2. Dress Smartly

When it comes to dressing professionally, you always want to dress the part. What people wear in court is generally business attire – meaning a suit or formal dress for women and suits/dress shirts with ties for men. A nice outfit that shows respect will go far when trying to make a good impression on those who are deciding your case!

3. Go For A Sleek Style

This means showing up to court in tailored pants or a tailored trouser suit, or even something as simple as a clean dress shirt or blouse.

4. Wear Neutral Colors

Avoid bright colors. These tend to be distracting in a professional setting. Instead, we recommend wearing neutral solid colors like black, navy blue, grey, white, cream and beige. 

What Outfits To Wear In Court

1. Button-Up Blouse + Sleek Pants

In our opinion, the best option (and also the most classic one out of the rest when it comes to legal proceedings) is a simple button-up blouse or a long-sleeved dress shirt tucked into a pair of sleek, tailored straight-leg dress pants. You can also go for a collared shirt or a nice blouse, and a pair of slacks.

2. Simple Black Dress

When in doubt, just go for a simple black dress that is also modestly styled. Avoid dresses with spaghetti straps (if you have no other option, cover yourself up with a blazer). 

3. Trouser Suit / Blazer & Pants

Another option to go for are trouser suits since these will make you look confident and sleek. You can opt for a matching blazer and pants suit, or you can wear a neutral blazer with different colored pants.

4. Modest Top + Pencil Skirt
