Dress Code of Korea Model United Nations 2021

The standard dress code of KMUN 2021 is the “Smart Casual” attire, which is “a neat, conventional style,” looking sharp and well-dressed but also being comfortable. Informal, flashy attire and school uniforms will not be accepted. Delegates not in proper attire will be prohibited from entering the committee chamber. Remember that you are an ambassador of your country, sent as a diplomat to an international organization of great importance, and your attire should portray “professionalism and modesty.”

Note: 1. Note that wearing articles of clothing from your school uniform (ex. dress shirt or blouse) is acceptable, as long as the clothes do not clearly identify the school.

2. Having an online conference requires the same formality an offline conference has. Delegates should wear adequate attire within the top and bottom.
