Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has quietly told the Senate's Sergeant at Arms to cease enforcement of a formal dress code for its members.
The altered rule will take effect this week, according to a Senate official who spoke to Axios, which first reported on the change."Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit," Schumer said in a statement.
Staff members will still be required to follow the old dress code, but the changes will likely have the most impact on Sen. John Fetterman , who is notorious for wearing his signature hoodie and gym shorts combination over business attire that is traditionally required in the Senate chamber.
It's not immediately clear whether the Senate dress code is a written policy, as no senior staff contacted by Axios Friday could point to a record of the rules.Dress codes in the Capitol have been a shifting battle in recent years. After a July 2017 protest by women lawmakers over their right to have bare arms, rules were relaxed to allow sleeveless dresses.
