Why only men have specific requirements? This is not an attack on women but the ridiculousness of having a dress code that only specifies one gender.
I would go the malicious compliance route.
“which for men shall include a coat, tie, and slacks or other long pants.”
First up, there is no mention of a shirt...
Coat (n): A sleeved outer garment extending from the shoulders to the waist or below.
Lots of room for fun there.
Tie: (from wikkipedia) Variants include the ascot, bow, bolo, zipper tie, cravat, and knit.
Again, lots of fun.
slacks or other long pants
You get the idea by now.
Honestly something along what you're suggesting was my first thought too but then that might hurt Fetterman when he runs for reelection. He beat Dr Oz by 3%, which is rather good, but Oz was a pretty terrible candidate. He might face significantly stiffer competition next time around and he probably wants to avoid a montage of him dressed silly on some attack ad.
Dressed the way he did, he would get Philly residents to support him more.
Yeah people that think Pennsylvania will be less likely to vote for someone like that don’t know Pennsylvania.
PA is basically 3 states in one. As someone who grew up there, don't confuse Philadelphia (or Pittsburgh for that matter) politics with PA politics. There's a BIG area in the middle there...
Anybody in PA can relate to athletic shorts and hoodie. Doesn't matter the location.
Maybe. Seems like it could be a lot to risk with little gain. I don't think it would play well in the suburbs. I'm just some schlep though what do I know?
You're not a shlep you're a schmo!
I'm not a schmo I'm a schmuck
You're a schmuck, but you're also a schlemiel. Or is that a schlemazel?
That's a negative ghost rider. I am Hasenpfeffer Incorporated
He also suffered a stroke right before the election and was not in the most coherent state in his speeches at the time. And the ruling is only for the Senate floor, so he should be able to campaign in his own form of style outside of that.
So, puffy sports team coat, bolo tie, and pants hanging below my ass. I'm compliant!
I feel like that's how my character looked in Disco Elysium lol. Gotta get those stat boosts!
It also doesn't require a shirt!
Parachute pants, Dante's trenchcoat, and a bolo tie, got it.
They don't want to piss off Kristen Sinema, I guess?
Bravo
Also it doesn't say where those garments have to be worn. I'm putting on my jacket as a cape, slacks on my head, and tying a tie around my dick. Technically compliant with your stupid dress code.
Surely some tailor out there can make a hoodie styled like a suit coat with a drawstring "tie".
