Kansas Lawmaker Imposes Dress Code for Women

Kansas state Sen. Mitch Holmes (R) “imposed a dress code on Kansans testifying on elections or ethics bills that explicitly prohibits women from wearing skimpy skirts or blouses with plunging necklines while establishing no wardrobe restrictions exclusively for men,” the Topeka Capital Journal reports.

“Holmes said he considered stipulating men had to wear suit and tie when addressing his Senate committee, but decided males didn’t need supplemental instruction on how to look professional.”
