What to Wear (and What Not to Wear) When Visiting Holmes CI

Shirts and shoes are required for all visitors at Holmes CI. Show up without either, and you'll be denied entry. Plan your outfit around these basics before you leave home.

  • ✓ Heelys (shoes with wheels)
  • ✓ Any footwear with removable parts

Dresses, skirts, and Bermuda-length shorts must fall no more than three inches above the knee. Quick check: if the hemline sits noticeably higher than where your fingertips land with your arms relaxed at your sides, swap to something longer.

If you’re 16 or older, bring a valid photo ID. You must present it to enter the visiting area, and showing up without it can stop your visit before it starts.
