Review of Concert Attire and Travel Attire



Concert Attire

Formal Performances

Men
All black.  All covered.  Closed toe flat shoes.  

Men will wear black dress shoes, black socks, black dress pants, and a black long-sleeved dress shirt.  We recommend a black undershirt. A tie is not required, but if desired, it should be solid black.  Men's black dress shirts should be tucked in, and worn with a black dress belt.  No sport coat, tux coat, or suit coat is needed; save yourself packing space, and leave it at home.  


Women
All black.  All covered.  Closed toe flat shoes.  

Ladies will wear black closed toe dress shoes without heals with either black dress pants or a floor length black skirt.  In addition they should wear a black dress shirt with either full or 3/4 length sleeves (must extend past elbow).  A tie is not required, but if desired, it should be solid black. A belt may be worn, or not worn, depending on the design of the pants. Dress shirts may be worn tucked or untucked, depending on how the specific shirt is designed to be worn.  



Less-Formal Performances

There will likely be at least one, if not two, performances in which students will wear their tour jersey instead of their black dress shirt.  This would only impact shirts; everything else, from the waist down, remains the same.  



Airline/Airport Travel Attire

Students and staff will wear the following when we depart, as we fly from Chicago to Dublin, and Dublin to Paris.  The same will also be worn on the return flight from Frankfurt to Dublin, and Dublin to Chicago.  

  • Tour Futbol Jersey (please wear a black, white or gray under-shirt with the jersey) 
  • Nice jeans or khaki pants (No holes of any kind, and not sagging.  No underwear visible from anywhere.) Shorts, athletic pants, yoga pants (any skin tight pants) are not appropriate for group travel.
  • Students may wear a belt with their pants if the pants are designed to accommodate a belt, and the belt is needed. However jerseys may be worn untucked, and a belt is not required.  
  • You most comfortable walking shoes (tennis shoes are okay).
Please Note:  Students should pack a fresh shirt in their carry-on bag.  Once we clear Customs we will use an airport restroom to change shirts prior to leaving the airport and beginning our initial touring.
