Attire for Court Appearances

Adjudicating the law is a serious matter, and therefore the Simpsonville Municipal Court is a serious place of official business. All visitors must wear clean clothes that fit, including shirts and shoes. Hats are not to be worn in the courtroom.

Unacceptable Attire

  • T-shirts, muscle shirts or tank tops
  • Shirts that are too short or too tight, dirty or torn
  • Clothing with offensive, racist, sexist, vulgar or obscene words, slogans, depictions or graphics
  • Shorts, cut-off shorts or baggy pants
  • Hats
  • Skirts or dresses above the knee
  • Clothing indicating gang affiliation or intended to provoke emotion, disrupt or distract
  • Low-cut tops

A good rule of thumb is if you are unsure about whether your outfit is appropriate, then your attire is probably inappropriate.
