...How many pantsuits does Hillary Clinton have in her closet? And does she ever wear them in the same combination more than once? The pantsuit is Clinton's uniform. Hers is a mix-and-match world, a grown-up land of Garanimals: black pants with gray jacket, tan jacket with black pants...There are a host of reasons to explain Clinton's attachment to pantsuits. They are comfortable. They can be flattering, although not when the jacket hem aligns with the widest part of the hips (hypothetically speaking, of course). Does she even have hips?...
Women have come a long way from the time when wearing a pair of pants was considered "borrowing from the boys." So it would be highly regressive to suggest that the candidate is using trousers to heighten the perception that she can be as tough as a man. And yet . . .
This is a campaign in which gender stereotypes are being challenged even as the old assumptions are proving stubborn and resilient....
With the male candidates, the nuances of their attire matters: the fit of the suit collar, the color of the tie. But with Clinton, one must first get past distractions such as that pink blazer -- the one John Edwards didn't like so much -- before the details can be considered.
What would possess a woman to wear a jacket the color of a geranium in full bloom and then imply she doesn't want anyone to notice or comment on her clothes? Yes, a woman can still be taken seriously, viewed as tough and celebrated for her ideas even if she is wearing a sunshine yellow suit. But someone, somewhere, is also going to notice that she is dressed like a solar flare. Clinton is too smart not to know that....

Cropped jacket???? You are joking!! Hillary obviously has someone making her clothes because the JAckets are exactly the same....and they are FLATTERING because they hit below her wide hips, come in at the waist exactly right....they really are perfectly made for her shape. Her clothes are nice, she isn’t!
Good Lord....why would Hillary be caught in jeans and a SWEATSHIRT??
Snorty snort of the day. “My eyes!...My Eyes!...”
Hello Inspectorette....
I like Hill’s haircut and she does have a fairly nice face although I guess she had work done.
As for having a wide butt and short legs...well don’t we all? I don’t know a woman on the planet who doesn’t think her butt is too big although my memories are filled with men who adored my own fine fat-bottomed butt. Heh.
Anyway....there’s ways to disguise a wide butt and the legs, well like I said, the only thing to disguise those ankles are pants. Pants or a very long skirt.
Those ankles are a real problem. I almost feel sorry for the woman. I had a music teacher with ankles like that and I spent many a music class wondering how on earth such a thing could happen.
I wonder if Chelsea’s got those ankles.
Dear Lord....
Come on...who in the hell dressed this woman in this thing?
She could do way better than this. Again, she’s not built that bad. Surely....
I’d have her looking great in no time.
As to changing her wretched personality and idealology....I don’t have a clue.
That’s the Ticket!
A below-the-knee skirt with a nice suede pair of boots.
She’d look great.
Top the skirt and boot combination with a nice sweater worn with a simple necklace...damn.
Anything but those pantsuits.
Aw come on. Hillary’s over 60 years old. She looks like a 60 year old woman.
Fred Thompson...hey is his a beautiful face?
Generally her face and hair look okay.
Or, but of course, ReaganFanatic is so beautiful that the sun must blink in his or her presence.
I think she could handle a cropped jacket.
;)
The reason is simple. She doesn’t have the legs to wear dresses.
Bow Wow!...that’s some dog show in the front row!
She's the answer to, "What brown can't do for you." 
Her knockers are not even....Is that why she leans left?
NOOOOOOO.
You know, you can wear a long blouse under a cropped jacket that flares slightly away from the body.
Yeah. Although hey,if you insist...the top can skim past her hips.
Just so long as we do away with the pantsuits. They’re hideous.
