Wardrobe ideas: Fitted turtleneck top, high-waisted trousers or classic denim. Add a structured blazer, a suede vest, or a trench coat to evoke a professional yet ready-for-the-streets journalist vibe. (I have a trench coat if you don’t)

Eyewear: Signature oversized, tinted aviator glasses

Jewelry: Keep it minimal and personal—thin silver or gold chains, or layered pendant necklaces.

Hair and Makeup: Centered parted straights hair. Makeup to be natural and understated. Focus on clean skin, minimal neutral lipstick or gloss and defined brows rather than heavy glam.

Body Language for Camera: Direct eye contact, relaxed posture, or raised fit in advocacy echoing iconic covers from Ms. Magazine.

Compilation of images both and color and black and white. Standing and sitting body positions. With and without props. Close ups, mid, 3/4, and full length shots.

Feminist Inspiration

The primary colors historically and globally associated with feminism and the women's movement are purple, white, and green.

The Core Colors and Their Meanings

  • Purple:

    Represents dignity, justice, loyalty to the cause, and is recognized internationally as the color for gender equality.

  • White: Represents purity and equality. Historically, suffragists wore white to symbolize their moral commitment and counter negative media stereotypes.

  • Green: Represents hope, growth, and new beginnings.

Other Significant Colors

  • Gold / Yellow: Adopted by American suffragists starting in 1867, inspired by the Kansas sunflower symbol. It became a beacon of hope and was widely used on ribbons, pins, and yellow roses during campaigns.

  • Lavender: Frequently used to represent lesbian feminism and woman-identified solidarity within the broader movement
