00:00When you're due in court, sometimes the last thing on your mind is what to wear.
00:04But it shouldn't be.
00:06Appearance is a big part of any courtroom visit.
00:09There are no specific guidelines for dressing in court, but it can only help knowing some rules of thumb.
00:14That's right. Attire matters.
00:17No, a tire, not a tire.
00:20What would you do with one tire, anyway?
00:23Sorry.
00:24Listen, whatever the circumstance of your court visit is, it's never okay to look like you don't care.
00:29We're not saying this is a black-tie affair.
00:32But leave the ripped vintage Pac-Man t-shirt for another day.
00:36Dress respectful, like you're going on a job interview.
00:40An office job interview.
00:42That's it.
00:44And like an old Italian grandmother would tell you at the dinner table,
00:48no hats inside.
00:50With that being said, make sure you groom yourself, including your hair and face.
00:55Don't overdo it on fragrance.
00:57This isn't speed dating.
00:59Avoid excessive jewelry, or any if possible.
01:02Remember, you have to go through metal detectors.
01:05As for anything we haven't covered, just think,
01:08no unnecessary accessories like shoulder parrots or Ghostbuster proton packs.
01:13Bottom line, no matter the reason for being there,
01:16you want to show that you respect the courtroom.
01:19Doing otherwise can only hurt you.
