National History Day Dress Code
I have a quick question: I’m attending my county’s National History Day contest this weekend and I’m uncertain about what to wear. It mentions that costumes aren’t allowed, but should I dress in a suit like I do for my other competitions, or is a more casual look acceptable?
It’s not a stupid question at all! For National History Day, the attire typically leans towards smart casual or business casual rather than formal. You want to look polished and put-together, but a full suit may be more than necessary. Consider wearing dress pants or chinos with a nice shirt, or a dress that’s not too formal. The key is to be comfortable while still showing that you take the event seriously. Good luck at your contest!
