A composite photo of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump
Former President Donald Trump has often attacked his female opponents in ways that come back to bite him.
  • When Harris became the likely Democratic nominee, gender became a more central part of the race.
  • Experts said that Harris' clothing balances how to be "feminine, but not too feminine."
  • Trump knows the importance of visual communication and folds his ideology into his "loud" styling.

If Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump ever stand next to one another on the debate stage, viewers watching from their living rooms will notice — even if subconsciously — what the two candidates are wearing.
