Open Dance Dress Code

The Jesuit High School dress code is modified for dances. Jeans, athletic shoes, and non-collared shirts are permitted. 

Students wearing the following will not be admitted:

  • Shorts, skirts, pants, and dresses that are too short (i.e. no more than 3” above the middle of the knee) excessively tight, or “low rise.” Leggings do not change the length rule.
  • Tops that expose the stomach, back or chest: halter or backless, tube or strapless, one shoulder, crop tops of those with straps less than 1” wide.
  • Clothing that sags, bags, or is low-cut that exposes undergarments or excessive skin.
  • Clothing with references to alcohol, sex or drugs, racist or sexist sayings.
  • Any manner of hand-decorated apparel.

Appropriate dress is determined by host school staff. If a specific dress code is required for a dance, it will be announced in advance.
