Clinton vs Trump: The battle is also played on the candidates look<

Like all women in politics, Hillary Clinton is scrutinized and her wardrobe dissected almost as much as her speech.What does it wear, what a brand, what color, why pants?Admittedly Donald Trump is constantly mocked for his hairstyle, but no one wonders where he bought his costumes - invariably navy blue - or how much he paid them.Barely glossed to do on the color of his ties.

In December 2010, already, questioned by a journalist on his favorite brands, Hillary Clinton had answered, an annoyed hair: "Would you ask a man to a man?"

This does not prevent him from surrounding himself with a battery of advisers, including Kristina Shake, who worked for Michelle Obama.She even has the inflexible Anna Wintour among her supporters.The one who makes the rain and sometimes the good weather in fashion is the candidate's consultant.Its role, according to People magazine, is to contact the creators so that they provide parts, even if Hillary Clinton pays the clothes she wears.

> Le juste prix

The Democratic candidate was thus criticized for sporting in June 2016, an Armani jacket in tweed costing at the time 12.000 dollars, during a speech on wage inequalities.Information partially contradicted by the Fact-Checking SNOPES site.com, (on the brand's website, the jacket now costs 5.000 dollars) but which sticks to the skin of Hillary Clinton.

A year earlier, in June 2015, the Democratic candidate then at the very beginning of the campaign, had suffered the same type of criticism, when she had put on a tailor - her favorite - blue Ralph lauren outfit.No problem with blue, completely patriotic, as the New York Times noted, but again, it is the price of clothing that corner.

Even if Hillary Clinton has the means to afford jackets at 12.000 dollars, "for a candidate who insists on her understanding of the middle class and on her link with her […], Ralph Lauren is a relatively inaccessible brand," notes the fashion columnist of the New York Times Vanessa Friedman.

On the other hand, the costume price of his republican opponent, Donald Trump does not make anyone."These costumes often cost between 5.000 and 10.000 dollars.But because it is the uniform in male fashion, in particular in politics, the price is neglected, "explains Rebecca Klein, fashion consultant, questioned by CNBC."Whatever she does, she will be attacked," notes Jennifer Rade, stylist of stars."If Clinton wore cheaper clothes, he would be accused of not having the same scale as his competitors".

> Made in USA

The choice is all the more difficult since it is also necessary to favor American brands.A Ralph Lauren tailor at 2.$ 500 may be a bit expensive for the middle class, but it has the merit of being American.Because when one is candidate for the presidential election, or even first lady like Michelle Obama, the choice of designer matters as much as the model.Buying American is therefore a significant brand of patriotism.

Again, Trump's Italian costumes do not shock anyone.The candidate says it appreciates the brand Brioni (today in the Kering bag, the group of François Pinault) and having a weakness for the Hermès ties, according to Buzzfeed.

> La forme

Like Angela Merkel, Hillary Clinton has changed little in her dress style through the ages of her political life.She is subscribed to the tailor-Pantalon, preferably with a long and flared jacket.

A choice not totally harmless, when you know that women are not allowed to wear pants in the Senate's grounds only since 1993, as the Washington Post recalls, on the initiative of Senator Barbara Mikulski.

Regarding Donald Trump, the time argues that the candidate dresses like a reagan era magnate.Which sticks fairly well with the character.

> La couleur

It is dressed in an immaculate white tailor, not easy to wear on spaghetti-bolognese days at the canteen, that Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic inauguration last July.A color symbol of purity, but also, as the Hollywood Reporter points out, "which suggests a new start and refers to the not so distant past where the suffrages wore white to promote their struggle to obtain the right to vote".

And if we were able to see her carry a little ungrateful shades - the famous Armani jacket was of an infamous pink - Hillary Clinton adopted bright colors, probably on the advice of her armada of consultants.Blue, which she particularly likes, but also purple, red, green, and even yellow.

The yellow jacket at Col Mao, which she wore in February 2016, during a debate against Bernie Sanders, also much more passionate - and above all amused - Internet users than her speech.

At Donald Trump, only the color of the tie varies.The costumes oscillate between black, navy blue and gray.The shirts are always white.And we have seen it mainly with red ties (the color of republicans) and sometimes with blue.More rarely with yellow ties, or roses.When he opts for a reason, it is generally scratch.He is often mocked for the length of his ties.
