If you were to see the host of a party show up in sweat pants, an oversized t-shirt with her bra straps hanging out, and holes in her shoes, what would you think? Even if this person spoke with the eloquence of writer and had swagger of an idol celebrity, she would lose respect instantly for not looking presentable. In a world like ours, looks matter. It is not necessarily a superficial quality, rather one that designers thrive upon. Appearance can stimulate the other senses, which is why the way we look is so important. Style is diverse, everyone is individualistic in style, but looking presentable can be a feat for some. This intrigued me because lately I have seen that for the first time Michelle Obama, a political figure, is being photographed for her style. Her role as the first lady undoubtedly gives her big shoes or, shall I say, heels to fill. With grace, she has managed to do her job fashionably. Every photograph, Obama is always dressed for the weather, with somber colors and a tasteful amount of jewelry. This attracts young and aspiring fashionistas who hope to uses their clothing designs to empower women. A dress with a simple A-line can represent so much power just by the confidence good clothing can express, and how respectful looking good can be. Clothes for Michelle Obama have translated into smart yet still lady-like, the most recognized quality in a first lady.
