man-tailored dress shirt, suitable for use with

CLARIFICATION OF “PROPER
BUSINESS ATTIRE”
Proper Business Attire has
nothing to do with the brand labels in your clothes,
beauty, good looks, or sex appeal. Simple, common
sense will tell you how to dress for your events.
You are what you wear. Avoid trendy fashions.
A simple, tailored look is best. Remember that
you are dressing to appeal to the judge, not for
your date or peers. Dress to impress! When in
doubt, wear something else!
- No denim clothing or canvas
shoes will be acceptable.
- Open-toe shoes and sandals
are permitted but “flip-flops” and
beach shoes are not acceptable.
- Sleeveless attire
is acceptable for females but a sundress, tube
top or other casual attire is not acceptable.
