Dress for the Occasion

Virginia Postrel, who lives in Texas, concurs with a Washington Post fashionista who dings Vice President Cheney for dressing warmly for an outdoor ceremony in January:
    You don't dress for a solemn state ceremony as though you were going for a hike.
You know, Postrel and Robin Givhen might have approved of William Henry Harrison's attire for his first inauguration speech. The sartorial splendor killed him.

Listen to this Wisconsin boy: if you're going to be outside for a long period of time, you dress warmly and let the other people keep themselves warm giggling at your attire or expressing their outrage. That way everyone is comfortable.

Update: James Joyner agrees.
