The Republican National Convention is the party’s party and like any other festivity, attendees have faced a crucial question: what to wear.
Sartorial choices took on extra significance this year after former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt over the weekend, leading to an especially celebratory, if high-stakes, atmosphere in Milwaukee.
If the speeches were predictable, the clothes were not. From high fashion to streetwear, the outfits convention-goers chose conveyed clear messages about the state of the party and its key players. After all, fashion can say a lot about how people want to be seen; even Ohio senator J.D. Vance subtly changed his style ahead of his selection as Trump’s running mate.
