The idea to wear pantsuits on election day started with a small private Facebook group and has spread across the internet

Even Beyonce got in on the act on Friday night, as her and her dancers performed at a Clinton rally in pantsuits.

The #pantsuitnation group say they are men and women from all states who believe that Mrs Clinton should be the next president.

Maine resident Libby Chamberlain started the group after the final presidential debate.

Ms Chamberlain and her friend told CNN that woman wearing pantssuits was a way to challenge gender roles through an item of clothing historically seen “as a man’s prerogative.”

“We talked about how beautifully and stoically Hillary embodies women’s fight for equality, and how the pants suit is an emblem of that struggle,” she said.

“It’s a symbol that might be lost on younger women, and so I wanted to do something to reappropriate that symbol and everything that it means to me as a feminist and Clinton supporter.”

The group has ballooned to more than 1.3 million members.
