<p>Is there any type of a dress code at Hopkins?</p>
<p>No. No dress code.</p>
<p>It’s a college. I would hope not.</p>
<p>No shirt, no shoes, no service.</p>
<p>Seriously though, I did send son off with a suit and associated accessories as well as a sports jacket, button down shirts and nice khakis. I think he has worn all if it at least once to various receptions etc.</p>
<p>Clothing optional.</p>
<p>It’s definitely worth bringing nice formal attire, you never know when you might need it. I’ve used mine many, many times in just two years for various things.</p>
<p>With that said, there is of course no dress code. That would be absurd.</p>
<p>There is a dress code. You are required to wear a pin stripped undershirt, a sweater vest, and an ascot. No ties, just ascots.</p>
<p>It doesn’t hurt to wear a nice shirt, pair of slacks, and polished shoes when going to the dean’s office.</p>
<p>I’m from the West Coast and when I got to Hopkins I had a bit of culture shock - a significant portion of the school dresses VERY preppy. Ralph Lauren polos tucked into pastel shorts with a belt and boat shoes. I had never seen anything like it. That said, you can where whatever you want; I have stuck to my roots and just rock jeans and a graphic tee wherever I go. Just bring formal wear for formal occasions and interviews, etc.</p>
<p>I know for a fact that son wears cargo pants and t-shirt (usually band themed) <em>everyday</em> including the one time he went to the deans office (no, he was not in trouble :D).</p>
