My apologies for the mis-gendering. Essex is a place beyond the reach of civilisation. If you go there, take shiny objects to barter with the natives.
You have only visited a limited area of Essex, I assume. Anyone else open these threads just to look for BV72 offering his latest legal smack down coupled with tales from the bench/rusty old cars/travels of a well spoken gentleman in the legal profession?
OP, follow the advice, get someone who specialises in these cases, listen to them and do as you are told and it will be what it will be.

It's quite alright. It's very common on PH, especially since I like to discuss engineering topics and driving technique rather than asking for help in finding a pair of eyelashes for my car - although admittedly I do own a hairdresser's car. But when critiquing the style of dress of "men" it's perhaps more useful to understand the gender perspective.And to the person who said it pays to look smart. That's as true in a magistrate's court as it is anywhere else. They say one should dress as if unknowingly about to meet the future love of a lifetime. I should listen to them.

A first. Sartorial critique with added hate. Salesmen beware. Smarten yourselves up. And wear socks!
Point of detail. He was hating on wannabe salesmen. Maybe he loves all salesmen but hates the wannabes. Or..., maybe not.Talking of salesmen (or should I perhaps say pimps?), it pains me to say that - with one exception* - all known barrister's clerks get the suits right but always get the shoes and the cufflinks wrong. It is how you can spot the difference between the barrister and the clerk when at a drinks do.
* The Senior Clerk of Blackstone Chambers - he has the right suits, and also the right shoes and cufflinks. I add that female barrister's clerks are usually as well dressed as female barristers, which is to say very well dressed indeed.
Well polished Oxfords and some simple understated cufflinks?

Shoes - properly made on a last, options vary...Well polished Oxfords and some simple understated cufflinks?
Cufflinks - enamel / silver / gold - no naff pretend ones (golf balls / rugby balls / etc.)
Traditional and understated
