The Democratic Women's Working Group has rallied women of both parties to dress in white—in a nod to the suffrage movement as well as to represent the goals of the new congressmen and women who just began their terms in office. The selection (and its significance) will be familiar to those who obsessed over the white pantsuit Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore (and paired with gold hoops) and the Ralph Lauren outfit Hillary Clinton wore to Trump's inauguration.
Florida Representative Lois Frankel, who chairs the group, described what the white ensembles will represent. "It's about sending a positive message, that Democrats are fighting for the people, by promoting economic security for women and families," Frankel tells Glamour. "We’re talking about paycheck fairness, combating s*xual harassment, family-friendly workplaces, and getting more resources for affordable child care. These are the kinds of issues that will raise the wages of women and help make our families more secure."
