This Week's Trivia Question:

Which U.S. president wore long trousers instead of knee breeches to his inauguration, thereby ending the custom of 18th century dress at the White House: (1) Thomas Jefferson; (2) John Quincy Adams; or (3) Andrew Jackson?

Answer:

According to the New England Historical Society website, President-elect John Quincy Adams wore a homespun, black suit with full-length trousers to his March 1825 inauguration, ending the custom of wearing knee breeches that had endured for the first five presidencies from George Washington to James Monroe. He also eschewed the fashion for wearing powdered wigs.
