So reading through alot of the stuff, I really haven't found exactly what guys need to wear. Mainly for the proffesional attire. Anyone want to help me out?

Professional: Dinner jacket (aka sports/suit jacket), button up shirt, tie, dress slacks, dress shoes (colors are fine).
Relaxed Prof: All of the above but you don't have to wear the dinner jacket (and you may be able to loosen or take off the tie)..you may also be able to wear a short sleeve polo: don't hold me to it though.


Po Tee Weet?

Professional is shirt, tie and slacks.

Relaxed professional for me was normally a polo and dress slacks, often with a sport coat, but thats just me

Well, they didn't really say anything to us, but they gave us weird looks. The first time you actually have the casual choice, it's kind of weird because you get used to everyone in suits and dresses, when they change into their normal clothes sometimes it's like wow i never imagined you dressed like that.

Umm....I don't know. My FA wore regular shorts (like something you'd pick up in AE or Aeropostle, you know)..

They really don't elaborate about relaxed...

That didn't really answer my question. Are you allowed to wear sweats or basketball shorts at all. as in on the relaxed dress day.

I'm pretty sure neither of us knows darling - I would stick with regular shorts or basketball shorts...I can guarantee you that you DO NOT need sweats in DC during the summer.

In my opinion, wear the kind of shorts you'd find in like Aeropostle, AE, Hollister, etc. You can take basketball shorts of course, but don't yell at us if an FA tells you that you have to ditch them. I never saw any basketball shorts or sweats at my NYLC either, so I really just...don't have a clue about this one.

You could always e-mail someone at CYLC and find out for sure though.

A Few Questions...
Will we have access to washing machines?
How many people to a room?
How many days of each dress type are there? (How many casual, professional, etc.)

First question...

you will have access to some wash equipment I believe, but you won't have time to do it.

There's 3 people to a room.

I'm not sure how many days of each dress type there are. Some days you'll have different programs/meetings that require different styles of dress.

During relaxed I would suggest you stick to khaki pants/slacks and polos.

yes, you will be required to wear suit coats/blazers, along with a shirt and tie almost daily.
