In true Befitting Style fashion, it’s only right that we discuss Madame Vice President Kamala Harris’ style and what I’d love to see as we progress in this presidential election. The presidential candidate dresses like the average politician but how do we take it from average to extraordinary? It’s not every day that we get a woman of color as a presidential candidate in America. Of course, Harris’ style is not as important as the policies that she proposes but why not look exceptional while running this presidential race? Policies matter but stage presence also matters and a part of stage presence is what you wear. I’ve put together 10 elevated looks for the democratic nominee’s presidential race.

Place a pink button-down shirt underneath the blazer and show that you’re having a brat summer as you strut through a room filled with creatives in leather Mary Jane white heels. Accessorize with a gold chain featuring a pearl pendant and pearl earrings.
