Dress Code
CONFERENCE DELEGATE ATTIRE should be proper and appropriate since it reflects directly
upon the Local Chapter, State Association, and National HOSA. Conference delegates (advisors,
members, and guests) are required to wear HOSA uniforms or appropriate business attire to all
conference activities unless otherwise noted for functions such as the HOSA dance.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE will blue jeans, shorts, or other casual attire be accepted at any
conference function (with the exception of tours, HOSA’s dances, and other recreational activities
as noted in the specific event dress code). Delegates dressed in such casual attire will not be
permitted to participate in official HOSA conference meetings.
When you aren’t sure or it
is unclear on what to wear,
go with business attire!
The final decision
regarding dress code
violations is at the
discretion of the
conference staff.
hosa uniform
∫∫ Tailored navy blazer with emblem affixed over the heart.
∫∫ Shirt/blouse for females (white tailored or short-sleeve white jewel neck shell)
∫∫ Shirt for males—white closed-neck, man-tailored - dress shirt, suitable for use with a tie
∫∫ Accent for female members - maroon HOSA scarf or - tie is optional but not required
∫∫ Accent for male officers - navy or maroon long tie
∫∫ Matching navy slacks for males and matching navy slacks or skirts for females
∫∫ Closed-toe blue or black shoes (hose optional)
COMPETITIVE EVENTS’ DRESS ATTIRE - Delegates must adhere to the Dress Code as
specified in the individual competitive event guidelines for the orientation and event in which they
are competing. Bonus points will be given according to the individual guidelines. For all
competitive events, five (5) bonus points will be added once per competitor and/or team to the
tally sheet for appropriate dress. In team events, all team members must be properly dressed to
receive the bonus points. Exceptions are as noted in the event guidelines.
∫∫ School tags, state badges or ID’s must be removed or completely covered during
competition.
Business ATTIRE
Females
Business suit, tailored dress or
blazer and skirt/slacks with tailored
blouse or polo shirt. Dress shoes
must be worn, tennis shoes are not
acceptable.
Males
Business suit, sport coat and slacks
with dress shirt and tie, or slacks
and polo shirt. Dress shoes must
be worn, tennis shoes are not
acceptable.
Tips for Business Attire Dress Code Success
No dress code can cover all contingencies so HOSA members must use a certain amount of
judgment in their choice of clothing to wear. HOSA members who experience uncertainty about
acceptable HOSA attire should ask his/her HOSA local or state advisor.
- here are a few more tips to help you understand the HOSA Dress Code.
∫∫ Any skirt or dress must be no shorter than 4 inches above the knee.
∫∫ No denim clothing or canvas shoes will be acceptable. Denim pants in colors
other than blue are not permitted. Blue jean skirts and dresses are NOT
acceptable.
∫∫ Dressy pants of different lengths that are part of a suit/ensemble may be
acceptable but “shorts” are not acceptable.
∫∫ Casual tank or tube tops, t-shirts, sweat pants/shirts, or tennis shoes are
never acceptable.
∫∫ Business attire may include khaki pants and polo tops.
∫∫ Clothing that works well for the beach, yard work, dance clubs, exercise
sessions, and sports contests is NOT appropriate for HOSA events, meetings,
and conference sessions.
∫∫ Clothing that reveals cleavage, your back, your chest, your stomach or your
underwear is not appropriate for HOSA delegates.
∫∫ Clothing should be pressed and never wrinkled. Torn, dirty, or frayed clothing
is unacceptable. Any clothing that has words, terms, or pictures that may be
offensive to HOSA delegates or guests is unacceptable.
∫∫ Open-toed shoes and heeled sandals are permitted. Flip-flops are not.
∫∫ Boots worn outside of your pants is not considered as business attire.
∫∫ Any type of skinny pants or leggings is not acceptable.
hosa casual
Longer-length shorts (no short-shorts), capri’s, neat jeans (no holes showing skin), polo shirts,
sweatshirts, HOSA or appropriate t-shirt and casual footwear such as flip-flops, tennis shoes, etc.
Definition of Flip-Flops: Flip-flops and thong sandals are flat, backless, made of
rubber or leather, plain or embellished with beads, etc., consisting of a flat sole held loosely on the
foot by a Y-shaped strap, like a thin thong, that passes between the first (big) and second toes
and around either side of the foot.
Dance dress code
∫∫ Students must wear a chapter or conference HOSA t-shirt. Shirts may not be tied
around the waist or shoulders. Requiring students to wear a HOSA shirt helps us
identify quickly whether or not the student is a HOSA student and helps us keep
non-HOSA members from attending our dances.
∫∫ If a student does not have a HOSA shirt to wear with their jeans, they must wear
the official HOSA uniform or business attire.
∫∫ Students may wear clean jeans. Holes or cuts in them which shows skin is not
acceptable. No underwear or midriffs showing at any time. Students are not
allowed to roll up the pant legs on their jeans.
∫∫ No Capri’s, no cut off jeans, no shorts allowed.
∫∫ Students must wear their HOSA conference name badge where it can be easily
read.
Inappropriate Attire - the following attire will not be allowed at any HOSA event:
∫∫ Clothing and accessories which are sexually suggestive, or display profanity, drugs, alcohol
or tobacco products
∫∫ See-through, tight fitting, spaghetti straps, strapless, extremely short, or low-cut tops/
dresses/shirts
∫∫ Pants or skirts which are worn below the hip bone; or visible undergarments
∫∫ Spandex, leggings, leotards, cutoffs or pajamas
∫∫ Clothing which is stained, torn or ripped
∫∫ Bare feet or bedroom type shoes
