Arriving on Aug. 2, US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi shone out from the darkness in a pink pantsuit. Pelosi is famous for bringing her fashion A-game in punchy blazers and suits. Having a penchant for pops of color, the speaker often takes things a step further by coordinating her outfits from head to toe. Here are a few tips for building a chic wardrobe like Pelosi:
Matching shoes to your outfit: Pelosi’s outfit tells us there are three guidelines for choosing the right shoes. You can either match your shoe color with your outfit, your tops underneath or simply choose white shoes since they go with everything.
Coordinate accessory colors to your outfit: Pelosi is meticulous in this respect, to the extent that even her Apple Watch band matches her outfit color.

Penchant for thick necklaces: On many occasions, Pelosi is spotted with a strand of pearls or jewels on her neck. The principle is the same as the color-coordinating guideline for accessories.
Harper’s BAZAAR magazine in 2019 ran a feature article about Pelosi’s power wardrobe. The article pointed out that as a capable, professional female politician, Pelosi is savvy at using fashion as one of the tools in her kit to stand out in a male-dominated political arena.

配件不忘呼應顏色：裴洛西甚至細緻到連手上Apple Watch的錶帶顏色都有呼應服裝。
專愛大分量項鍊：裴洛西在許多不同場合中都可見她戴上大型的珍珠或寶石串珠項鍊，搭配原則與配件相同。
二○一九年時尚雜誌《BAZAAR》就曾報導過裴洛西的色彩穿衣哲學，文中指出像裴洛西這樣有能力地位的女性政治家，懂得利用時尚品味作為工具，讓自己在男性為主要競技場的政治世界中脫穎而出。
