Mischief Managed

Hello there, roleplayers of Mischief Managed,

In the last couple of weeks we have both been seeing and hearing about a lot people who aren't following the dresscode rules. As you might know we, as a roleplay community about Harry Potter, try to be as canon as we possibly can. Improper uniforms are NOT canon. Because of this we feel the need to re-inform you about the rules regarding the dresscode.

Please note that the dresscode is an IC violation, and has IC consequences such as detention or loss of house points. However if the OOC staff receives complaints about your uniform violations multiple times or even regularly, we will have to make this an OOC consequence and you will be warned OOCly or punished accordingly. Please continue on reading to make sure that you are safe with your current uniform; from now on, we are going to be more strict over this.

UNIFORMS SHOULD BE WORN:
— At all times during the weekdays (Mondays to Fridays) until 4PM SLT. After 4PM your character will be able to change into casual attire.
— During classes. This goes for classes in the weekend as well.
— To any event that requires a uniform. (We will tell you when a uniform should be worn and when not) This usually goes for assembly's and other IC meetings.

A PROPER UNIFORM FOR A MALE STUDENT:
— Tie of corresponding house.
— Level system house crest.
— Black, grey or dark trousers or dresspants. No shorts or capris, and not brown.
— White buttons up blouse/shirt.
— Black, grey or dark socks. NO stripes, argyle or other pattern.
— Black, grey or dark shoes. No heel is allowed to be over two inches: elaboration later on. Shoes should be closed at the toe, NO boots.



A PROPER UNIFORM FOR A FEMALE STUDENT:
— Tie of corresponding house.
— Level system house crest.
— Black, grey or dark trousers or dresspants.
— OR knee-length skirts of, again, black grey or dark color. Do not wear skirts that are too short: elaboration later on. No shorts or capris.
— White buttons up blouse/shirt.
— Black, grey or dark knee-length socks. Black tights are allowed as well, if sheer, only a little. Again, no stripes, argyle or other pattern.
— Black, grey or dark shoes or flats. No heel is allowed to be over two inches: elaboration later on. Shoes should be closed at the toe, NO boots.

OPTIONAL (BOTH GENDERS):
— Robes, with or without corresponding house colors.
— Black, grey or dark sweater.



HEELS AND SKIRTS:
—  As said, heels should not be higher than two inches. Some may want to go into discussion about this and about what may be a two-inch heel and what not, but this is an example of a REAL LIFE two-inch heel:




ANY HEEL higher than this is not allowed.
— Knee-length sock means knee-length sock. Anything higher than knee-length IS allowed, anything under knee-length is NOT allowed.
— Skirts. This is a big thing for all of us. However, knee-length means knee-length. We are aware that you won't always be able to wear a skirt that is -exactly- on the length of the knee. These are examples of an acceptable, knee-length skirt:




Anything SHORTER than this length is NOT acceptable. No miniskirts, not -anything- shorter than that. No Edelweiss skirts: we're sorry, and know that they are very pretty, but NO.
— No blazers or jackets.
— No string-tie, no bow-tie. Just a tie, nothing other than that.


CASUAL WEAR MAY BE WORN:
— In the common rooms.
— During the weekend, unless class, assembly or ceremony.
— After 4PM SLT.

You are free to wear whatever you like as casual attire however, this has certain limitations:
— No mini skirts. Skirts STILL have to be at least knee length.
— Tops that show cleavage. Cover yourself, this is PG.
— No pants or jeans that show buttcrack.
— No stilleto's or high heels.
— Do not show your underwear.
— Shirts or tops should be long enough to reach at least the top of your pants. No midriff-skin should be shown in any way.
— Fingernails should be kept short. No prim nails.



NOT ALLOWED FOR STUDENTS:
— Facial/navel/any kind of piercing. The only piercings that are allowed are those on the ears, and even then, keep those to a minimum.
— Tattoo's.
— Cigarettes - this may result into a ban.
— Alcohol - this may result into a ban.
— Drugs - this may result into a ban.

NOT ALLOWED FOR PROFESSORS:
— Tattoo's that aren't PG-13.
— Cleavage and buttcrack, same here, cover yourself up.

WHAT ISN'T ALLOWED FOR ANYONE (THESE WILL ALL RESULT INTO AN INSTANT BAN):
— No genitalia showing.
— Elf ears.
— Cat ears/nose/tails, horns/hooves, and anything remotely anthropomorphic.
— Anything related to pornography.
— Guns or any other weapons. Wand does not count as a weapon.
— Preggo bellies or prim/mesh breasts.
— Unnatural colored or streaked hair. This means no hair in the colors purple, blue, orange, yellow or any other color of the rainbow.

Keep to these rules both IC and OOC. We take these rules very serious and so should you! It is not fair towards your fellow roleplayers, who try to keep things canon and PG. It's almost Valentines, we got some stuff in store for you! Happy roleplaying.
