has long had to worry about it, she gets kudos from me. The black pants and under top paired with a variety of wrinkle-free sweaters or jackets is terrific.

Yes, that they are fixating on this for the women candidates is depressing.

Still, Warren gets thumbsup from me, whether that was their intent or not!

criticism of their sexist coverage of the 2016 campaign, and are determined to continue to be sexist in this one.

from NYT.

And I am a subscriber who appreciates many of the articles they have published, including some on workplace sexism. Their blinders re women in politics are appalling.

will no doubt eventually (or already has) publish an article recommending exactly what Sen Warren is wearing for the smart professional woman’s traveling wardrobe. Fuck these people.

Wearing a work "uniform" has been de rigeur for professional men for years, i.e., the suit and tie. Steve Jobs and others invented their own uniforms and more women are now doing the same.

Warren is right with the times in eliminating the unneeded daily hassle and distraction of "what should I wear today." Those who criticize her for her simple and effective wardrobe are idiots. She's doing the same very smart thing many other professional women are doing, which allows them to focus on what's important, not what they should wear.

Here's a very good article on the subject:
