FULL TITLE: The right to (not) bare arms: How Melania Trump has used SLEEVES to set herself apart from her first lady predecessor, Michelle Obama
Melania Trump's husband may be a vocal proponent of the second amendment, but the first lady doesn't seem to care much about baring arms. Her arms, that is.
Since Donald Trump took office in fact, since the 2016 campaign the 48-year-old's fashion choices have featured one particularly striking difference from those of her predecessor.
Unlike Michelle Obama, who frequently chose sleeveless dresses and tops that flaunted her famously toned arms, Melania appears to be partial to outfits with sleeves that that keep her arms and shoulders under wraps.

Ive got a friend that bought a black colored Dodge 3500 dooley back in 2010. He referred to it as “Michelle”. I asked him why. He said because it was black and had a wide rear end. Had to admit it was appropriately named.
I have to agree that Michelle does have toned arms. I will grant that to her. Toned arms at her age are only achieved through effort. But I really dont understand why women want to have their arms constantly bare, especially in the cooler months, or even in the warmer months when the air conditioning can be too low. They have got to be cold.
I don’t believe in judging based on appearances, but when the MSM started gushing about what a perfect specimen Michelle Obama was I thought “well, I guess maybe I was wrong.”
Okay, seriously...the press is now comparing Melania Trump to Michelle Obama.
Be quiet, they’re on a roll....
I read this article with my mouth open. They are trying so very hard to hide their disdain for the beautiful Melania and prop up the irritating Michelle. For years we’ve been living in the Emperor has no clothes world where we have been told, repeatedly, how beautiful and fashion forward Michelle Obama is. She had her moments, but for the most part she looked awful. And that’s not a lie. There was always one big problem for the press.. WE HAVE EYEBALLS. Now, we LITERALLY have a model in the White House who is impeccable with her appearance and fashion and they will not give it to her. I had the honor of being at the Convention in Cleveland. When she took the stage, she took our breath away. AND I’M A WOMAN!
Michelle looked like a pig. But, she was also a man as has been repeatedly proven.
I believe the Wookie is a man. Which begs the question, who are the parents of Malaria and Sharia?
The fact is that Melania KNOWS which style is most flattering. On most women sleeves are much more feminine than bare arms.
Melania certainly does not have to COMPETE with Mrs. Hussein in any way, especially regarding fashion.
Ive noticed how often Melania wears belted suits and dresses and have often wondered if it was deliberate. It could just be that the style happens to be flattering on her.
“Ive noticed how often Melania wears belted suits and dresses and have often wondered if it was deliberate.”
I’ve noticed that Mrs. Trump does not wear a damn boob belt!
Michelle was TRYING to pull off the belted waist look, but she had no waist and ended up with a boob belt.
Sleeveless is way too casual for many of the ceremonies a FLOTUS has to attend.
Melania is showing her respect by dressing correctly.
LOL
I seriously doubt that Melania’s fashion choices are made with any consideration at all for those of her predecessor.
That’s a man, Baby.
Toned arms or not, Michelle would have looked better with sleeves - even cap sleeves. Most of the sleeveless dresses makes her hips look wider than they are. Having sleeves makes the shoulders look wider to balance out the bottom half.
