Dress with respect for the institution. Clean, neat. Business wear (suit, sports coat and nice slacks) if you have it. If not, business casual would be acceptable in most communities. If you can't do either of these, make sure you are clean, well groomed. No T-shirts with slogans; do not wear your shortest skirt, tightest jeans or revealing shirt. Mostly, dress in a way that will not draw attention to yourself. Serving on a jury is a serious responsibility of citizenship; being asked is a great privilege and an honor. Treat the occasion and the institution with respect for the hundreds of years of sacrifice that have made the jury trial possible.

According to the court's code of ethics, wear what you would expect to see the jury wear if you were to be put on trial. If you're a man, dressing up in plain comfortable casual shirt, such as a polo, and comfortable jeans that are in good repair. It is highly recommended that you wear a business suit with a tie.
If you're a female, wear non revealing clothing, such as a ladies' polo and pants that are loose, but not form conforming. If you wish to wear a dress, make sure the dress is not revealing, and does not go any higher than your knees. Jewelry is not recommended, so dress as if you are asked to appear at a casual dinner.

Business casual.
For example a male would wear: clean shirt (with collar), slacks not jeans, dress shoes not sports shoes. Don’t wear/carry a lot of metal since you will likely pass through a metal detector of some type.
Think about it. What you would like to see from the jury if you were the defendant…a juror in an ACDC tee shirt who looks like they just rolled out of bed?

Business casual is probably good enough for jury duty.

something tasteful no 4 inch skirts and 10 inch heels maybe a nice 2 or 3 piece suit no jeans,khakis, or shorts. nice shoes if you don't like heels i suggest flats or dress shoes pull your hair back off your face and little to no makeup. your job is not to impress the people with your body its to do your civic duty

A woman should wear a comfortable skirt or pair of slacks with a tasteful blouse or shirt. Bring a sweater - often courtrooms are chilly.

Regular decent attire, an they'll probably eliminate you from duty because you'd be seen as too knowledgeable, decent or sensible.

Nice, clean clothes. Jeans are fine, but make sure they're not your old cruddy pair. No tank tops, halters, midriffs....think of it this way..how would you want your kid to look for school? Pants or jeans and a nice shirt is plenty.

You need to dress neatly and cleanly. There is not a dress code per se, just dress so you do not provide a distraction or a general offense to others.
