What to wear to jury duty

Most courts ask jurors to dress business casual: collared shirts, blouses, sweaters, chinos, tailored trousers, and skirts or dresses of a modest length. You do not need a suit. What courts commonly turn away is clothing that is too casual or could distract, such as shorts, tank tops, flip-flops, hats and T-shirts with slogans or pictures.

Neutrality matters too. A juror should not signal an opinion, so leave out clothes with political, religious or sports messages and anything with large logos. Your summons or the court's juror page usually spells out its own rules; read it before the day.

Then dress for a long day of sitting. Courtrooms are often cold, so wear a layer like a cardigan or a sweater, and choose shoes you can walk in through security and long corridors.

Blouse and tailored trousers

A soft blouse with tailored trousers is business casual at its most comfortable for a day of sitting. Cream and camel say nothing about you, which is what a juror wants.

Sweater and trousers

Sweater and trousers

A grey merino crewneck over a collared shirt keeps you warm in an air-conditioned courtroom and still looks neat. It suits anyone and comes off when the room warms up.

Dress and cardigan

Dress and cardigan

A knee-length navy dress with a cream cardigan is modest, comfortable and easy to adjust to a cold courtroom; ballet flats help with the walking.

Take a full-body photo

Stand back so your whole body is in the frame, head to toe, facing the camera. A mirror selfie or a photo someone takes of you both work. Fitted clothes and even light work best.
