Hillary Clinton, unlikely style icon? The 2-time presidential candidate might be the definition of a power dresser, projecting style and stability alike in her considered wardrobe choices

It’s well known that former first lady and two-time Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton favours statement jewellery and well-cut separates. Over the years, Bill Clinton’s other half has been seen wearing her signature jacket and trousers combo in an array of textures and classic hues – and there’s more thought going into that look than you might immediately think.

A classic example: at the premiere of documentary film Hillary at the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival, Clinton donned one of her most stylish looks to date – a polished tweed coat with a pair of black trousers and boots. Here’s how you can recreate a similar look this winter.
