Hillary Clinton Wardrobe Repeat: 'Chanel' Jackets Abound! (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post

Hillary Clinton has always struck us a low-key, unflashy dresser. So when she stepped out in January in back-to-back Chanel-y jackets, our fashion senses perked to attention. How chic! How ladylike! How designer! (Although to be fair, we have no idea if they're by Chanel. They're just channeling the French brand hardcore.)

It turns out that Hillary's Chanel phase wasn't a phase; rather the jackets have worked their way into a regular rotation. Over the course of the past three days, the Secretary of State has re-worn both the turquoise jacket and the high-collared white jacket just two days apart and with nearly the exact same hairstyles as in January.

She also, we noticed, did the same thing in February: on February 4 she wore the white jacket, followed by the turquoise one on February 5.

We're digging Hillary's new fashion motto: If it ain't broke, wear it every four weeks on back-to-back days. A girl after our own heart.

Check out Secretary Clinton's favorite jackets. Is the elegant style fit a good fit for Clinton?

Hillary,,,I want to be as kind as possible because you are such a gracious lady...I believe that with your hair short you looked so much younger. This longer hair on you is not attractive..if you were my best friend, I would tell you that only because I truly tell the truth!! I would want my friend to tell me the same!! As for your clothes, you always look nice. Just my 2 cents!

It is not only that- but society's idiotic obsession with expensive name brands, and how many times wealthy people wear the same thing more than once, but think about it..... this proves what a dedicated, down to earth, respectable person Mrs Clinton is... Someone who could be wearing all the "designer names"..... and a different one everyday but she does not. Why would she.. that kind of behavior is for socially inept people who use money to fill a void. I think I remember Mrs Palin using campaign money for her fancy outfits, hairdressers, and makeup.... and we know what kind of moronic media wh*r* she is.

There's so much to what a Secretary of State is called upon to do - it's good to see HuffPo concentrating on the truly substantive part of her portfolio!

I couldn't imagine wearing something I really like only once or twice. I wear my favorite clothes to death!! The clothes death, not mine.

She should fire her hairdresser!! Seems she can't find a style that suits her.

Since when is it a crime to use the same outfit more than once? How many times to the males use the same suit and it isn't reported. This is NOT news! This BS journalism at its worst.

Would we be so interested if it was a male Sec of State who wore the same navy blue suit? Are we so shallow that we are concerned about what our top diplomatic leaders are wearing? What a piece of crap journalism and typical of HuffPost!

Why are you people so fixated on whether a public figure wears a particular outfit more than once? Earlier today I read a similar comment regarding Mrs. Cameron, wife of UK Prime Minister, regarding a black belt and some shoes you say she wore more than once! This is ridiculous! Please, who cares? Is it a crime? Please concentrate on writing about topics more worthy of interest!

Tell me you've never worn the same thing twice. What gave you the idea that this is newsworthy? With all that's going on in the world. Sounds like there's one too many people working at Huffpost.

Hill is always welcome, whatever the attire.

Quite a difference from how she looked when she ran for President.
That job would age anyone...
