Dress
Senior Counsel may informally style themselves as silks, like their British counterparts. This is the case in Ireland, Australia, Hong Kong, and South Africa.
In Hong Kong, Senior Counsel (men or women) must wear the black stuff and silk gown. When wigs are worn, they should cover the hair.
Junior counsel do not wear the full gown, but the dress code remains conservative and black. In the Republic of Ireland Junior Counsel continue to wear a black gown with tabs worn around the neck. The wig is optional in the Republic of Ireland. Senior Counsel wear a silk's gown which differs from that of a Junior Counsel.

Famous quotes containing the word dress:
“I feel no more like a man now than I did in long skirts, unless it be that enjoying more freedom and cutting off the fetters is to be like a man. I suppose in that respect we are more mannish, for we know that in dress, as in all things else, we have been and are slaves, while man in dress and all things else is free.”
—Amelia Bloomer (1818–1894)
“The dress makes the person; the saddle the horse.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Borrow a child and get on welfare.
Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
