By Gabriel Bell

Oh Hilldog, you may have lost the nomination and the will of the people, but last night you won back a little chunk of our hearts with your shoutout to your, "Sisterhood of the traveling pantsuits." So perhaps some of the political style arbiters have suggested a change in your uniform, but for you, other female political powerhouses, and your dedicated followers, the pantsuit is a calling card that stretches across the aisles connecting Nancy Pelosi to Elizabeth Dole. Nonetheless, the old jacket and matching slacks could use a refresh—no more jewel tones, baggy cuts, or overstuffed shoulders for you, Senator Clinton. How about a slick look from Lanvin or perhaps mixing it up at the Capitol with an unconventional piece from Ohne Titel? Whatever you choose, we suggest you grab one of these trim numbers for aspiring powerbrokers GOP and DNC alike. It can only help your poll numbers.
