The U.S. Senate’s new relaxed dress code could impact the confidence and productivity of lawmakers as society continues to become more casual, according to an expert.
"By wearing a certain shirt or a tie, we feel a little bit more confident, a little bit more productive, a little bit more ready for today," Burza told FOX News Digital. Brian Flood is a media reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to brian.flood@fox.com and on Twitter: @briansflood.
"If I were to show up here today in gym clothes or in my soccer mom attire, I don't think that I would feel as ready to deliver this information," Burza continued, while sporting a red blazer with black lapels. "I also think that we can reduce our confidence if we are wearing something that's just really symbolically, and historically noted, as casual and not as serious. And I think that that is the danger that we run into right now."
