Cindy McCain's Signature Style

Cindy McCain's signature style is reflected in this gray suit accented with a single strand of pearls--it's refined and conservative. In the past, she occasionally deviated from her usual look, such as when she wore a red leather zip-front jacket, although more often she relied on what has worked for her for years.

Is there a change in the air? In the weeks following Obama's naming to its best dressed list by Vanity Fair, McCain has appeared much more frequently in dresses and more casual attire than had been her habit in the past. This change leads us to wonder if she's dressing differently in an attempt to show her critics that her style isn't stale.

In any case, Cindy McCain's dress is always appropriate, and if we were to compare her to a past First Lady, it would be to Nancy Reagan, whose 1980s power dressing stood her in good stead while she was in the White House.
