- W4320724050 abstract "Certain sartorial expectations governed the appearance of Members of Parliament from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth. In order to be taken seriously and to convey their suitability to govern, MPs were expected to don the uniform of the House: a sombre black frock coat, silk top hat, and morning suit. Although this uniform was ubiquitous in the Commons throughout the period, others consciously subverted these sartorial expectations, which elicited primarily critical responses from within and without Parliament. Of course, not all sartorial choices had political meaning, and some were born out of eccentricity or contrariness. Most, however, were contrived and had political consequences. This chapter suggests that it is the reaction to such choices from other MPs, the political classes, and wider popular culture that is most instructive. It explores what such reactions tell us about political attitudes to an evolving political culture in a time of extending franchise, social change, emerging radical politics, and nationalist agendas. They tell us about more than just an individual’s political or personal identity. The chapter argues that the invariably negative response was neither a comment on fashion nor a reaction to the wearer, but reflected wider concerns about a trivialising of British politics due to its widening social base, direct challenges to the established order, and the changing political landscape. The reactions to sartorial subversion should thus be read as a manifestation of such concerns, which provide us with a different way of interrogating the political changes taking place in Britain." @default.
