Vice President JD Vance discusses what he says is an informal, unwritten White House dress code President Donald Trump expects from his inner circle and cabinet members. Vance makes the comments during a press tour for his new book, *Communion*, appearing earlier this week on Sean Hannity’s podcast, “Hang Out with Sean Hannity.” Across reports, Vance characterizes Trump’s preferences as rooted in the idea that officials should respect the institutions they serve by presenting a classic, formal appearance. Multiple outlets report that Vance describes specific styling expectations, including a preference for navy suits and a dislike of brown shoes. While outlets frame the remarks as “secret” or “hidden” rules, the account is presented as Vance’s description of Trump’s preferences rather than a formally published policy. Yahoo News reports the same topic but provides no additional details in the supplied material. The reports collectively present Vance’s remarks as descriptive of Trump’s expectations for appearance among close advisers and cabinet-level officials.
