Senators should no more come to the chamber wearing a jogging suit than they should wear a tuxedo to play tennis.
We citizens, after all, employ the often-ridiculous members of the House and Senate. In some cases, dressing down suits their behavior perfectly. The low-cut tops of Rep. Lauren Boebert come to mind. Try to imagine the always well-dressed former House speaker Nancy Pelosi similarly attired. I doubt we’ll see Boebert climb to the leadership position. Though who knows? Pennsylvania elected Fetterman.
I know, I know, much ado. But when conducting the nation’s business, shouldn’t people be expected to display adult dress? I vote yes.It’s a matter of manners. When guests are asked to dress up for cocktails and dinner, the assumption is that people will put on their best behavior along with their good clothes. Most people try to dress up for their worship services.
Not long ago while walking through the Charlotte airport observing wardrobes that seemed designed for napping, I spotted a woman in a pretty dress. Her hair was “fixed,” as we say, and she wore a tasteful touch of makeup. I couldn’t help myself and sprinted over to tell her how nice she looked and how lovely it was to see someone who had taken the time to dress. She was radiant with appreciation.
Call me old-fashioned, but please join me in urging our senators to wear clothes appropriate for work. This tiny concession to decorum would demonstrate respect for the offices they hold and the nation they represent and their consideration of others — especially us.
