Are You Wearing A MAGA-Coded Outfit? Here's How To Tell. [View all]

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 aren’t political on their own, but start to feel coded in certain contexts,” Chan said.
