DRESSING FOR GLOBAL CLASSROOMS

UN Conferences require that students dress more formally than usual. To

help you think about what to where, here are some general guidelines.

Your goal:

You are aiming to dress in businesslike, professional clothing. A helpful

way to think about this is to ​
imagine yourself as a lawyer arguing a case in
court​. How would you dress? You should look polished and dignified, not as if
you are about to go to a party or dance.

Girls:
Appropriate choices include:
● Suit, jacket, vest or sweater with skirt or pants
● Simple dress that covers your shoulders
● Simple shoes with flat or moderate heel

Items to avoid:
● Miniskirts or shorts
● Jeans or leggings
● Flip-flops, strappy sandals, very high heels or sneakers
● Low-cut or revealing tops
● Party clothing

Boys:
Appropriate choices include:
● Shirt and tie with a jacket, vest or sweater
● Pants with belt
● Simple dress shoes

Items to avoid:
● Jeans or shorts
● Visible boxer shorts
● Sneakers, flip-flops or other casual shoes

Things to Consider:

You will be spending all day at the Conference and you do not know now
hot or cold it will be in your room. Bring layers so that you can be comfortable no
matter what.
