How to Dress for the Court Room

By adhering to a few suggestions regarding your manner of dress and self-presentation, you can avoid unintentionally making a poor impression on the judge who is assigned to your case. If you have a court appearance, remember the following:

  1. Conservative dress is a must – no matter how much you spent on your clothes, shoes, or hairstyle, you do not want to draw attention to your outfit
  2. Overdressing is preferable to being underdressed – men should wear a dark suit, shirt and tie while women should wear a dark dress or pant suit.
  3. Clean up – avoid a disheveled appearance. Wake up plenty in advance of your designated time to allow for you to take a shower, shave, and comb your hair.
  4. Less is more – avoid excessive amounts of jewelry, strong perfume or fragrance, revealing clothing or loud colors.
  5. Cover body art – cover tattoos and take out piercings if you can.

Above all, make sure you that you do not appear to be uncomfortable in the court room, despite the fact that it may be an unfamiliar and intimidating environment.
