The Underrated Accessory Jill Biden Always Wears As First Lady
Royals love this item too.
For those who pay attention to Dr. Jill Biden’s First Lady style, you’ll notice she is decidedly patriotic in her fashion choices. The style is subtle (it’s not like she’s wearing red, white, and blue every single day) in that many of her looks feature garments from both emerging and established American fashion houses. There was her blue Inauguration Day Markarian ensemble, which was custom-made by New York City-based designer Alexandra O’Neill. There’s her affinity for American luxury shoe label Stuart Weitzman and her preference for smart workwear pieces from Veronica Beard, also a New York-based fashion brand. While the First Lady has been in office for just over three months, she has already shown the American fashion industry a great deal of support.
A big fan of the elegant, tailored look, Dr. Biden likes to stick to her favorite, tried-and-true pieces when it comes to certain items like her shoes and accessories. She often sports Jimmy Choo’s Love pumps (she wore these on Inauguration Day), carries Tyler Ellis clutches, and wears timeless pearl jewelry. While usually conservative when it comes to cuts and silhouettes, she sometimes likes to throw the public a curveball by wearing unexpected colors or a slightly edgier piece — one of her recent looks even involved a moto-style nylon jacket. All this is just the tip of the iceberg though when it comes to discussing Dr. Biden’s First Lady style though.
