Sunday style: Fashion for Church

It's Sunday and I know a lot of you might be going through your wardrobe searching for what to wear. Picking a perfect outfit for church on a Sunday morning could be much of a herculean task to some people,  well except you're in the choir and have to wear a choir uniform. But if you're neither a chorister nor an usher, then this post will probably give you an insight about your choices of Sunday service wears.

Unlike social events and other occasions, church is a place that demands total and absolute modesty. Imagine a scenario where I attended a church on a Sunday, I was trying to concentrate in worship when a lady walked pass my side and I almost lost concentration. Apparently,  she was not appropriately dressed for the service,  with her micro mini skin tight skirt,  yet with an almost ten (10) inches high heel shoe. I nearly mistook where I was for a club... Lol

The few tips that we'd be considering here are for both the ladies and guys alike because,  not all things worn by guys are appropriate for the house of the Lord. I hope they help!

Tips for ladies
1. Avoid micro mini skirt -  your skirt is better right on the knee or a little below the knee.

2. Avoid skin tight dresses or skirts -  it's better you wear something a little free, so you don't have to reveal how curvy you are (save that for your dinner dates... Lol)

3. Avoid tops or blouses that reveals your cleavage -  show some respect as you go before the presence of the Almighty God. Revealing those cleavages would cost you more harm than good when men in church lose focus on the worship of God because of what they're seeing... Be careful!

4. Avoid armless dresses or tops -  seeing your armpit when you lift up holy hands might not be such a pleasant sight. It could be really repulsive even if it is neatly shaved. It's better to wear something with sleeve whether long or short.

5. Avoid see through blouses -  people should see through God and not you! Do not drag attention meant for divinity to yourself (it's dangerous)

Aside the five (5) tips outlined, other commandments to be adhered to are; avoid shorts, leggings, crop tops, spaghetti straps, loud makeovers and loud hair do.

And to my male folks, not much is outlined but there are a few that should be considered...
1. Do not wear rumpled clothes. Make sure to iron your clothes neatly just the way you would your office clothes.

2. For guys who love jewelry and all the bling-blings, I'd advice you tone it down when going to church. Adorning yourself with all those shiny gold accessories around your neck might be drifting worshippers' attention from God to you.... I'm sure you don't wanna fall out with God... Remember He's a jealous God.

3. Try to match your colours appropriately and make sure you polish your shoes well. Most guys would prefer to look all dapper and cute at work than church.... You think God ain't stylish?

No matter what you wear, all that matter is comfortability and in being comfortable, never forget modesty!
