• Belt
• White, light blue, or light yellow solid-colored shirt, always neatly tucked into the pants
• Tasteful necktie

Students are not to wear: boots (including Timberland boots), canvas or cloth tennis shoes, moccasins, athletic sweatshirts, hooded sweatshirts, apparel associated with a college or professional sports franchise, head phones, earrings, tattoos, hats, or other accessories to the dress code; nor extreme haircut styles.
