Most professional wardrobes consist of three options: black, grey and the occasional brown. As a lawyer, you will constantly be judged by what you wear, so why stick to the same-old-same-old? Your days of flip-flops and ironic T-shirts may be over, but don't let your future profession smother your personality. Check out these fun ways to spice up your business suit:

Neck ties
Fun neck ties are the easiest way to express yourself as a business professional. Show your love for music and impress emo kids while you're at it with a piano tie. You can purchase it just about anywhere - from HotTopic to music stores. Acceptable alternatives: the guitar tie, the music notes tie and the violin tie. The map tie is a chic choice and blends well with any color. Also try a rubber ducky, bowling or Dilbert tie.

Bow Ties
Bow ties are back. They can fun, fashionable and humorous. Black-and-white ties always look snazzy, but the crossword tie takes it to another level. The best part: People will think you know a lot of big words. A classic plaid look is more suitable for everyday wear.

Colored Tights
Give your skirt/jacket ensemble a punch with brightly colored tights. Wow any courtroom with electric blue, hot pink or canary yellow leggings. You can purchase smaller sizes from American Eagle stores or any size from WeLoveColors.com. Tip: Matching jewelry will give you a complete look.

Ascot
There is no better way to look worldly than by wearing an ascot. The fashionable necktie alternative may have a long history, but fun prints and bright colors have updated the 19th-century look. Try a more casual wool ascot for days out of the courtroom.

Harry Potter regalia
Are you in Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw? Represent your favorite Hogwarts house with neckties, scarves and sweaters. Every lawyer should embrace their inner-wizard (For best results, use a Sorting Hat).

Unusual Briefcases
An ordinary black briefcase may always be a safe choice, but where is the fun in that? Go for something more unorthodox with bright colors, textures and interesting style. A lime green faux alligator print brief may be just the thing to set you apart from your classmates.
