AZYLC 2026

DRESS CODE

The dress code, developed by team leaders and former delegates, sets the proper decorum for the conference, and will be strictly enforced. The code aids you – the delegate – in making a good impression on your fellow delegates and leadership staff, alike. AZYLC expects delegates to be well mannered and their appearance reflect a certain appearance. Delegates will be requested to change clothes after the first violation and may be expelled from the conference if their dress does not reflect an acceptable appearance.

Acceptable Dress Includes:

  • Rain gear, sweatshirts, T-shirts, golf shirts, button up shirts, shorts, slacks, knee length

skirts, blouses, cargo pants, pant suits, and school letter sweaters.

  • Jeans for daily wear (not faded, ripped or cut off). If “low-rise” jeans, shirt must cover mid-section completely, even when hands are raised.
  • Dresses: At least knee length. Must wear a top to cover dresses without sleeves.
  • Shoes: Athletic shoes for class and events.

Unacceptable Dress (meaning Do Not bring them) Includes:

  • Cut-offs or faded jeans, tank tops, muscle shirts, oversized and baggy pants, short shorts (no shorter than 3 inches above the knee), skorts, mini-skirts, provocative necklines (no sleeveless, spaghetti straps or backless dresses) and bare midriffs by any gender is unacceptable. Flip flops are only for shower use.
  • LOGOs – any clothing with logos or lettering representing drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex, violence, gangs, etc.

The Thursday evening dinner banquet and awards presentations is a special time. A party or semi-formal dress or gown, jacket and trousers, shirt and tie are encouraged. Uniforms are optional. Delegates wearing spaghetti straps must also wear a short vest, shawl or other shoulder and neckline covering. Shoulders must be covered.

WHAT TO BRING

  • You must provide your own bedding, e.g. sleeping bag or blankets with sheets and a pillow
  • Athletic clothes and shoes to participate in optional morning athletic activities
  • Towel(s), toiletries, e.g. soap, shampoo, toothbrush and paste, deodorant, essential eye-ware
  • Pens, a sharpie (for T-shirt signing), and highlighters
  • Light snack foods for after hours
