Hello everyone I was wondering if there is a USCF dresscode? I’m going to be playing some more OTB soon but, was wondering if there are things I should avoid wearing? Thanks in advance to anyone
I have been going to a couple of uscf tournaments and I wear whatever I want so...... no.

Okay thanks, that’s good to know! I’ve only played 1 OTB but, it was at a park and was a more casual setting so I wasn’t sure what others were like.
No lol
I try to go in chess shirt + chess socks but I don't think thats required
eh I personally wear shorts and a t-shirt... as long as its not too bad its fine
Not even close....although there will be cases that you wish there was atleast a hygiene code.
Don't wear blue and white colors to the U. of Louisville chess club; don't wear red and white colors to the U. of KY (Lexington) chess club. Not joking!

Do you mind if I ask why?
Just wear what you normally wear and it should be fine.
Why would you suggest that?? Obviously a special set of clothes is needed for a special occasion!! @ricorat, what you need is a lucky shirt, or maybe a lucky hat or something!!
I recommend wearing clothes idk if it’s mandatory though
If you don't wear clothes in public, you will be arrested for public indecency. You will spend some time in the county jail. But It is not mandatory though.

Yeah that’s probably a good idea xD

Hmmm not a bad idea except I don’t have anything that I’d consider lucky
A pretty universal principle for chess tournaments:
Do NOT distract your opponent.
From this principle you can assume the following rules:
1) No loud music/ headphones.
2) Touch move ( touching multiple pieces and squares is quite distracting)
3) Outside players cannot bring attention to illegal moves or time outs
So I would assume the guideline for dress would be to dress reasonably as to not distract anyone.

Thanks 
my clothing choice is usually just a plain t-shirt and some cargo pants so I think I should be fine
