3 DRESS CODE AND BUSINESS ATTIRE HOSA members should follow the event guidelines in determining appropriate competitive event attire. Competitors (teams) who are appropriately dressed will earn bonus points for proper dress. Proper Business Attire Conference delegate attire should be proper and appropriate since it reflects directly upon the State Association and National HOSA. Conference delegates must wear HOSA uniform or appropriate business attire to all conference activities, unless otherwise noted, other than the general sessions, where HOSA attire is required.

Any clothing that has words, terms, or pictures that may be offensive is unacceptable. Open--toed shoes and heeled sandals are permitted with Business Attire. Flip--flops and Toms are not. Casual tank or tube tops, t-shirts, sweat pants/shirts, or tennis shoes are never acceptable. Definition of Flip-Flops Flip-flops and thong sandals are flat, backless, made of rubber or leather, plain or embellished with beads, etc., consisting of a flat sole held loosely on the foot by a Y-shaped strap, like a thin thong, that passes between the first (big) and second toes and around either side of the foot.
