JROTC Professional Business Wear Extra Credit Wednesday, 11 March 2020
Parents/Guardians/Cadets,
Chief Wood and I will be implementing a professional business wear day for extra credit. Studies have shown that when people dress up, they feel better about themselves, feel more confidence and often times perform better.
In addition, our JROTC curriculum covers business dress, job search and interviews.
We will begin this tomorrow, Wednesday, 11 March 2020. Extra credit will be worth 20% of a uniform grade.
Below are the guidelines we will use for awarding extra credit:
Formal Business Attire Requirements
This is an overview of appropriate formal business attire. The lists tell you what is generally accepted as formal business attire and what is generally not acceptable as formal business attire.
No dress code can cover all contingencies so cadets must exert a certain amount of judgment in their choice of clothing to wear to school. If you experience an uncertainty about acceptable, professional formal business attire for work, please ask your JROTC instructors.
Slacks, Pants, and Suit Pants
Slacks that are made of cotton, wool or synthetic material pants, pants that match a suit jacket, and nice-looking dress synthetic pants are acceptable in a business formal work environment.
Inappropriate slacks or pants include any that are too informal. This includes jeans, sweatpants, exercise pants, Bermuda shorts, short shorts, shorts, bib overalls, leggings, and any spandex or other form-fitting pants such as people wear for exercise or biking.
Skirts, Dresses, and Skirted Suits
Dresses, skirts, skirts with jackets, dressy two-piece knit suits or sets, and skirts that are split at or below the knee are acceptable. Dress and skirt length should be at a length at which you can sit comfortably in public.
Short, tight skirts that ride halfway up the thigh are inappropriate for work. Mini-skirts, skorts, sundresses, beach dresses, and spaghetti-strap dresses are inappropriate to wear when dressing professionally for the office.
Shirts, Tops, Blouses, and Jackets
Shirts, dress shirts, sweaters, tops, and turtlenecks are acceptable attire for work if they contribute to the appearance of formal, professional dress. Most suit jackets or sports coats are also desirable professional dress for the office.
Inappropriate attire for a professional workplace includes tank tops; midriff tops; shirts with potentially offensive words, terms, logos, pictures, cartoons, or slogans; halter-tops; tops with bare shoulders or plunging necklines; golf-type shirts; sweatshirts; and t-shirts.
Shoes and Footwear
Dress shoes, oxfords, loafers, dress boots, flats, dress heels, and backless shoes are acceptable for work. Not wearing stockings or socks is inappropriate. Athletic shoes, tennis shoes, thongs, flip-flops, slippers, and any casual shoe with an open toe are not acceptable in the office.
Accessories and Jewelry
Tasteful, professional ties, scarves, belts, and jewelry are encouraged. Jewelry should be worn in good taste, with limited visible body piercing. Belt must be worn.
Makeup
Natural makeup, no dark or colorful eye-shadows or lipstick.
Hair
Hair should be away from your eyes/face so it’s not distracting. Shaven facial hair or neat and trimmed.
Hats and Head Covering
Hats are not appropriate in the office. Head Covers that are required for religious purposes or to honor cultural tradition are allowed.
