Dress code at the border

The following is the unedited dress-code policy issued by the United Nations Command Military Armistice Commission for visitors to the Demilitarized Zone. Interestingly, if you're visiting the zone from North Korea, you can wear pretty much whatever you want:

The Following attire/appearance is specifically prohibited:

1. Shirts/Tops without sleeves or that expose the midriff and tank tops. Also shirts/tops with insulting, profane, provocative, big letters or demeaning representations.

2. No short pants /No skirt.

3. Any items of outer clothing of sheer variety.

4. Sports uniforms or athletic clothing of any kind including track pants or other stretch pants or warm-ups.

5. Shower and "flip-flops" shoes. No open toe and No high hill. No sandals.

6. Items of military clothing not worn as an integral part of a prescribed service uniforms.

7. Oversize clothing, commonly referred to as "gangster" clothes, including oversize baggy/long pants, t-shirts, or sweatshirts, and "biker" dress such as leather vests and leather riding chaps.

This document is not meant to cover every possible clothing/appearance situation. In all cases not otherwise specifically covered by this policy, the UNCSB-JSA guide will make a decision or acceptability to appearance. In the case where a visitor disputes the guide's determination, the UNC Armistice Commission representative will make final determination. Visitors who arrive at Camp Bonifas in inappropriate attire will be allowed to receive the UNC DMZ Education and Orientation Brief but will NOT be allowed to enter the UNCMACHA (JSA).
