The MAGA Fashion Revolution | The Nation Podcast
Description
Donald Trump and his MAGA movement haven’t just taken over Republican politics. They’ve also taken over Republican fashion.
Gone is the stuffy, genteel uniform of the elite. In its place: a loud, anti-establishment, even vulgar sartorial agenda. But what does this style actually say about MAGA politics? What do these clothes suggest about the authenticity of the movement’s leaders—especially when so many of Trump’s policies remain old-school conservative? And what messages do these looks send when their words often mean something else entirely?
To help us unpack the fashion evolution of the political establishment, we’re joined by Derek Guy—better known online as the Menswear Guy and creator of the blog Die Workwear!
Derek has written for The New York Times, the Financial Times, and other outlets. His essay, “From Blazers to Belligerence,” appears in the October books issue of The Nation.
