National TSA Dress Code

Chapter and state advisors, and parents and chaperones, are responsible for seeing that all TSA student members wear official TSA attire, professional TSA attire, or business casual TSA attire as occasions may require. TSA attire may now be purchased online via the SHOP tab at the right.

Official TSA attire, professional TSA attire, and business casual TSA attire are considered appropriate dress for related conference activities and public appearances. Since adults (advisors, parents, guests) serve as role models at TSA conferences and activities, they are expected to dress appropriately for all related occasions they attend. Students must adhere to the TSA dress code requirements as listed below.

During general sessions at the national conference, student members must wear official TSA attire, professional TSA attire, or business casual attire. Adults must dress appropriately.  No flip-flops, halter tops, tank tops or shorts are permitted for anyone at the general sessions.

TSA contestants must refer to the TSA competitive event CD for specific attire required for each competition and to the Competitive Events Attire section in the general rules.
