Dress Code
The International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) regulates dress codes for competitive vaulting. Every 2-3 years, new guidelines are released, which consistently declare that vaulters must wear formfitting uniforms that do not conceal the line and form of the vaulter's body, as well as not hinder the movement of the vaulter or the safe interaction between the vaulters. For that reason, accessories such as belts, capes or hats are prohibited. Additionally, men’s trousers must be secured at the ankle. It is also expected that clothing be appropriate for the competition and does not give the effect of nudity. The most common formfitting uniforms worn by vaulters are unitards.

Famous quotes containing the words dress and/or code:
“The swimming hole is still in use. It has the same mudbank. It is still impossible to dress without carrying mud home in one’s inner garments. As an engineer I could devise improvements for that swimming hole. But I doubt if the decrease in mother’s grief at the homecoming of muddy boys would compensate the inherent joys of getting muddy.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“Motion or change, and identity or rest, are the first and second secrets of nature: Motion and Rest. The whole code of her laws may be written on the thumbnail, or the signet of a ring.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
