While many places have grown to accept the "dress down" philosophy similar to "casual Friday" in the workplace, we believe that dressing for success is something that needs to be practiced from an early age. Research has proven that individuals who dress better, feel better about themselves and exude an air of confidence. By requesting students to adhere to a dress code for Cotillion, we are providing them with an opportunity to present themselves in their best light.</p><p><strong>Gentlemen:</strong></p><ul><li><span style="font-size: 0.923em;">Collared shirt (tucked in)</span></li><li>Tie</li><li>Khakis or dress pants</li><li>Belt</li><li>Coat or sport jacket is optional</li></ul><p><strong>Ladies:</strong></p><ul><li>Dress</li><li>Skirt (knee length) and blouse</li></ul><p><strong>What Not to Wear:</strong></p><ul><li>Jeans</li><li>Shorts</li><li>Flip flops or Crocs</li><li>Athletic shoes</li><li>Strapless dresses</li></ul><p>Looking polished and properly dressed for the formal occasion is essential!
