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:
“If we confine ourselves to one life role, no matter how pleasant it seems at first, we starve emotionally and psychologically. We need a change and balance in our daily lives. We need sometimes to dress up and sometimes to lie around in torn jeans. . . . Even a grimy factory can afford some relief from a grimy kitchen and vice versa.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“It is principally for the sake of the leg that a change in the dress of man is so much to be desired.... The leg is the best part of the figure ... and the best leg is the man’s.... Man should no longer disguise the long lines, the strong forms, in those lengths of piping or tubing that are of all garments the most stupid.”
—Alice Meynell (1847–1922)
“A blond in a red dress can do without introductions—but not without a bodyguard.”
—Rona Jaffe (b. 1932)
