When you’re at a church, it is presumed and recommended to be dressed up. You’re there to pray and to get closer to God. So with that being said, you wouldn’t wear what you normally wear to a club to a church. 

At a church, you’re expected to look nice or at least presentable. You don’t make a good impression if you look like you just rolled out of bed or if you’re showing too much skin. In order to make the best impression, follow these guidelines to make sure you’re dressed appropriately for church.

Option 1:

Products: Dress – Amazon, Heels – NA-KD, Statement Necklace – Boohoo, Bracelet – Macy’s, Purse – Amazon.

It is absolutely fine to wear a dress to church. In fact, a lot of women do so. However, dressing for church is similar to dressing for an office or conservative company. If you want to wear a dress, it’s important that it is not revealing. It doesn’t have to be knee-length, but it also shouldn’t be too short. 

In the outfit above, this is an acceptable dress, as it isn’t too short nor is it too tight. Along with a dress, wearing heels is perfectly fine. However, since you’ll be doing a lot of standing and mingling with people, it’s important to wear comfortable shoes. Kitten heels or heels that are two inches are ideal; just don’t wear something you can’t walk in! 

With this outfit, you can also wear jewelry. Try a statement necklace and/or a bracelet. It’s also okay to bring a purse to complete the outfit.

Option 2:

Products: Skirt – Kohl’s, Top – H&M, Flats – H&M, Earrings – Nordstrom Rack, Belt – H&M, Purse – Boohoo.

This is for anyone who likes to wear skirts. Just like with dresses, it’s important to wear skirts that aren’t too short or tight. With its conservative length and looser fit, this skirt is a great option. (It’s also fine to wear skirts that are colorful, if that’s your preference.)
