American Flag Etiquette
Whenever the flag passes by, as in a parade, U.S. citizens pay it their respects by standing at attention and placing the right hand over the heart. Men remove their hats and hold them, in their right hands, over their hearts. This rule also applies to women wearing sports caps. Hats and tiaras of other sorts should remain upon a lady's head.
While citizens of other countries are not expected to salute the U.S. flag, sing our national anthem, or recite the Pledge of Allegiance, it is respectful for them to stand quietly while the flag passes, the anthem is sung, or the pledge is recited.
The Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem
Congressional Act 36 USC 301 addresses the behavoir of all US Citizens during the pledge of allegiance and the national anthem. When saying the pledge of allegiance, people of all ages are expected to stand at attention, face the flag, and salute by placing the right hand over the heart. Men should remove their hats, and women any sports caps.
Everyone, even very young children, should rise, remain standing, and salute by placing the right hand over the heart during the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner—first note to last. It's ok if you don't sing, with it's extreme range the anthem isn't easy to sing. However, if you chose not join in song you must stand quietly until "O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave" has rung out and the music ends.
According to Section 8d of the United States Flag Code, it is prohibited to wear the flag as an article of clothing. You should not wear the flag in any form of clothing. That means a shirt styled to look like the flag, or having a flag print, or to be styled as if made from a flag. It is considered very disrespectful as the clothes encounter daily wear, stains and are then eventually thrown away.
If you must wear a flag of some sort, wear a flag pin or broach. Such a jewel bearing the likeness of the U.S. flag should only be worn on the left lapel.

Fashion Friday: YSL Quote
For all the fuss and muss that we go through getting ready for events, and even just to go out on a daily basis, I think that there's one very important thing that we must not forget. YSL said it best...
