福克斯新闻独家报道:美国国务院首次在其内部政策手册中新增商务正装着装指导标准,为全体员工制定了统一的着装要求。
此次修订已于近日在《外交事务手册》——国务院核心政策汇编中生效,标志着该机构首次将外交官及工作人员在正式场合的着装要求正式纳入规章。
“代表美利坚合众国是一项荣誉——这项新政策确保我们的外交官展现出所服务国家的公信力、尊重与尊严,”助理国务卿迪伦·约翰逊对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
更新后的政策适用于国务院全体文职和外事服务人员。

此举凸显了国务院的整体战略调整,特朗普政府官员一直致力于在纪律、仪容和政策遵守方面制定更明确的标准。
一名国务院官员表示,此次调整部分源于担忧近年来部分外交官着装“过于随意”。
“这项政策早该推行了,”该官员说道。
正式着装规范标志着国务院背离了拜登政府时期优先考虑灵活性与文化包容性的人事政策,转而采用更统一、更具规范性的美国外交官形象标准。
《手册》中被福克斯新闻数字频道获取的内容写道:“合适的着装与仪容将取决于所承担的职责、工作环境,以及与外国对话者和其他外部利益相关者的互动级别。对于参加与外国对话者的会议或其他正式活动的工作人员,着装应为商务正装,个人仪容需整洁专业,另有规定的除外。”

此次着装规范更新是紧随国务院近期对员工评估和管理方式做出的其他调整而来,其中包括修订外事服务官员的录用和晋升标准。
2026年早些时候,国务院用以“忠诚”为核心的新准则取代了此前涉及多样性、公平性和包容性的考核指标,强调遵守美国政府政策和指挥链权威。

据福克斯新闻数字频道此前报道的内部文件显示,根据更新后的指导方针,中高级外交官需通过“热忱执行美国政府政策”以及在出现歧义时优先遵循领导层指示来展现忠诚。
这些调整与国务院重组员工队伍的 broader 举措同步推进,其中包括削减 staffing 和合并办公室的计划,这标志着国务院在外交人员管理上转向更标准化的期望。正式着装规范的出台是这一方向的最新举措。
No more casual: State Department imposes first-ever dress code on diplomats

The policy update marks the first time the agency has codified expectations for how staff should dress officially

FIRST ON FOX:The State Department has added business formal dress code guidance to its internal policy manual for the first time, establishing department-wide standards for employee attire.
The changes, implemented in recent days in the Foreign Affairs Manual — the department’s central repository for policies — mark the first time the agency has formally codified expectations for how diplomats and staff should dress in official settings.
“Representing the United States of America is an honor — and this new policy ensures our diplomats project credibility, respect, and the dignity of the nation we serve,” Assistant Secretary Dylan Johnson told Fox News Digital.
The updated policy applies broadly across the department for both civil service and foreign service employees.

The move underscores a broader recalibration at the State Department, where Trump administration officials have sought to impose clearer standards around discipline, appearance and adherence to policy.
A State Department official said the change was driven in part by concerns that some diplomats had been dressing “pretty informally” in recent years.
“This should have happened a long time ago,” the official said.
The formal dress code represents a shift away from Biden-era personnel policies that prioritized flexibility and cultural inclusivity, toward a more uniform and prescriptive standard for how U.S. diplomats present themselves.
“Appropriate attire and appearance will depend on the duties performed, the work environment, and the level of interaction with foreign interlocutors and other external stakeholders,” reads the manual, viewed by Fox News Digital. “For staff participating in meetings or other official engagements with foreign interlocutors, dress is Business Formal and personal appearance is polished and professional unless otherwise specified.”

The dress code update follows other recent changes to how the State Department evaluates and manages its workforce, including revisions to hiring and promotion criteria for Foreign Service officers.
Earlier in 2026, the department replaced diversity, equity and inclusion-related benchmarks with a new core precept focused on “fidelity,” emphasizing adherence to U.S. government policy and chain-of-command authority.

Under the updated guidance, mid- and senior-level diplomats are expected to demonstrate loyalty by “zealously executing U.S. government policy” and resolving ambiguity in favor of leadership direction, according to internal documents previously reported by Fox News Digital.
Those changes came alongside broader efforts to restructure the department’s workforce, including plans to reduce staffing and consolidate offices, signaling a shift toward more standardized expectations for diplomatic personnel. The addition of a formal dress code marks the latest step in that direction.
