Guidelines for Non-Costumed Men
To maintain the Disney image of excellence, clothing should be classic in style, clean, neatly pressed and creased, and fit properly. Clothing should not appear too tight, too baggy, faded or in need of repair.Classic clothing, jewelry, accessories and shoes are simple, unexaggerated styles. A fashion classic is neither outdated nor a short-lived fad, but a timeless, yet current, look. Classic styles form the foundation of a versatile, coordinated wardrobe that delivers a polished presence and supports an image of excellence.
Business Attire
- Dress trousers and a short or long-sleeved professional style shirt are required. Shirts must be tucked in, with the exception of sweaters specifically tailored otherwise.
- A tie, sport coat or suit may be required at certain times, depending on your work location and the nature of your role. Check with your area leader for more information.
- Cotton twill trousers (i.e., Dockers, khakis) are permitted only if they are neatly pressed, creased and appear to be professionally laundered.
- Non-costumed Cast Members are permitted to wear a short- or long-sleeved oxford-style dress shirt with property-specific embroidered logo. Sport coat, blazer and tie are optional.
- In addition to the options above, non-costumed men in Sports and Recreation are permitted to wear dress or golf style shorts no shorter than three inches (7.6cm) above the top of the knee. Shorts may be paired with a professional-style shirt (as detailed above) or with a neat, well-maintained polo or golf style shirt. Shorts are not permitted for men in Golf Operations or for office-based Cast in this area.
- Clothing not permitted includes polo or golf style shirts (except for Sports & Recreation Cast), cargo-style trousers, t-shirts and garments made of denim fabrics.
- Winter jackets and coats should also present a professional appearance and should be made of fabrics traditionally acceptable in business. For example, wool, leather and microfiber offer good choices. Denim, nylon satin and other casual fabrics would not meet these professional guidelines.
Fabrics and Patterns
Fabrics should be those traditionally acceptable for business such as tweed, wool, cotton, polyester, silk, linen, rayon or blends of these fibers. Unacceptable fabrics include spandex, metallic fabrics, sheer fabrics, clinging knits, denim and chambray.Patterns that are large graphics, large company and non-company logos, and styles or patterns that suggest extremely casual sportswear are not permitted.
Headwear
Non-costumed Cast Members, while working outdoors only, may wear hats made of natural materials, such as straw, with a small brim for protection from the sun. These should be a simple classic style, solid tan or brown in color.Hatbands must be a solid color similar to the color of the hat. Baseball caps are not permitted.
Jewelry
- Lapel pins, tie bars or clips, collar bars, cufflinks, rings, a bracelet and a business-style watch are permitted.
- One bracelet, in good business taste, in gold, silver or a color that blends with your clothing is permitted. The width of the bracelet may not exceed one-half inch (1.3 cm). Necklaces and ankle bracelets are not permitted. A medical-alert necklace, bracelet or ankle bracelet is acceptable.
- Jewelry may not be worn in any visible body piercing. See previous section on "Body Alteration or Modification".
- Only one ring on each hand is permitted. A ring may be worn on any finger
