Nancy Pelosi's Coat

March 17, 2019

We here at Capitol Hill Fashion could have an entire sister website dedicated solely to Nancy Pelosi. She’s a fashion icon in DC and has been shaking things up for years.

While we have mad appreciation for all her sartorial choices, none commands more respect than her scarlet Max Mara coat. We think of it as the big sister to Lauren Underhill’s green coat. It is The Coat That Set The Internet On Fire (official title) after her meeting with Donald Trump in December 2018. You know the one.

This coat, known as the “Fire Coat” launched a thousand memes…

…and inspired a thousand fan art renderings.

CHF is happy to inform you that the wool and cashmere coat is back in stock at Max Mara and could be yours. If you want to buy one for us too (hint hint), leave a comment!

Gil Cisneros in Jeans

March 17, 2019

Gil Cisneros showed up to an interfaith vigil looking very dapper.

We love the no-tie, jacket, and jeans look. Most congressmen wear khakis with their sport coats but we like a man in denim. We also like a congressman who goes back to his home district and grieves with his people for a community on the other side of the world that was shattered by hate and gun violence.

Nicely done all around, Rep Cisneros.

Katie Hill's Necklace

March 13, 2019

Katie Hill, Democrat from California, has been rocking a gorgeous necklace lately. It’s the perfect length to show up under a coat/blazer.

She tweeted the above photo after the 116th Congress passed HR 1, legislation designed to get money out of politics, clean up government corruption, and make voting easier. Three things that we at Capitol Hill Fashion can really get behind!

The necklace also made an appearance that same day with Lauren Underwood’s green coat. The necklace and coat are probably good friends by now.
