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.
Perfection.

We’ve reached our first learning moment here at Capitol Hill Fashion. Mary Gay Scanlon has a powerful lesson for us…. If you find shoes you like, that fit you great and don’t hurt your feet, BUY THEM IN EVERY COLOR!

Scanlon, who represents the people of Pennsylvania’s 5th district, showed up to work on Capitol Hill yesterday in two different color shoes. Rep Scanlon, we’ve all been there. Kudos to you for your advanced fashionista moment. Blue and black are good shoe colors to have.

Go back and get the red ones too. You deserve them.
Admittedly, Capitol Hill Fashion arrived at the Lisa Blunt Rochester fandom late (the Congresswoman from Delaware was elected to the US House of Representatives in 2016). Having the opinion that any arrival at the Blunt Rochester fandom is a good arrival, we share this picture of her leaving the polls in 2016.

Ah yes, winter white. How we LOVE it in a coat! How we NEVER wear it ourselves. Winter white stays white for about 15 minutes with dogs, slush, and kids (amirite?) and therefore is on our list of “NO”s. Sigh. …but look at our girl, Lisa. She looks absolutely amazing in this coat and there is NOT A SPOT OF DIRT ON IT. Like, not a spot. Please marvel. We’ll give you a minute.
For this feat alone, we’d fangirl her. …but wait, there is more!

Blunt Rochester seems to be adopting a signature pose — the slightly outward-angled thumbs up! Coincidence or intentional? Honestly, we don’t care. She looks amazing.
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.

Democrat Lauren Underwood’s green coat has inspired praise, imitation, and even a fan account on twitter. If you haven’t seen it, here you go.
