Kamala Harris's Rainy-Day Converse-and-Jeans Outfit Just Went Viral
Even though she had her own presidential run and has a lengthy résumé in public service, Senator Kamala Harris is now garnering the most attention she's ever had in her career. Yes, that means that more people are aware of her political fashion choices—but no, this shouldn't detract from her campaign messages.
While on the campaign trail today, Harris sent a clear message with her laidback outfit: She's staying true to herself despite the increased scrutiny. She flew to Florida, where it was pouring down rain, wearing her ultimate go-to wardrobe staple: Converse Chuck Taylor Sneakers ($50). She frequently wore them during her own presidential run, and now she's remaining loyal to them under a newly bright spotlight.
Harris's Converse sneakers have been sending fans into an excited frenzy recently. Her sister Maya Harris clarifird on Twitte that they "are in fact her go-to [shoes]." Scroll down to see how Harris added some polish to her skinny jeans and sneakers via a sleek blazer.
Pouring rain didn't stop Harris from speaking at a socially-distanced drive-in event.
