Even among ladies and gentlemen who wear hats, they’re not worn indoors as a matter of etiquette.
THANK YOU, Oberon! This classless hack thinks it's more important to "look good" than to adhere to long-established acceptable social etiquette norms.
As a matter of fact, hats were originally used to keep soot and ash out of the faces of gentlemen and ladies during the Industrial Revolution. They were purposeful accoutrements that lent to style.
While we don't live in a world covered in soot anymore, hats are still en vogue in some circles, but the old standards of etiquette still apply!
Actually, if a woman is wearing a hat, she is not required to remove it indoors..same as in church. And in the Marine Corps, we women Marines were not required to remove their cover indoors ( if we worked in the space we did for comfort sake) but it was not a requirement.
That said, however, if the congress dress code dictates that all head wear is not to be worn in the Congress working areas then so be it. I for one would not want to wear a hat all day...
She just wants to draw attention to herself.
As to that dummy from Houston,,her hairdo always make me think that braid is her version a diadem.
Etiquette? Etiquette is probably not high on her list of priorities.
Imagine having to sit behind her at a function. Not that she would care if she inconvenienced anyone.
I wonder how she goes through security at the airport. LOL
Women can wear hats indoors. At least to church. Which is indoors.
"Ladies properly keep their hats on indoors, everywhere except their own houses, during the day," she writes. "Luncheons even traditionally required ladies to wear hats."Miss Manners recognizes that some rules vary peculiarly. It is acceptable for Christian women to wear hats in church, but disrespectful for men to wear them. Not so with Conservative or Orthodox Jews, who would find it disrespectful for men not to cover their heads with a yarmulke when in a synagogue.
