Examples of clothing that is unnacceptable include:
- Tops that do not cover the bra strap or reveal the midriff area.
- Clothes that advertise, promote, or depict alcohol, tobacco, and/or illegal substances.
- Pants that are not able to stay on the hips.
- Shorts or skirts that are shorter than mid-thigh.
- Backless shirts or shirts with only one strap or shoulder.
