How to Dress For Church
Church is a place for contemplation and should carry the highest mark of respect. Dressing is very important aspect of an individual. Careless dressing is often related to low self esteem and also gives a signal that you do not respect the occasion. Hence one needs to dress up well for oneself and by habit this can develop into a need. Splurging on clothes is not recommended as there are sale buys to fill your wardrobe for those exclusive clothes you need for church attending.
Weddings are great times and as the bride proceeds towards the alter this becomes an emotional time for all the invitees. Dresses for wedding are exquisite, in pearly whites, sashes, bows, head pieces, tiara and the get up seems complete with bouquet, rings and also make up.
The brides make up needs has to reflect elegance which is so much required as a church etiquette. One does opt for second buys or hire dresses for weddings but one needs to check for frays and bad laundry jobs. Neat dressing is recommended for these special occasions.
Many feats like christening is also when one must dress the kids appropriately in the christening gown which is not always a white. There are angelic dresses and props too but for the occasion it is safe to use a button down or Velcro arrangement which allows easy anointment during baptism. Change of clothes and shoes is very much important for kids and one should not forget the weather while making the baby kit.
Speaking is not allowed and when absolutely necessary one can communicate non verbally. Footwear should be best and branded buys are not necessary. Watch out for bad grooming and this is not acceptable. There could be times when one needs to pull in the grubby jeans and the sweat shirt but then formal dressing would be advisable. Go for business casuals that come with bright formal shirts and trousers.
If you are the flamboyant dresser, then be careful with colours and prints. Animal prints, loud stripes or an array of colours look good on the beach or carnival and hence to avoid embarrassment get into a few church wearable.
Dangling earrings, chunky jewelry, too much of beads or pearls looks very loud for a church function. Go for dress suits or pant suits and the best way to bring variety is to mix n match. Go for tones like browns, creams, blues and peach. For someone who loves colours then a fuchsia camisole, a inner olive green tank top and shrugs in colours seem to be a good idea.
Make up has to be immaculate and neat. Hairstyles can be simple and one could always sport the shag layered blow dry style for the party after the church ceremony.
