Dressing Constitutionally: Hierarchy, Sexuality, and Democracy, From Our Hairstyles to Our Shoes

---

Dressing Constitutionally explores how laws and constitutional debates in the United States regulate personal appearance—from clothing and hairstyles to bodily presentation—and how these rules reflect broader struggles over gender, sexuality, power, and democratic freedoms. The book traces historical and contemporary cases to show how dress codes function as tools of hierarchy, disciplining marginalized groups while shaping public morality and political identity. By examining schools, workplaces, prisons, and public spaces, the author reveals how everyday acts of dressing become sites of constitutional negotiation, where individual rights intersect with state authority. This work highlights the importance of bodily autonomy in sustaining democratic life and questions how far governments can go in policing appearance without undermining fundamental liberties.
