Question: do uk barristers wear wigs?
Answer: Wigs are so much a part of British criminal courts that if a barrister doesn't wear a wig, it's seen as an insult to the court. Barristers must wear a wig slightly frizzed at the crown, with horizontal curls on the sides and back. ... In the 17th century, only the elite wore powdered wigs made of horsehair.
