What do I wear?

What do I wear to the BR hearing?

I haven't got a clue!

Just so you know Swampmonster (why did I pick that name) is a female of the species!

    whatever you're comfortable in, i guess i was smart/casual black trousers work top and shoes, but i don't think it would have made a jot of difference what i had been wearing!
  • I wore jeans, shoes a shirt and a jumper. Don't go in wearing Gucci boots and a Rolex while carrying a £1000 handbag :)

  • im off in jeans when i decide to go threw with it
  • Smart casual and nothing flashy I think. I was thinking respectful but not bling/flashy. Not that I've got any bling!!

    My solicitor said wear what you like but most folks were in smart casual or suits.
  • Wear something that shows respect, smartish.

    I agree with the above advice, sm. I think that you should dress comfortably and that your appearance should be compatible with the 'respect' that the Court commands.
    Spiked orange hair, Gucci handbag with matching Versace gown, might not earn you much sympathy. ;)

    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    I wore a black two piece suit, white shirt and heels. I didn't go nuts with the makeup but to be honest if I'd have worn overalls I would have been smarter than most of the people that were there that day.

    I was stuck sitting next to a fog-horn Lil wearing a shell suit and flip-flops with the mouth the size ofi the channel tunnel.

    She had her papers struffed in a tesco carrier bag and was telling anyone who would acknowledge her existence why she was in court for the day.

    The second description I guess is the perfect example of what not to wear?

    Wear what feels good for you, the last thing you would want is to be uncomfortable as well as the anxiety you are bound to be feeling.
