Senate Dress Code Relaxed: Stuffy Senate Takes a Less Formal Turn

New Resolution Formalizes Business Attire

Majority Leader's Order Rolls Back Formal Enforcement

The stuffy Senate chambers have taken a turn towards modernity, with a less formal dress code now in effect. Following a brief departure from tradition to accommodate Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, the Senate Majority Leader has directed the Sergeant at Arms to cease enforcing the chamber's dress code.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) confirmed the rollback last week. This move follows the passage of a resolution by the Senate formalizing business attire as the standard dress code.
