A former Harvard law professor, Elizabeth Warren has described herself as a “data nerd,” and her wardrobe reflects this obsessive kind of calculation
Photo: Getty Images Watching Elizabeth Warren during the first Democratic debate last night was incredibly satisfying. I mean that in the most surface-level way: Her outfit was a source of visual pleasure.
Compared with the nine other candidates onstage, some of whom I’d admittedly never laid eyes on before, Warren looked as if she knew exactly what her deal was and could tell you in about three straightforward sentences. She wore her usual uniform of loose black pants, a black top, and a jewel-tone jacket with a popped collar and cuffed sleeves, presumably by her go-to designer, Nina McLemore, who dresses many powerful women in Washington.

By comparison, Warren seemed more natural; you could tell she wasn’t playing dress-up. The other female candidates onstage — Tulsi Gabbard in a sharp buttoned blazer and Amy Klobuchar in a skirt suit — embraced a traditional, more formal uniform.
Warren’s campaign mantra has been that she has a “plan for everything.” A former Harvard law professor, she has described herself as a “data nerd,” and her wardrobe reflects this obsessive kind of calculation. In a way, it reminds me of Elizabeth Holmes, who consistently wore black pants and a black turtleneck not only to trick Silicon Valley into thinking she was Steve Jobs but also to streamline and maximize every minute of her busy day.
Warren may not be the most stylish person in the room, but she’s clearly a nerd about her wardrobe and has found an equation that works for her. That, I can respect.
