Dressing Down


The Ancients weren’t right about everything. But they were right about togas. Togas should be part of a national dress code, mandatory for anyone serving in local, state, or federal government. For those of who think this is just about a preoccupation with the Roman Empire and its slow, steady fall from grace, think again. Remember John Belushi?  

I didn’t even realize there was a dress code for members of congress. I always assumed most of them couldn’t dress themselves, opting for the assistance of pages and interns. 


Think of the airflow. The breathability. The strange blending of casual yet formal attire is a must for us. When you get tired in a toga, good news, you have sheets for a nap. You’re wearing an oversized napkin when your meal is a tad messy. And when you’re embarrassed, there’s ample material to cover your face. No reason for Ozempic when you have several flowing layers covering your midsection.  


So let’s bring togas back into the fold.
