Fashion Speaks for Women in Politics

Since women get too much judgement on what they wear, they use this excess attention to do something

Fashion speaks for politics, especially for women. It is how we present ourselves to the others, therefore it tells a lot about us: what we want ourselves to be and how we want people to think about us. Nowadays, massive media dominate people’s life, and therefore, politicians carefully set their images when they come in front of people. For female politicians, it seems to be unfair that people pay a lot more attention on what they wear than those male politicians. However, some female politicians and activists often use fashion as a tool to speak for political campaigns, and fight back to the gender discrimination. They not only use fashion statements to announce their political position, but also use fashion trends to help them pursue their goals.
