It has become known as the Hillary Clinton Armani jacket. But before April this year, when the United States’ Democratic Party presumptive-nominee, Hillary Clinton wore a $12,495 jacket to an event on income inequality, it was just another expensive tweed jacket from the high-end catalogue of Giorgio Armani.
And now this former Secretary of State and First Lady is catching the flak for that wardrobe choice. Many political pundits were of the opinion that the jacket was not “appropriate” for the event, and that it made her look elitist.
