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.
