Claire-inspired outfit #3 - If Claire wore pants...

If Claire Underwood wore pants, they would clearly be black, grey, or navy.  She would have perfectly matched heels.  She would probably pair them with a fitted button down, in white or a men's shirting fabric.  And she would wear a fabulous belt - either the exact same color as her pants, or a clearly contrasting (but still neutral) color.  In terms of fit, I think she would either go for an obvious wide-leg (which is what I went for), or a very fitted pair - nothing in between for her.

So this is my version of "If Claire wore pants."  Her belt wouldn't be leopard print, but I think the colors and fit could all work for her...
