The only thing I could think of is making sure any skirt is not so short that it "rides up" when you are sitting down. I'm sure you'll look fine though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/court-appearance#post-175275 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 02:59:59 +0000 Dashrashi 175275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Witnesses often wear business-casual (the smart ones, anyway). I think open-toed shoes are fine. However, I would recommend against platform bright red patent-leather knee-high boots with jeans tucked in and a matching red jacket. It didn't inspire confidence within the jury box in the trial that I saw, unfortunately (I REALLY don't think it should matter, but it does). I've also seen jeans and a t-shirt, so basically, if you're thinking about it, you'll come up with something appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/court-appearance#post-175177 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:15:13 +0000 Refugee 175177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really have any suggestions to offer after jwomack's expert testimony. I just wanted to wish you luck. I know I'd be nervous having to testify in court. I'm sure you'll be fine and smartly attired for the occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/court-appearance#post-175107 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 22:13:47 +0000 marianna 175107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that a nice skirt or trousers, button down shirt, and pumps would be a safe bet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/court-appearance#post-175081 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 21:00:58 +0000 jwomack 175081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As an attorney, I have seen lots of witnesses in court. I have seen everything from t-shirts and ripped jeans to (I am not kidding) a prom dress. Basically, think about the impression you want to make because first impressions matter in court. I don't think you need a suit or anything but a nice pair of pants, blouse or nice top with maybe a cardigan (it can be cold in court rooms) or a casual dress (no cleavage exposed, etc.). Basically error on the busines casual side. As for shoes, I don't think open-toed are a no-no if they are a little more conservative -- no wild shoes. I would probably try to a pump (even with open toe) or low kitten heel slides. To be honest, the shoe is really the least important part in this scenario. If you actually get to testify (which by the way, court never happens when they say and cases get continued constantly), the only time anyone will see your shoes is when you walk to and from the witness stand. Most witness stands that I have seen our enclosed so your feet and lower body are covered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/court-appearance#post-175076 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 20:54:32 +0000 rute 175076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear something like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.pollsb.com/photos/o/94588-white_blouse_dolce_gabbana_pencil_skirt_killer_red_belt_sunsilk_event_2_19_08.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.pollsb.com/photos/o....._19_08.jpg</a></p> <p>If you don't want to wear sandals go for flats!</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/court-appearance#post-175070 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 20:48:08 +0000 kh 175070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a subpoena to appear in court as a witness for a car accident I was in last month. </p> <p>While I'm nervous about what will happen at court, it doesn't help that I'm nervous about what to wear! Am I silly? </p> <p>Give me some suggestions especially for shoes. All my summer shoes are mostly open toe. I have no idea if one should wear open toe to court. </p>
