How can someone show up to church like that?

• Choose a knee-length dress or skirt that is not too tight or revealing for traditional churches, to appear appropriate and modest.
• Combine a nice blouse with a neat skirt or trousers for a classic and respectful look. Avoid low necklines or revealing tops.
• Closed Shoes: Dressy heels or flats are ideal for formal occasions. Avoid sandals or sneakers, as they can be too casual.

For men:
