Will plainclothes John Fetterman give up his casual look in new role as Pa. Lt. Gov.?

The state Senate has always had a strict dress code. 

For men, its the typical suit and tie rule. And for women, it's the general expectation of "professional attire."

And this year, amid swearing-in, Pennsylvania's House and Senate went even further to prioritize these standards by adopting a Senate rule mandating such dress code.

Now, could this have anything to do with lieutenant governor-elect John Fetterman?

The York County native does not fit the usual description for a politician. He's 6-foot-8, and famous for his tattoos and lack of a tie. His preferred uniform is sneakers, jeans or cargo shorts and a black Dickie's work shirt. 

During his time as the mayor of Braddock and even while campaigning for U.S. Senate and lieutenant governor, he never strayed from that "look."

"I'm not a suit-and-tie kind of guy," Fetterman said Monday. 

At Tuesday's inauguration though — and to many people's surprise — he will be.

He took to Twitter Saturday, sharing a picture of a dry cleaning receipt — "1st trip to the dry cleaners this millennium," he wrote. 

It looks like the inauguration will be the start of a whole new wardrobe for Fetterman. He plans to abide by Senate's dress code like everyone else. 

"I would never let what I'm wearing become a distraction," he said.
