As long as you don't show up in jeans & trainers, you should be ok. Shoes, dark trousers, shirt & tie should do the trick

If you support the person on whose behalf you are a witness dress nicely, a suit or slacks and shirt. If you are a witness for the opposition wear a dirty tracksuit and trainers. Create the impression that suits your purposes
