Adults characters at Mischief Managed have more freedom than their underage counterparts when dressing themselves for the sim. However, there are a few IC rules and regulations you must abide by. Be mindful that whilst these are IC rules, you may have a boss who could pull you up for unprofessional attire!
As there are different types of adult characters on sim, we will break down the dress code for each part of the sim.
Hogwarts Staff
Due to the environment where Hogwarts faculty work, we expect a certain level of professionalism and modesty when roleplaying a Professor at Hogwarts. You are effectively spending time around young, underage characters and your outfit, style, and appearance should reflect this. You should set an example to your students, however most of the rules around dress code are IC
These IC rules are for during term time, faculty may dress within the general adult rules in their downtime outside of the castle.
IC Rules
- Professional working attire
- Low cut tops should be of a reasonable cut
- Skirts should be no shorter than mid-thigh
- No shorts
- No platform heels
- No jeans during working hours
The Ministry of Magic
IC Rules
- Work wear should be modest and professional
- Clothing worn for undercover work will be outlined and approved by department heads
Adults
Adults outside of the two main working environments, or Hogwarts Faculty and Ministry Staff when not at work, have the flexibility to wear whatever is comfortable for them, and within the OOC rules. We encourage immersion and dressing to the theme and mirroring what would be acceptable in a public setting in real life.
General Dresscode
- Skirts and shorts should cover your character’s bottom
- If there are any concerns about the appropriateness of skirt or short length, you may be contacted by a moderator
- Swimwear should be as appropriate as possible.
- If there are any concerns about the appropriateness of swimwear, you may be contacted by a moderator
- At Mischief Managed we strive to be as welcoming and accepting as possible of gender identity. We allow those who identify with the masculine end of the spectrum to wear clothing or swimwear without tops. For those who identify with the feminine end of the spectrum, we do require your top to be covered. Non-binary players are always welcome to contact the moderator department if any questions arise over this discrepancy.
OOC CLOTHING INFRACTIONS
Breaking any of the following rules will result in enforcement of The Strike System, with severity deemed by the OOC Staff member at hand.

- Excessive/unnatural physics

We hope you understand.
