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.

    Counter proposal, every member must wear formal dresses. You can have your formal attire, but you’re not going to like it.

      As long as they all have to wear fancy hats like at the Kentucky Derby too. Even though I think there’s nearly nothing redeeming about Lindsey Graham I imagine he’d have the fanciest hat of them all.
