Slasque
Put on the ouvve! Sometimes there is also a theme for the slasque. Then you can add theme-appropriate clothing on top of the ouvve.
Dressed Ouvve
This is a dress code we very seldom use, similar to jacket it is an ouvve with a nicer top part.
Jacket
Nicer everyday clothes. A blazer combined with something else, or just something that makes you feel good.
(We rarely have this dress code)
Dark suit
A dark suit or a nicer dress. A regular blue suit is also fine, or a skirt with a top as well.
Formal attire
Long dress or tailcoat, but a dark suit is also fine.
Ouvve
Why would you want a ouvve?
The ouvve is a student's best friend for several reasons. The first reason is that you, the student, never have to think ¨what should I wear tonight¨ when the dress code is ouvve, it's simple and predetermined. The second reason is that you don't have to worry about getting your clothes dirty. The ouvve is there for you to use on occasions where you want to enjoy the moment to the fullest, without worrying about your clothes getting messy. Never forget: a dirty ouvve is a good ouvve. The ouvve is your best friend during nollning, but also throughout your time here at LTH. It's a garment you'll wear more than anything else and love every single time. No two ouvves are alike, because you get to design yours exactly how you want but more on that in upcoming sections!
Ouvve Traditions
With the ouvve come several traditions! These traditions are, of course, nothing you have to follow, but it's fun if you do! The first and most well-known tradition is that you're not allowed to wash your ouvve... There are, however, two exceptions to this tradition: the first is that you're allowed to wash it while wearing it if you swim in Sjön Sjøn. The second is that you're allowed to shower with it on if it has accumulated 5 different bodily fluids. Many also like to cut off one leg to make a TLTH rainbow leg. This involves cutting strips from one leg of your ouvve and trading them with engineering students from other guilds, and if you manage to collect a strip from everyone, you'll end up with a stylish rainbow leg. Just remember that you're not allowed to bring scissors to many of the events, so check carefully for that beforehand too! When it comes to decorating your ouvve, there's a lot you can do everything from drawing to sewing things on really, only your own creativity sets the limit. What usually takes up the most space on someone's ouvve, though, are patches!
Patches
During nollning, and at events after nollning, you'll come across several places where you can buy patches! Patches are great fun to have on your ouvve as a memento of the events you've attended, and they make your ouvve look even better! When it comes to attaching patches, there are really only two options: gluing them with fabric glue or sewing them on by hand. Gluing is much faster and easier, but when you sew a patch on yourself, it stays on much better. A tip from an older student: many patches have fabric backing. After a while, that backing fabric can come loose from the patch itself while still being stuck to the ouvve (if you glued it on). If you're up for it, you can try peeling off the backing fabric before gluing the patch on, in hopes that it'll stick better. There are a few things to keep in mind when gluing on a patch. You want to put weight on top of the patch after gluing it so it dries flat and neat. You'll also want to put something between the two sides of the fabric on the inside of the leg, so the ouvve doesn't get glued shut! Lastly, when it comes to patches: people usually put the ones closest to their heart on the pockets, and the one closest to their heart of all goes right on the crotch seam between the pockets.
