As FFA members, we have the opportunity to impact many people who may or may not be familiar with the organization: Community residents, businessmen and women, FFA sponsors, guests, parents, etc.

Therefore, first impressions are crucial, and that involves the way we dress. ALL FFA members are required to wear official dress while participating in official activities

Female Official Dress

• Black skirt.
  Skirt is to be at least knee length, hemmed evenly across the bottom, with a slit no longer than 2 inches above the knee, excluding the kick pleat. Black slacks may be appropriate for traveling and outdoor activities.
• White collared blouse and official FFA blue scarf.
• Black dress shoes with a closed heel and toe (No boots, sandals, open-toed shoes, or tennis shoes.)
