During the 2008 Presidential elections in United States, one of the criticisms Hilary Clinton received from the media was that, she was too extravagant with her pant suits. The media once asked her why she preferred pants suits to skirts when the number of yards of cloth used in making her pant suits could be used to make many more skirt suits. Hilary did not listen to that criticism because she never “gave a hoot” to the criticism, she goes ahead wearing her nice and well fitting pant suits. Pant suit was Hilary’s way of asserting herself in her male dominated political realm.
She uses her pant suit to reveal her personality. She wears her pant suits to indicate that she is capable of not only with standing her aggressive and domineering male counterparts, but that she can also match their aggression. She made these facts very clear during her testimony to the Congress on the Benghazi uproar that claimed the life of one US Ambassador and four other Americans.
