INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
• Dress code, refers to a set of rules or guidelines prescribing
the type of clothing, accessories, grooming standards, and
overall appearance expected in a particular context, such as
schools, workplaces, or social events (Kraus and Mendelson
2014).
• Ferguson and Gough (2015) found that students who adhere
to a prescribed dress code demonstrate higher levels of
focus, motivation, and participation in classroom activities.
• Undergraduate students who cultivate a habit of dressing
professionally are better equipped to navigate job
interviews, networking events, and internships, thereby
increasing their employability and career prospects (Luong,
2017).
Statement of the Problem
• The introduction of a new dress code policy at universities
is often intended to create a more professional and
disciplined academic environment.
• The effectiveness and consequences of such policies on
the dressing habits, academic performance, and overall
well-being of undergraduate students remain a subject of
debate.
• The problem lies in understanding how these dress code
policies impact various aspects of student life, including
their behavior, academic engagement, self-expression,
cultural identity, and social interactions.
• The implementation of the new dress code policy a
JOSTUM raises several critical questions.
• Addressing these questions is crucial for evaluating the
effectiveness of the dress code policy and its broader
implications.
