First impressions are important. Your appearance is the first thing that opposing counsel and juries will notice about you. You want to show that you respect the courtroom or proceeding and that you are taking the matter seriously. You don’t have to wear a suit and tie, but there is a big difference between a pair of slacks with a button down shirt rather than flip flops, shorts and a tank top.
Imagine you interviewing for a job. Dress professionally and conservatively. Men should wear pants and a button down shirt, or if you have a suit and/or jacket wear it. Make sure you are well groomed, clean shaven or with your beard trimmed and neat. Women should choose a dark colored pant or skirt suit, a modest dress or a skirt or slacks and a blouse. Conservative is key, makeup should be natural and neutral.
Avoid excessive jewelry and wear clothing that sufficiently cover tattoos. You have one chance to make a first impression and you want your testimony to be what garners attention, not what you are wearing.
