A neat, comfortable outfit is a sensible starting point for jury duty, but there is no universal dress code. Check the instructions on your summons and your court’s jury-service page before you go; if the rules are unclear, contact the jury office. A plain shirt or blouse with comfortable trousers and a light layer works in many settings, but local requirements take priority.
How formal should you dress for jury duty?
It depends on the court. Some official guidance permits casual clothing, while other courts recommend business attire or list specific items jurors should not wear. Treat the summons and the court’s own guidance as the rule for your location—not examples from another court.

For instance, the UK Ministry of Justice says there is “no strict dress code” for jury service and gives jeans and a T-shirt as examples of comfortable clothing. That guidance applies to its UK jury-service context, not automatically to courts in the United States or elsewhere: UK Ministry of Justice jury-service guidance.

What to wear: practical outfit ideas
Casual, where the court allows it
Clean, intact jeans and a plain, modest top can be appropriate where local instructions permit casual clothing. The UK Ministry of Justice specifically names jeans and a T-shirt as an example; check your own court’s rules before relying on that example.
Business casual
Comfortable trousers or a modest skirt with a plain shirt, blouse, or sweater is a practical choice for courts that recommend business attire, as well as for jurors who want a neat, understated outfit. This is a suggestion, not a standard mandated combination.

Bring a layer
A cardigan, sweater, or jacket over your base outfit can help if the courtroom is cold.

Choose footwear for the day
