Dress and Attire

We all know modesty and class when we see it. These guidelines illustrate the general standards of modesty and event-appropriate attire. Please realize these guidelines are not exhaustive, but they do provide a starting place. Students of either gender who arrive out of dress code may be sent home with no refund on ticket purchase.

  • GIRLS’ FORMAL DRESS
    • No visible undergarments.
    • No dresses/skirts shorter than 3" above the knee.
    • Avoid visible cleavage.
    • Strapless dresses are NOT allowed.
    • Open backs are acceptable, but should stop at or above the small of the back.
    • No visible midriff (exposed stomachs or sides).
    • Cut-outs must be lined with mesh. (Flesh-tone, black, or a color that coordinates with your dress).
    • Two-piece dresses that overlap are acceptable as long as the midriff is still covered when you raise your arms above your head. This can be helped with tailoring (tacking), mesh, a cami, etc.
    • Excessively tight clothing is not acceptable.
    • Pantsuits adhering to the same level of modesty and formality are acceptable.
    • Final Tip: Bring a shawl or sweater in case of wardrobe malfunction. If you do not have the means to fix an immodest dress at the event, you may be asked to leave.
  • GUYS’ FORMAL DRESS
    • No visible undergarments.
    • You must wear a suit or tux with a dress shirt.
    • Choose a modest dress shirt. If the dress shirt is sheer, wear an undershirt. Any formal style (collared or collarless) is acceptable.
    • Collared shirts require ties. (Traditional, bow, skinny, and bolo ties are all acceptable.)
    • Formal accessories (top hats, fedoras, etc.) are allowed.
    • Pants must be worn at an appropriate waist level and not allowed to slide onto the buttocks.
    • Excessively tight clothing is not acceptable.
    • If you do not have the means to fix an immodest or informal outfit at the event, you may be asked to leave.
