The Washington Post style section lets us know that anyone who would dress conservatively in the White House is worthy of scorn.

An Image A Little Too Carefully Coordinated

There they were -- John, Jane, Josie and Jack -- standing with the president and before the entire country. The nominee was in a sober suit with the expected white shirt and red tie. His wife and children stood before the cameras, groomed and glossy in pastel hues -- like a trio of Easter eggs, a handful of Jelly Bellies, three little Necco wafers. There was tow-headed Jack -- having freed himself from the controlling grip of his mother -- enjoying a moment in the spotlight dressed in a seersucker suit with short pants and saddle shoes. His sister, Josie, was half-hidden behind her mother's skirt. Her blond pageboy glistened. And she was wearing a yellow dress with a crisp white collar, lace-trimmed anklets and black patent-leather Mary Janes....

Everyone looks freshly scrubbed and adorable, just like they have stepped from a Currier & Ives landscape - she said with a sneer.

Oh, the humanity!

Perhaps the style editor would prefer the fugly look.
