Clean lines, muted colors and well fitting suits are appropriate for court.
While in court, you want to project an image that is calm, collected, polished and professional. Suits that fit correctly, have clean lines, simple colors and not filled with busy patterns will project that type of image. For both men and women, it's simple to put together a look that will be appropriate for attending court.
Suits for Women
Suits for women that are appropriate for court are pant suits and skirt suits with the skirt falling right below the knee or falling just above the knee. Pant suits with a jacket and simple dress shirt or shell top are appropriate. Colors such as grey, slate, navy, black, and burgundy will give a polished, professional appearance for court.
Suits for Men
Suits for men should include a suit jacket with a white or black dress shirt underneath. Colors for men'ssuits include black, navy and gray. The clothes give a nondescript appearance, which gives a calm professional look to the wearer for a day in court.
Accessories for Women
Accessories for women can include a solid color briefcase or purse in black, blue, brown or navy. These colors are muted and non-distracting. The briefcase and/or purse being carried to court should be medium sized and not overly large. The idea is to give the appearance of being professional and pulled together.
Accessories for Men
Accessories for men can include a briefcase in black, brown, gray or blue. These colors will coordinate well with their suit choices for court and do not reveal anything personal about the wearer, which is essential when in a court of law.
