Abstract

This article discussed the dress practice of female university students of English Letters Department Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University of Jakarta, Indonesia. The primary objectives of this research were to explore how these female students defined the dress they wore and how they responded to the university regulation on the student’s outfit and appearance written in the student’s Code of Ethic. This was a qualitative research with a cultural approach using the technique of observation and interview. The data resulted from interview then were analyzed using the concept of circuit of culture by Stuart Hall that focused on the regulation and consumption. The study showed that dress practice of female students at campus was a kind of negotiation to deal with the university regulation. The negotiation revealed they wore the dress as they wanted and based on their preferences as long as it covered their parts of intimate body suggested by university and Islam. More than that, Instagram as one of social media by which public figure was performed had the greatest factors influencing their appearance in campus purposed for beautiful look. Religion, however, has become the underpinning behavior of the student’s pity. The study could be one of the considerations for Islamic Universities or the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Indonesia when they are designing and making the regulation on how female Muslim student should dress properly based on Islamic perspective.
