FIDE has finally updated its dress code for the FIDE Grand Swiss 2025, and the big news is, players can now officially wear jeans! This historic decision comes just eight months after Magnus Carlsen’s famous controversy, where the World Champion was fined and disqualified for wearing jeans at a top chess event. The new rules allow “appropriate jeans” dark, non-distressed denim in blue, black, or grey, alongside suits, shirts, and even sneakers.
This move marks a major shift in the world of professional chess, breaking away from decades of rigid dress codes. From comfort to practicality, players like Carlsen and even legends like Viswanathan Anand had long pushed for change, and FIDE has finally listened.
In this video, we break down what the new dress code means, why it was changed, and how it will impact future tournaments. Will this bring more flexibility and inclusivity to chess, or is it too casual for a world-class sport? Watch till the end to find out!
