I usually wear a knee length dress with heels, matching jewelry and accessories. At my church, sleeveless dresses are ok, as are pants. Ladies, give me some insight on your church dress codes: do ya'll allow sleveless dresses and pants? Do women wear hats often? Feel free to post pics if you like

I go to a contemporary church so I basically wear khakis and a dressy like tee, sometimes I will throw a cardigan over it. But I ALWAYS wear pants, think I have wore jean before too.
I wear flats, like ballet shoes. (Im 24 going on 25, if that helps.)

I rarely see ladies wear hats.

We attend an a very contemporary church also. The pastor wears a polo and khakis. The congregation usual attire is jeans and t-shirts. We are in Vegas so shorts are ok also. The people that get dressy stick out more. One of our mottos is "come as you are" which I love. The usual weekly attendance between the Saturday and Sunday service ( 2 each day) is well over 6,000,

Pretty much anything. Sometimes dressy, other times very casual, pants, jeans, t-shirts, whatever (as long as you're reasonably covered).

Anything modest.

No dress code. Our church is just starting out so there aren't a lot of leaders/auxilaries so there hasnt arisen a need to establish a dress code. Our pastors are usually in suits or nice dress/pants but will sometimes where jeans and a button-down etc on sundays and casual clothes during the week.

I wear dresses or pants/capris. sometimes jeans. I dont feel comfortable wearing shorts on sunday though (its been ingrained in me from years past lol)

Thanks for responding ya'll! Someone raised an interesting point: the pastor's attire. My pastor ALWAYS wears a robe. The associate ministers may or may not have one on, but they always wear suits.

My church says it doesn't have a dress code but it does. No sleeveless tops, no pants on women, men are always in suits ties. If you go dressed too casually, you don't stick out like a sore thumb but its quite obvious that you're not a member there. I stick out a little bit...

I wear skirts and dresses. I don't wear pants to church, not because it's a rule...I just don't. It is perferred if women dont wear pants because alot of women don't know how to wear them correctly ..90% of men are in a suit. My pastor always wears a suit.

I am not the one to get too dressed up but this is some examples of my style for church

I love cardigans..I wear one EVERYDAY...even if its hot outside. I feel incomplete if I dont have one on

Always a dress and heels (not too high). Sleeveless is ok, just not low cut. My grandmother never allowed us to wear pants, so I don't feel comfortable doing that, although women at my church do. No jeans, khakis, etc. I would be so uncomfortable if my pastor showed up in khakis and sneakers.

Dresses and skirts, but mostly dresses. On rare occasions, I'll wear dressy pants and a nice top with a cardigan. I wear any type of heel, but all my heels are modest. No weird, outrageous colors or stripper heels lol.

My night clothes since my church is online. But if I were to suffer through I would wear whatever I desire as long as it's not something too out of the way or provocative ie no low shirts,too high skirts or too tight dresses. I wear stockings mainly for comfort because I get cold easy. I use to wear a full face of makeup but after some soul searching I don't anymore and prefer to for a bare look to keep attention off of self.

Modest Apparel; colorful and lacey, girly-girl or casual. Sometimes a dress suit or even maxi-dresses (in the summer).

However, modesty is the focus I have no matter what.

I'm pretty modest in general. I don't go too dressy because I have small children who climb on me and smear their crackers on me, but I do dress nice. Slacks, nice shirt, cute sweaters in the winter, maybe a pants suit. During the summer we have casual Sundays because it gets so hot, so I'll wear a nice pair of capris with a cute pair of sandles or a maxi dress. Once my kids are a little older and not so likely to make a mess on me I'll step it up a little bit.

mrselle I know what you said wasn't funny but it was I can just see a kid or two climbing on you sharing their peanut butter crackers or cheese crackers and wiping their hands on your dress lol..

^^^Your image is accurate. I have a five year old and two year old twins who love to sit on my lap and eat graham crackers. I've learned that black slacks show graham crackers, yogurt pretzels and gold fish very well. ;-)

Laela I do. But I'm a student and I only wear fancy clothing for networking events, or interviews, etc. Growing up, my parents bought clothes/shoes/jackets that were only for church.

Laela... I do.

There are certain dresses, suits and accessories that I like knowing that they are for special Church occasions.

I do dress up when at the Copts or Tridentine...the latter absolutely forbids pants for women, shorter skirts, uncovered shoulders, low necklines...and a mantilla for the head is necessary.

WHEN I can go to church I LOVE dressing up. I'm a homebody so its one of the only places I wear my dressy clothes. In the summer, dresses, sleeveless dresses with a cardigan, or a light suit plus heels. Wintertime almost always a suit. I grew up with my "church clothes." Growing up I never wore pants, but I wore pants in college to church and occasionally more recently to a church I attended that was come as you are bc I felt overdressed (not to my home church tho) but now I've gone back to my dresses and suits.
