US and UK: What do rogues, fops, hacks, limeys and "corporate tools" wear to court, anyway?

At Simple Justice you can read Scott Greenfield's way-snide but excellent piece "Lawyer Fashionista: Barrister Edition." Our 2 cents: Our firm's corporate tools of both sexes have all their hair; wigs are not an issue. However, federal and state U.S. courts are different, clothes-wise, and should be different. We suggest as a requirement, and for federal court only, capes with red-lining and perhaps matching spats. Further, all state court trial lawyers who are still wearing shoes and socks to court should be excused from doing so.
