20. Jewelry, Makeup, Perfume and Cologne: Should be in good taste, with no visible body piercing other than pierced ears.
Hats and Head Covering: Hats and caps are not appropriate in sessions. Head Covers that are required for religious purposes or to honor cultural tradition are allowed.
Typically the standard for fingernail length is no longer than the tip of the finger. This standard only applies to staff authorized through training to restrain a juvenile. However, if your fingernail length interferes with the effectiveness and efficiency of your job performance – how well and how quickly you can perform those duties (i.e., typing, washing clothes, etc…), then you should trim your nails to the standard length (not to extend beyond the finger tip). Also, if you or your supervisor believe the length of your nails might present a safety risk (such as: cause injury during a physical confrontation), you are required to trim them to the standard length.
During RCDT training, no staff member may wear false nails or have fingernail length extend beyond the tip of each finger.

21. Please be on time for sessions!
Wear your name badge as it is required for admission to each session!
Excessive make-up should be avoided.
Hair rollers, sometimes called curlers, are prohibited at work.

22. Violations of Dress Code
If a FCCLA member or adviser chooses NOT to follow
or meet the
“FCCLA Official Business Casual Dress Standards” . . .
they choose NOT to be admitted to the session or event
If you have to ask yourself, “I wonder if this would be appropriate for work?”, then it probably isn’t appropriate for work.
You are encouraged to seek guidance from your supervisor when you have questions about what is appropriate to wear to work.
