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.
The tie is the most useless piece of clothing ever invented. It serves no purpose (shut up about the original function, it no longer serves it) except to constrict your airway and dip into your spaghett.
Autoerotic asphyxiation.
What was even the original function anyway?
To please King Louis XIII.
During the 30 year war, Croatian mercenaries fought alongside the King in battle. To keep their jackets tied they used a piece of cloth which King Louis XIII took a strong liking to. He made this smart scarf a mandatory accessory for royal gatherings. Paying homage to the Croats who introduced this scarf to him, he named it ‘La Cravate’, which is still the French name for the necktie today.
Over the ages, the cravat has evolved into the modern necktie we wear today. Since their origins in military regiments, they have been a symbol of power and respect. Throughout the 19th century, they swept through the Western world. They were found in most universities, schools, sports clubs and gentlemen clubs.
…could be the soldier in the white cravat who turns the key in spite of the fact that this is the end of the cat and the mouse who dwelt in the house where the laughter rang and the tears were spilt; the house that jack built…
…bang-bang, shoot-shoot, white-gloved thumb: lord, thy will be done…
“He was always a good boy,” his mother said, “he’ll do his duty when he’s grown.”
…yeah, everybody’s got someone they call home…
The original function of any dress code is always maintained by the aristocracy and adopted by the people to put on the same airs, never the other way around.
It hides your placket. You don’t want people walking around with their plackets on show do you?
That’s the first thing I check out when I pick up a nudie magazine.
Edit: I think… I have no idea what a placket is
I’d like to see you find a better way of keeping soup off your shirt.
Can’t spill soup on your shirt if you aren’t wearing one
Please don’t take this from men. It’s like 1 of the only 3 socially acceptable male fashion accessories.

As far as I’m concerned, a T-Shirt with a funny slogan and shorts is acceptable male fashion.
