Dress Code

NMUN DRESS CODE

Western business dress is preferred. International delegates in whose native countries traditional cultural dress is appropriate may dress in "professional business dress". These delegates are the only individuals to whom this applies. Any delegate attempting to use cultural costume to portray a "character" will be asked to leave the committee chamber and change into clothing that is more appropriate. The NMUN will not tolerate any delegate's attempt to mock traditional cultural attire or abuse it as costume. Typically, delegates wear business suits to the Opening and Closing Ceremony and to all committee sessions. All clothing must adhere to guidelines that portray professionalism and modesty. If a delegate's attire is deemed inappropriate by the NMUN staff the delegate will be asked to leave the session and return with the appropriate attire. Also, note that it is inappropriate for delegates to display any national symbols such as flags, pins, crests, etc. on their person during committee sessions. UN symbols are acceptable, however.
