WHY ARE WIGS WORN IN ENGLISH COURTS?
A. The traditional courtroom dress of English judges and barristers (lawyers who represent the defence or prosecution in higher courts of law) looks as if it came straight from the Middle Ages. Actually it was much later. In 1625, an academic paper entitled The Discourse on Robes and Apparel appeared in print. It paved the way for the introduction of distinct regulations for the wearing of robes and wigs for different purposes in the courtroom.

C. But why did powdered wigs come into fashion in the first place? Why top one's head with an itchy, sweat-inducing mass of artificial curls? Professor Maria Hayward points out in The King's Clothing Choices that when it comes to trend-setters, no one had a greater influence on the wearing of wigs than Louis XIV of France. During his reign, the Sun King disguised his prematurely balding scalp by wearing a wig. In doing so, he started a trend that was widely followed by the European upper and middle classes.
D. Although those who wished to remain in good social standing were quick to adopt the practice of wearing wigs, English courtrooms were slower to act. Judicial portraits from that time still show a natural, no-wig look. In the late Stuart Era, however, full, shoulder-length wigs became part of the requisite attire for judges and barristers during a trial. Over time, wigs fell out of fashion within society as a whole. By the early 19th century, they were worn by only a few, namely bishops, coachmen, and those in the legal profession.
E. In 2007, however, the desire to maintain formality and pay homage to legal history was challenged. A case proposing changes to the traditional dress code was brought to court, and was successful. The Lord Chief Justice, Baron Phillips, stated that wigs would no longer be worn during civil or family cases. Wigs are still worn during criminal trials, but some want the tradition to be fully abandoned. A growing number of lawyers are comparing wigs and robes to the suits of armour worn in bygone days by knights, and believe that the English courts should be more focused on important issues and not on what officials are wearing.
