How Kamala Harris Is Dressing for the Campaign Trail

After four years, Vice President Kamala Harris is back on the campaign trail. Following President Joe Biden’s departure from the presidential race on July 21 and several key endorsements—including from Biden himself—Harris has taken on the role of presumptive Democratic nominee.

Harris has rolled with the punches with aplomb, folding her campaign events into existing obligations, so it’s no surprise that her style is largely unchanged. But there was no need for a shakeup in the first place. With all the changes this country has faced over the last few years (even the last few weeks!), seeing Harris in her uniform is a comforting sight.

The vice president generally sticks to her tried-and-true classics: a tailored pant suit in neutrals or jewel tones; a pointy-toe pump; and a sharp, strong silhouette, thanks to shoulder pads and a straight-legged or tapered trouser. And while we can always count on Harris to accessorize with an American flag pin on her lapel, she has also worn pearls on the campaign trail, a nod to her sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha, and the “Twenty Pearls” that represent the sisterhood’s founders.

For her first major campaign event since announcing her candidacy, on Tuesday Harris will be joined at her Atlanta rally by Senators Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock, former Georgia state representative Stacey Abrams, Megan Thee Stallion, and Quavo. For the occasion she chose a powder blue suit over a white top, nude pointy-toe pumps, and her signature two-strand Irene Neuwirth pearl necklace.
