Pretty sure I wore jeans last time I was called in for jury duty. Same with many of the 300 other people in the room. Maybe it depends on where you live?

In the end it didn't matter. I just went online to check on the status of my jury service and there will be no jury service for next week so I am excused. They thanked me for my service though.

What an easy system to use!

I've been retired for 10 years now. All my office and dressy clothes are long gone (wouldn't do me any good, anyway, because I've gained weight since I retired).


What I do have is one basic black dress, one pair of semi-dressy black pants and a couple of nice tops. I have one dressy pair of black shoes. I can take that black dress and accessorize it with scarves and jewelry and nobody would recognize it from the last time I wore it. Same thing with the pants/tops.


99.99% of the time, shorts, flip-flops and a t-shirt is as dressy as I need to get. I don't go to church, weddings and funerals are few and far between, and nobody dresses up around here anyway.

All retirees should have a few non-casual outfits for funerals, church, jury duty, or whatever. Dressing up a bit shows respect.

OP, I wouldn't sweat it. If that's what you have, that's what you have.

I imagine there are not any juries being seated still.
Required attire will now include a mask of some type when they resume.
