When appearing in court you should dress as if you were going to a job interview. This means you should NEVER wear shorts, cut-offs, tank-tops, flip-flops, or clothes printed with offensive language. In fact, many sheriffs may not even let you in the courtroom if you are wearing those types of clothes. In addition, your hair should be groomed and tattoos should be covered, if possible. If you are in the military, it may be a good idea to wear you uniform.
