CLOTHING GUIDELINES

  • Be neat, clean, modest, and appropriate in your clothing and grooming.
  • Avoid being extreme or inappropriately casual in clothing, hairstyle, or behavior.
  • Footwear should be appropriate for the activity and worn in all public areas.
  • For activities where Sunday dress is required, wear clothing that will show respect for the Lord and yourself. Dress appropriately, as you would when attending Sacrament services.

“Our clothing expresses who we are. It sends messages about us, and it influences the way we and others act. When we are well groomed and modestly dressed, we can invite the companionship of the Spirit and exercise a good influence on those around us.” (www.ChurchofJesusChrist.org/Study/Manual/Gospel-Topics/Modesty)
