I was initially surprised when I read th...For sure. I was initially surprised when I read the costume designer's comments because I certainly noticed Claire's style when watching the TV show (and I feel like a lot of people online point to her style as an inspiration). Once I started searching for screenshots to include in my post, I thought I might see what the costume designer was talking about. She looks fantastic because of how well everything fits. When I zero in on specific items, however, each is very conservative: mostly plain cotton button-downs with her suits (though not in the picture I included) and sheath dresses. She never seems to pick any color that isn't black, navy, gray, white, or cream. The clothes themselves generally don't have any attention-grabbing details.<br /><br />I can't quite figure out why her clothes seem to stand out so much when compared to what the women politicians on the show are wearing because most of them are dressing for the same business formal dress code!Xin @ Invincible Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06880478894796779040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4597817731016340045.post-50073561530166693732015-03-04T13:33:26.674-05:002015-03-04T13:33:26.674-05:00I love what Claire Underwood wears, but I would no...I love what Claire Underwood wears, but I would not call it "not standing out". Her form fitting dresses would definitely feel out of place in my very male dominated field. But then again, because my field is engineering (public works not software) it could be viewed as impractical even though I spend most my days in front of my computer in my office. Interesting topic. <br /><br />LilahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
