Kuwait's Ministry of Information
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 2: The Information Ministry recently issued an administrative circular on the dress code for its employees. This is just one of the steps that the ministry has been taking to present a unified and professional image in line with its role and mission to represent Kuwait both locally and abroad. The directive aims to ensure that all employees and representatives maintain a consistent, appropriate and dignified appearance in all official settings. The circular -- signed by Undersecretary of the ministry Dr. Nasser Muhaisen and reviewed by the Office of Assistant Undersecretary for Television Affairs Turki Al-Mutairi -- stipulates the following:
- All employees and representatives are required to maintain a modest and professional appearance appropriate to their official duties.
- Male employees must wear the traditional national dress (dishdasha, ghutra and agal) while on duty, whether in the ministry or during official assignments locally and abroad. Alternatively, formal suits in muted and elegant colors may be worn at events or meetings where appropriate.
- Female employees must wear modest, formal clothing suited to the nature of their media work or external representation. Makeup should be applied moderately and tastefully.
- Wearing sportswear, casual attire or clothing bearing visible brand logos is strictly forbidden. Accessories or jewelry with brand insignias are also not permitted, as they detract from the professional appearance required in official capacities.
The ministry stressed that the dress code applies to all employees and representatives at official events, whether internal or external, domestic or international. Failure to comply with this directive will result in legal consequences, as the ministry is keen on upholding its professional standards and maintaining a dignified media presence in line with the official image of Kuwait
