Getting called to the Bar is one thing. Getting dressed for court is another. Pupillage demands a smart, functional wardrobe that carries you from case to conference without draining your bank account.
Here’s what you’ll need, and how Ivy & Normanton can help you get there with confidence and style:
Suits
A plain black or dark grey suit is your daily uniform. Most pupils mix and match jackets and trousers or skirts. Go for comfort, structure, and something that makes you feel sharp the moment you put it on.
Shirts
We have a complete range of shirts; from double cuff to tuxedo front, each perfectly designed to be layered. Want to get the most range out of your shirt? We recommend a tuxedo front that can be styled with a range of collars and bands to create the most looks from that one base.

Pro tip: if you’re not a fan of wearing shirts, choose a comfortable plain top you can wear under your shirt and place a collarette on top to create the illusion of a shirt.
Collar & Bands
Perfect for higher courts or more formal appearances, pair with a shirt or blouse when you want to feel your sharpest.
