Black crepe with a small tortoiseshell print, the pantsuit is among the simplest looks Mrs. Obama has worn in her post-White House life, in which her style on book tours and at big events has been marked by a discernible experimentation and sense of fun: Balenciaga “pantaboots,” Versace safety pins. Not this time. This time, the suit was even simpler than the one she wore at the DNC.

The suit was from Theory, a label that has become a uniform for many working women as they climb the executive ranks, and that has grown into a behemoth. (It is now owned by Fast Retailing, the group that owns Uniqlo; the blazer that Mrs. Obama wore is currently on sale for $256.80). As such, it was less a fashion statement than a statement of solidarity — with the women in the room and with Ms. Harris herself.
Not a fashion guy so maybe my taste is shit, but that looks hideous to me. The pattern is awful. Okay Michelle, you like Metal Gear Solid 3 – I do too! – but we don’t need varied camo patterns for formal clothing.
