I was watching the news one day this week and a group of Republican Congressmen were gathered at a photo op to lambast the Obama-Democratic administration. Politics as usual? Well, there was one striking difference.
Every one of the lambasting Congressmen was wearing an almost identical gray suit -- but each of them had a strikingly different, bright solid-color tie. The last time I saw such brilliant colors was for the expertly staged "Mission Accomplished" aircraft carrier reception for George W. Bush.
So I asked a fashion-conscious friend of mine if I should attach any significance to the gray-suited, brilliantly-tied Congressman. She opined that the gray suits reflected their collective conservative views, while the bright ties represented an attempt to look hip. I suppose this is a strategy in part due to the new Republican effort to woo younger voters.
Someone needs to tell them it's what they say, not how they dress.
