Lauren Boebert Breaks One Of The Biggest Fashion Rules In A Borderline Inappropriate Work 'Fit
Representative Lauren Boebert violated one of fashion's oldest rules when she stepped out in a white mini dress to visit Farmbox Farms in early September 2026. Tradition reserves white clothes for the summertime, and limits the color to the time period between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Considering that Boebert's appearance was on September 3 — two full days after the Labor Day cutoff in 2025 — she was technically breaking this code, which has its origins in the Gilded Age. "Not only was there no air-conditioning, but people did not go around in T shirts and halter tops. They wore what we would now consider fairly formal clothes," etiquette expert Judith Martin told TIME. "And white is of a lighter weight." Wealthy families who spent their summers north of city would shift back to a dark colored wardrobe when they returned, where it was seen as gauche to continue wearing light colors.
Color isn't the only problem with this outfit. The skirt is also slightly too short to be appropriate for a professional outing, especially when paired with such towering heels. Boebert might have tossed a blazer over the minidress, but that doesn't make it anymore appropriate for a political setting, and making this look another Boebert outfit that was a complete miss.
Lauren Boebert isn't afraid of a short skirt
On plenty of occasions, Representative Lauren Boebert has worn spicy outfits to work, and donned an above-the-knee skirt for professional appearances, including Boebert's event outfit that was borderline inappropriate. While there's nothing wrong with a mini skirt, it's an unusual choice for a politician's wardrobe, as they're generally considered too casual for the workplace. In fact, republican lawmakers in Kansas even banned women from wearing mini skirts to testify before the state senate.
Lauren Boebert is on her way to:
- Seduce one of her children's teachers
- Return this outfit at Target even thought she bought it at Forever 21
- Audition for the Vegas revue "Executive Ladies"
- Traffic court
- Lead a task force into something called a "library" pic.twitter.com/0BgltsHHsZ— Paul Rudnick (@PaulRudnickNY) October 12, 2023
Boebert's controversial style has drawn both love and criticism. Below of a photo of Boebert in a polka dot mini dress, writer Paul Rudnick suggested on X that she appeared to be on the way to "seduce one of her children's teachers." But plenty of online commenters felt that Boebert was pulling the look off. "God the hoop ear rings and short skirt make her so sexy," wrote one Reddit user beneath the same photo, showing not everyone is in agreement about her style.
