I only work varsity games. I have a pretty standard dress for before hand -- khakis, dress shoes, button down shirt or nice sweater. Other officials here in Wisconsin will wear jeans and sweatshirts and pretty much anything. No "official" code here, but my football crew wears no jeans, etc. either. We feel we're being "evaluated" the second we arrive, so dressing nice helps.

Interested to see what others wear to the gym/field, etc.
For Tournaments I wear the standard nice shirt,nice shoes, and a sports jacket. For a regular season game I wear a tie, dress pants,nice shoes and a jacket.. In my Assoc. of 300 refs I'm pretty much considered the best dressed, though I never made that list of best dressed people.

Around these parts it doesn't seem to hurt people who dress however they want,but it definetly helped me by dressing the part of a professional.
