Speaking of the hottest political drama lately, **"The Candidate: Wave-Maker"** is undoubtedly at the top. Not only is it ranked first in Netflix's program list, but its storyline also closely aligns with current events in Taiwan, attracting many local viewers. In addition to the vivid charm of the characters, their distinctive fashion choices in the series have also become a significant highlight.
Wen-Fang Ｗeng (played by Ying-Hsuan Hsieh )
Wen-Fang Weng is the Deputy Director and spokesperson of the Publicity Department. She comes from a political family; her father is a long-serving and seasoned legislator. Six months ago, he lost his bid for re-election as a New Taipei City councilor due to a violence scandal and was subsequently reassigned to the Central Party Headquarters as Deputy Director of the Publicity Department and spokesperson.
Because Ying-Hsuan Hsieh has relatively narrow shoulders, it’s essential for her character, as a spokesperson, to convey enough presence. Therefore, in the series, her suit features a slightly sharper collar than usual, and the shirt collar is larger, giving her a more commanding appearance. (played by Hsieh Ying-Hsuan)

Ya-Jing Zhang (played by Ching Wang)
Ya-Jing Zhang is a newcomer party worker in the Publicity Department of the Justice Party. Just stepping into the political arena, she gradually starts to doubt herself due to her relationship with her mentor, Zhao Chang-Tze. It’s not until she joins the Justice Party and meets Weng Wen-Fang that she begins to regain her confidence and rediscover her original intentions.
Portrayed by Ching Wang, the character of a new party worker often finds herself running around as a staff member. Her wardrobe mainly consists of simple T-shirts paired with button-up shirts that feature standard collars. The shirts are primarily in blue or white, colors that convey a sense of integrity and fairness, making her more relatable and approachable to the public.
Chia-Ching Chen (played by Chien-Wei Huang)
Chia-Ching Chen is the Director of the Publicity Department of the Justice Party. He is not only a reliable pillar of the department but also serves as a mediator for the party’s atmosphere. However, he becomes so absorbed in his staff work that he inadvertently neglects his family life. After realizing this issue, he works hard to find ways to balance both work and family.
In the series, his wardrobe primarily consists of button-up shirts with standard collars. If you're unsure how to choose collar styles, a standard collar shirt is always the safest option.
Chang-Tze Zhao (played by Li-Ren Dai )
Chang-Tze Zhao is the President of the Legislative Yuan. Before entering politics, he was a university professor specializing in environmental law. Once in the political arena, he quickly became a rising star within the Minhe Party. However, in private, he is an undeniable womanizer.
In the series, Li-Ren’s Dai character often wears shirts with square collars. It's important for square-collared shirts that the collar length isn’t too long, as longer collars can be less flattering. The square collar, distinct from standard collars, effectively helps to narrow the appearance of a wider face.
