Members of the United States Senate will no longer be subject to a dress code, although the man who sent the directive said he will continue to wear suits.
Fetterman was previously praised for"turning heads" and"redefining fashion in the stuffy Senate" during his recovery following a
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." "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."U.S. Sen. John Fetterman speaks as Sen. Bernie Sanders , Sen. Ed Markey , Sen. Peter Welch and Sen.
"He’s setting a new dress code," Vermont Sen. Peter Welch joked to AP back in May."He was struggling. And now he’s a joyful person to be around." Fetterman faced some backlash against his casual dress code, even from his own staff, according to AP, who"had originally asked him to always wear suits, which he famously hates." "Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit," Schumer said in a statement to Axios. The news website adds that Senate officials said the updated rule will go into effect this week.
