    I don't think I've ever seen a woman wear a pantsuit outside of politics. Formal wear tends towards a few modest styles of dresses, but almost never pantsuits.

    Why is this? Do women in politics wear them more frequently to mimic men's suit aesthetic and its subconscious association with power?

      I used to wear pantsuits, now I just wear suits, but it's cause I'm a huge removed

      What the fuck that's censored now? Jesus. I should be able to call myself slurs if I want.

        Uncritical support for reclaiming either the suit or pantsuit aesthetic from capitalists and their bourgeois politicians

      You do occasionally see them in upper corporate stuff in more conservative industries, but most women prefer a skirt suit or a business dress, for comfort (non custom-tailored pantsuits are uncomfortable and look crap), aesthetic, and socialisation reasons.

      I've never seen them in real life. And I befriended organised conservative nerds in university.
