Dressing like this does not signal working class cultural mores. No working class person would ever show up to an important work event like this. It suggests you’re a spoiled rich kid he doesn’t feel they have to comport to social expectations (Fetterman did grow up extremely rich and was supported by his parents into his 40s).

I’m as much a proponent of comfort and dressing how you want, but yeah there’s a difference in bucking the system and just being lazy and entitled. Also another sign he’s probably not well enough to be serving but that’s a different conversation.
