what should i wear to jury duty

For jury duty, wear clean, conservative business-casual clothing that shows respect for the court.

Good choices

• Slacks, khakis, or neat trousers.

• A collared shirt, blouse, or simple sweater.

• Closed-toe shoes that are comfortable for sitting and walking.

• A light jacket or sweater, since courtroom temperatures can vary.

Avoid

• Shorts, tank tops, mini-skirts, or ripped clothing.

• Clothing with suggestive language, offensive graphics, or overly loud logos.

• Flip-flops, cutoffs, or anything too casual.

Easy rule

If you would wear it to a nice office meeting, you are probably fine for jury duty.

Quick outfit ideas

• Men: khakis, collared shirt, loafers or clean sneakers, optional blazer.

• Women: slacks or a knee-length skirt, blouse, low-key flats or loafers, optional cardigan.
