Remember the days when your mother, wearing her best dress, took the hat box off the closet shelf on Sunday morning and carefully lifted out her favorite Sunday hat. She placed it on her head, fastened it with a hat pin and her Sunday church ensemble was complete.

In years past, when you were a little boy or girl, going to church was the one day to wear dresses, hats, suits, and dress shoes. Casual dress for church was frowned upon as a lack of respect for God and other worshipers. Today, wearing casual dress to church is the norm, although more and more people are returning to the tradition of wearing their "Sunday best" Are you one of them?

There's nothing that makes you feel better than wearing your favorite dress or suit and going to meet friends for time to pray and sing together in church. Wearing suitable church attire is a chance for you to celebrate at church showing respect for both yourself and God.

Are you in the church choir? Imagine the congregation being awestruck as they see each member of your choir dressed in matching church dresses and dressy hats, and the men in the choir wearing men suits in the same or contrasting color, lifting their voices to the heavens singing songs of glory and praise.

Rather than wearing traditional choir robes, convince the choir to dress in color coordinated choir group, three piece women suits with finger length jackets, and matching tops and skirts in a gorgeous burgundy or red. These contemporary suits are available in a variety of styles from short jackets and knee length skirts to floor length skirts. Most church apparel is manufactured in a variety of colors and have optional color coordinated dressy hats.

You can find sensational deals in formal wear stores on boy's suits and men's attire that are ideal for church. Picture your son in a boy's suit in the same fabrics and colors as his dad's suit. Cute! Do you love the idea of walking down the aisle with your family dressed in church formal wear, proud to show your respect and appreciation for your church family? Now, you can do it with sensational formal wear sales.

If casual dress is more appropriate for your local parish, then save your favorite suits and dresses for special occasions like Holy Communion, Baptisms, Confirmations, Weddings, the Christmas holidays, and Easter.

5 Basic Things You Can Do To Make Your Appearance Look Special

#1. Boys dress clothes should be simple, yet tasteful. Appropriate colors for the dresses and suits or man's blazers are low key, natural colors like cream, beige, khaki, ivory, or pastels - keep prints and patterns in good taste and moderation.
