Now you are probably thinking why wear purple?

Historically the colour purple represents the suffragette movement which happened in 1903, it is known to be a colour for loyalty and continuing a purpose. It symbolises the importance of elegance and authority too. Moreover, purple is a combination of the colours red and blue; these two colours represent the Republican Party and the Democrat Party.

The fashion of the inauguration day of 2021 was remarkable, and although the Trump family did a hardworking four years, it is a new start for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
