👔 Better Overdressed than Underdressed 🪅
Hi fabulous readers of Vietnam WUDC 2024,
Guess who’s back with a dose of style straight from the vibrant streets of Saigon? Well, better buckle up! We’ve got the inside scoop on how to dress to impress, day and night of the whole tournament!
In this episode, let me take you on a tour around Saigon to feel this season’s weather and picture yourself in fashionable pieces.
But first, let us remind you again that the Color Code for ALL NIGHTS are: 𝐑𝐞𝐝, 𝐘𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 & 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞. Feel free to choose other shades within this hue range. If you don’t have these colors in your closet, Black & White would do just fine!
Now, wait no more, let’s go!
For Casual Looks: How to Shine Bright while Staying Cool?
From 27th December to 4th January 2024, Saigon will be turning up the heat, literally!
Although it is forecasted to be quite sunny during the day, rest assured that the early morning and post-golden-hour o’clock will be a lot chillier.
And just a word of advice from us locals: Do not forget your sunscreen! SPF is crucial to protect your skin. So while we’re at that, why not add a touch of glam and an added layer of sun protection by bringing your jacket? We recommend something light and breezy to keep you cool and comfy all day long.
How about those Special Party Nights?
Now, let's talk parties! You know about Vietnam WUDC's dress code already, right? If not, here's your golden ticket and potential options 👇
Opening Ceremony — Formal (And Elegant)
Upon the launch of this epic journey, putting on your best look may (very likely!) help you manifest success later in the tournament!
Imagine yourself in formal, classy outfits.
Suits, ties, and bows
Gowns, styled with taste
You will be the boss of the stage!
Vietnam Night — Nation Pride On Display
Time to flaunt your roots! Bring out the national costumes, and add a dash of your modern flair. Be the epitome of uniqueness and embrace the borderless intercultural exchange of this event because darling, you're the star!
Break Announcement Celebration — Cocktail Formal: Slay All The Way
It's time to unleash your inner slay-queen. Go festive, go vibrant—because the celebration demands it. This is your moment to shine!
Closing Ceremony — Formal (And Polished)
We believe a challenging journey deserves serious celebration.
Therefore, imagine a slight twist from the Opening Ceremony: Think formal, but polished.
As this night marks the end of our incredible journey, think of this not as a recommendation, but an invitation to let your style shine!
Stay cool and stay fabulous, we’ll see you here in Vietnam 🇻🇳

📍 Vietnam WUDC 2024 Electronic Devices Policy: https://shorturl.at/aeEMT
The WUDC 2024 Equity Team takes accessibility very seriously. We believe that there should be equal opportunity for everyone to participate and achieve at this year's WUDC regardless of their access needs.
With this form, you can request the use of electronic equipment for digital note-taking during debates at Vietnam WUDC 2024. Please note that some sort of proof has to be provided in order to establish that you meet the criteria and minimize the possibility of abuse. This can include but is not limited to doctor's notes (specialist or general practitioner's) or proof of accommodation/adjustments from universities and other educational institutions.
We want to be accommodating for all accessibility issues so if you are in doubt as to what qualifies as proof, please do reach out to us.
Please note that use of the internet for matter generation or access to online case files during rounds or prep time remains strictly prohibited, and any such use of electronic devices will be considered abuse of policy and an equity violation.
All information collected with this form is collected solely for the purpose of establishing that a participant meets criteria for exclusion from the traditional note taking policy and will be kept strictly confidential to the equity team (although a list of approved individuals will be shared with the Organising Committee/Adjudication Core).

Everybody can make a half-decent argument about the minority of the minority, everybody can pretend to have an extension by saying “structural reasons”, and surely everybody can say “delta” half a million times in 7 minutes.
