The United States Senate will no longer enforce a dress code for members of the upper house elected by those they serve.
"However, others entering the chamber must comply with the dress code. Coats/ties for men. Business attire for women," Chad Pergram, the Senior Congressional Correspondent for Fox News tweeted.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D.-New York, quietly sent the directive to the Senate's Sergeant at Arms, news website Axios reported.
The change allows Sen. John Fetterman, D.-Penn., to continue wearing his trademark "hoodies and gym shorts" while working for Americans.
Fetterman was previously praised for "turning heads" and "redefining fashion in the stuffy Senate" during his recovery following a six-week stay at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he was treated for "clinical depression" and "fitted for hearing aids for hearing loss that had made it harder for him to communicate."
The senator even found a "workaround" to the legislative body's dress code rules.
"He votes from the doorway of the Democratic cloakroom or the side entrance, making sure his ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ is recorded before ducking back out."

They also no longer must respectively refer to each other as “Senator” so-and-so, but can instead refer to each other as simply “Brah” or “Bruh” or “Yo, Bitch”.
His ‘Brand’ is more important than decorum and respect.
Geez. All the hairy-chested, far left hos will be showin’ up naked. This is going to get ugly.
What a disgrace.
May as well wear sarapes and sombreros to keep their real constituents happy.
>>I haven’t had to wear a tie at any job since I was 17, though, and I’d have to look up online how to tie one now. I think I own a tie, but damned if I know where it is.
I have a rack of them, mostly from the 70s and 80s. I last wore one to a wedding several years ago, and I did have to look up how to tie a half Windsor again.
>>All that nastiness because I don’t like wearing ties around my neck?
Those who are so insistent about wearing ties, which are obviously totally useless, are undoubtedly the same ones who are so opposed to wearing masks, which may have some utility, no matter how small.
I miss Dilbert in the Sunday papers.
I hope the people living and dead in Pennsylvania who voted for this slob are real proud of who is representing them
Everything socialists touch turns to shat.
Fetterman leads the way.
So if I win a Senate seat, I could honor my Scottish heritage and wear a Kilt with a bagpipe in the Senate? Just wondering...
They had Fetterman in mind.
Senators won’t be dressing respectfully any more because Fetterman wants to wear a Hoodia? Ayfkm? Grow up John & put on a tie! 🙄
Stop insulting Herman Munster :)
