I tell my clients no cleavage and no spike heels in court
The no giggling rule should apply as well.
“I tell my clients no cleavage and no spike heels in court”
I refuse to dress like a man while in court. I NEVER wear pants. I never show any inappropriate skin but I do wear STILETTOS. That’s right people, stilettos. My “uniform” for court is a fashionable jacket, pencil skirt cut right at the knee, panty hose (my younger counterparts refuse to wear them), and a classic close toe “spike heel”(think classic Jacqueline Kennedy). I have never left the courthouse without someone (usually men) stopping me and complementing my attire. Smart women do not have to dress like a tart to get attention (does anyone say “tart” any more?)
As for my clients, they usually follow my lead with conservative attire after seeing what I wear in the office, but I do feel your pain. Unfortunately, more often then not, it is the female attorney whose attire is sexually inappropriate. They get away with it all the time. So sad.
