What Is She Wearing? Fashion Laws Of Politics

Participants in this year's Fashion Week, now under way in New York, have to share a bit of the spotlight with a smaller group of trendsetters being closely judged for their own sense of style: women in the political forefront. In a presidential election season, Americans are not only scrutinizing the candidates for their positions on such issues as the economy. There are also strong opinions forming, among voters and in the blogosphere, about the sense of fashion embraced by the candidates' wives, Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain. We've always looked at what first ladies-to-be, or first ladies wear pearls,and stay away from the "bling." Flashy clothes and accessories could be seen as pretentious, potentially blinding voters from embracing their message. It's just part of the game.
