You want to look like you belong there. That means no ripped jeans, no yoga pants (even the fancy ones), and no pajama bottoms. I know, I know—but it’s a courtroom, not your couch.
A good rule of thumb: wear something you’d wear to a casual business meeting with your favorite aunt. Think dark denim (no holes), a solid-colored shirt, and a nice scarf or simple jewelry. You want to look like a grown-up who has their life together, even if you just ate cereal for breakfast.

The no-no list
Let’s get specific. No flip-flops. They’re loud, they slide off, and they scream “I’d rather be at the beach.” No spaghetti straps—you might have to raise your hand, and you don’t want to worry about a wardrobe malfunction. No super short skirts or shorts. You’ll be sitting down for ages, and you don’t want to be tugging at your hem the whole time.
Also, leave the perfume or cologne at home. That courtroom is a small, enclosed space. You don’t want to be the person who makes the entire jury pool sneeze. Subtle is the name of the game.
