courtroom attire

Trial clothing standard

Courtroom attire is the clothing considered appropriate for appearing in court—typically formal or business dress.

Judges may specify requirements, and litigants are often advised to dress conservatively: Her lawyer reminded her to wear courtroom attire to the hearing.

The term implies respectfulness toward the legal process.
