Steal the look: Bernie Sanders at the inauguration

Translation: Jessica Johnson-Ferguson

Joe Biden has been sworn in as the new president of the USA. The ceremonial inauguration included Lady Gaga singing and Donald Trump not showing up. But in terms of fashion, it was former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders who outshined everyone.

An attitude that’s reflected in his attire. Sanders doesn’t wear expensive clothes, tailormade suits and is rarely seen in a tie. When he campaigned for the Democratic primaries, he asked his supporters for money. Being the foe of the economic system that he is, there’s no way he could bank on the money of large companies. His repeated call for donations turned into a meme.

So back to the inauguration of Joe Biden – his biggest opponent in the primaries. Take a look at the jacket Bernie was wearing as he was sitting in his chair in a huff!

Feel inspired to fashionably go off and join the class war?

Steal the look

Not quite Bernie’s jacket, but Burton suggested this model as the original is sold out.

His suit pants gave Sanders a touch of class without making him look arrogant. Combine them with a plain shirt for another great look.

And finally, his pièce de résistance, the mittens. Unfortunately, they’re not for sale and you’ll just have to make them from leftover fabric yourself. My suggestion: get one of the following jumpers and wear them out over the next few years. By the time the next president is sworn in, your jumpers will be pretty much destroyed and ready to be turned into mittens.

When it comes to fashion, one thing is clear: Bernie 2021!

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
