When I worked at a museum, I required the Interns to dress professionally. No holes in the clothing, no t-shirts, but nice pants or skirt and a nice button down shirt were to be worn. I never had a problem with the interns. The volunteers were required to wear the polo shirt and khakis and I did have problems with them. Often, the shirts were unkept (stains, holes, ect) and the khakis were just as bad! I did set more clear guidelines but it rarely helped.
