• Dress Code Policy 

Delegates should also dress for success. Just like being polite and having proper manners, dressing appropriately is an important way to show respect for the nation you are representing, for your fellow delegates and for the United Nations.

Western business attire, or international standard business attire, serves as customary dress for workplaces. It entails wearing a suit, which is made up of trousers, a matching jacket, a button-down dress shirt, and a tie. Conservative dress shoes and socks are also important.  Skirts and dresses may also be worn as long as they fall to a decent length. The main objective is to always insure that your appearance is tidy and put-together, and that you are well covered. Take a look at this Dress Code Chart.
