Last week it emerged that BPP University Law School in London had a somewhat detailed manual for what their students should wear to court.

Male students could find they were docked points from their assessment if they wore black ties, colourful socks and failed to wear a double breasted jacket or three piece suit, according to website Legal Cheek. Women could be deducted points for skirts that were above the knee, wearing “kinky” boots or for wearing shirts that showed their bras.
