When people think about MAGA aesthetics, beauty often comes up first ― from the oft-criticized conservative girl makeup to the so-called Mar-a-Lago Face trend in cosmetic surgery. But style watchers say politics can also show up clearly in clothing.
When I look at fashion today, clothes become a kind of visual language, Edith Chan, a celebrity stylist and image consultant, told HuffPost. It communicates values, identity and sometimes politics without a single word being spoken.
On one end of the spectrum are overt markers like MAGA hats, campaign T-shirts and slogan-heavy merch. Loud garments drenched in red, white and blue also carry a strong association with conservative politics in the modern age.
But what I find more interesting are the subtle signals, the ones that arent political on their own, but start to feel coded in certain contexts, Chan said.

(26,922 posts)I can count on one hand the number of times since Ive worn a dress or skirt. Last time was at a family wedding back in 2021!
But for the first 12 years of my school days I had to wear a uniform with a skirt everyday!
