Uniform and Appearance
Because US Senate Pages are required to wear uniforms while on the job, they are some of the most recognized employees of the Senate. The uniform consists of a navy blue suit, a white, long sleeve, traditional dress shirt, a name badge, Page insignia lapel pin, and a plain, navy tie (males only).
As expected of most Senate employees, Pages are especially required to maintain a neat, professional appearance. Boys must be clean-shaven with hair kept short and neat. Girls must also have their hair neat and kept out of their face. No extraneous jewelry is to be worn.

Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
