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.

    It’s also why suits are so expensive. It’s not like the cloth that makes a suit is any different than the cloth used to make my Slayer T-shirt.

    If all the poors started wearing suits they’d just invent something else and make it cost $1mil per outfit.
