The Senate passed a resolution Wednesday to make business attire a requirement on the Senate floor.

The moves comes after backlash to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) directive to scuttle the chamber’s informal dress code, which was widely viewed to be inspired by Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.).

The bipartisan resolution requires that business attire be worn on the floor of the Senate, “which for men shall include a coat, tie, and slacks or other long pants.”

The bill does not spell out what the attire includes for women.

    All fashion accessories are socially acceptable male fashion accessories if you ignore smooth brained losers.

      Lesson learned:

      • Liking ties even though they’re functionally useless: tired
      • Liking any other equally functionally useless accessory: wired
