Below are some examples of what NOT to wear:

How dapper! But sadly,
these pants are too tight.
Remember, you’re going to
need to move around
comfortably in your khakis
and be prepared for some
serious freeze tag sessions.

Nice corduroys, but
unfortunately not
appropriate for
service. (and they’re
the wrong color!)

An example of metal
rivets, noticeable
stitching and the
elusive 5th pocket –
these definitely are
khaki jeans, which
also are not allowed.

Super cute, but they
are a little too short for
service. Remember,
your pant legs must
meet the tops of your
laces and cover over
your shoes.

How can I tell the difference between khaki jeans and khaki pants?

Jeans typically
have 5 pockets and metal rivets near the waist. Also, the stitching on jeans is more noticeable. Regular
khaki pants do not have these types of adornments.
