My hometown paper, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, posted an interesting piece about the appropriateness of attorneys’ attire in the courtroom. Click here to read the story.

It’s a good topic to discuss, now that warmer temperatures have arrived; I’ve already seen the manicured toes of several female attorneys in the Westchester County Courthouse in recently weeks. I’ve found that fashion among female attorneys tend to vary; some wear only two-piece suits; others go more business casual with mix-and-match pieces and chunky accessories; still others wear outfits that could get them a spot on the TV show “What Not to Wear.”

The men in the Westchester courthouse almost always wear suits and ties, but a few of the suits look like they were purchased during the Reagan administration. Some of the ties can get pretty interesting, too, particularly during the holidays. As for male hairstyles, 99% are short and combed, but there is one defense lawyer in Westchester who is still rockin’ the Richard Marx look from 1987.
