It really depends on you. What do look best and feel best in?
If it's a bench trial, I think I'll dress like the judge. I look good in robes.

I like that era. I also like some Elvis.
What was that I said about hushing?

Eh? Speak up. The old FB farts are hard of hearing.

Be careful, though, about using the penis pump at counsel table.

Could you bring the screen closer, hon? The squinting doesn't work anymore.

Sidd - Your trial suits should be classic. The judge/jury should not notice what you are wearing. They should notice what you are saying. Sorry, but you need to save (or get) the cooler stuff for other occasions.
Dissent. If you have good facts, you'll win no matter what you wear (within reason). The "look conservative" thing is a myth offered by conservatives. You have no idea who's on the jury. My wardrobe scales from Eurofunky shit to super-conservative banker stuff (Hi PPNYC!). I've lost as many things as I've won in every kind of suit, including a seersucker (which I think judges and arbitration panels find amusing).

Some folks think the attention to dress advertises a lack of attention to the case itself. If you can do both, why not? With my ADD, I need anything the diverts the jury's eye from my occasional wandering. Ever find yourself in the middle of a direct and say "Fuck... where was this going?"

Sidd, 2 of these guys are dressed appropriately, possibly a little funeral-like, but still. The other, not so much. So if butthole urban is Sacramento, do not dress like the guy who works in Sacramento in this pic.

So one of the guys comes in and is telling me about Del the Funky Homosapien and this video he does where he's paging Mr. Bob Dobolina (hi Penske!). And I said, that was originally a Monkees song (hi Not Bob!). I said you know who the Monkees are, right?

Thankfully, he knew who the Monkees are. Were. But still. Felt like grandma.
I feel like a grandpa when I talk about Del's Mr. Bob Dobolina. That shit is old skool. (Hi john123!)

Tuxedo. Technically, it's proper.

I doubt it. I don't see you spending much time at the Suffolk Club.
