Court with a judge. I don't like wearing heels so all I have is slides and sneakers.

Traffic court for a speeding ticket?
Sure.


Small claims civil court? Maybe $1,000 on the line…probably okay but the leggings are a hard pass. This isn’t a gym.


Civil court for a lawsuit of substantial outcome?
No way.



Criminal court for a potential prison sentence?
Absolutely not. You are choosing poorly. A jury will make assumptions about you based on minimal information and what you wear sends a strong (even if unintended) message of who you are and how serious you are taking this matter. Speak to your attorney and find out what they recommend. I’m almost all cases for men this is a suit, and most of the time the same for women too.

Why are you in court? If you are a defendant, sued or charged with a crime, sneakers and leggings are totally inappropriate, and may hurt your case. A nice conservative dress and shoes (flats, not heels) is what the court expects, and what will help your case.

Most inappropriate, as is the black leggings and shirt. smh

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHO.

I wish I could see your sneakers, but based on your outfit description, it sounds like you're aiming for a sleek, athletic look with your black leggings and casual shirt. If the sneakers are athletic and supportive, they should be fine for the court. Comfort and support are key, especially if you'll be active. How do you feel in them?

Do not wear sneakers to court. Wear something moderate and respectable

[TommyMountainFigure]

If by 'court' you mean tennis court then yes, otherwise, no!

[DryGermanGuy]

Mhm... could be worse. But here the leggings are the inappropriate part.

[handsomelad70]

Not if you want to be thought frivolous by all involved, which could adversely affect your case.

[SotiCoto]

Who cares? It is just a court and everyone else will be dressed like clowns.

[DrPepper12]

Dress for what you want, I'm guessing that's not prison.

[MacDaddyRico]

Looks fine to me; is the court clay or asphalt?
Black's not a good color to play tennis in during Summertime, though.

[In_Trance]

They take your shoes once your sentenced so wear something cheap

[OtterMan68]

Tennis court? Yes.

[Asker]

No court with a judge.

[TommyMountainFigure]

@OtterMan68 Oh good, it wasn't just me who thought that then!

[HawkPerception]

Anything is as long as you're the jury.

[Siri137]

Black leggings? NO!

[Flower7]

No sneakers are appropriate for court.

[laly520]

um no

[Anonymous]

None of that sounds court appropriate

[Anonymous]

Probably not.
