CLASSIC CHURCH OUTFITS FOR SUNDAY MASS

Ready for the Sunday service, see the most dazzling classy looks. From Sunday dress in fashionable hues to modest dresses, here is how to make an entrance in style.

1 SUNDAY DRESS AND MATCHING BLUE CARDIGAN WITH SLINGBACK PUMPS AND A HEADBAND

Endlessly classy, shape your Sunday church outfit around fancy dress in blue. The midi Sunday dress got a modern update with a belt and sweetheart neckline (this silhouette is a key fashion trend for the upcoming season), whereas a cardigan will keep you warm in cold church. It’s always cold in church. And don’t even mention the humidity. That is the reason why headwear is an essential part of a church outfit.

But forget about a fascinator this time around. A fascinator might be a little too much for casual Sunday mass. Go for a precious headband instead.

For extra points, match the headband with the shoes. Surely, matching shoes with a bag is not a must, but it is somehow more appropriate for the occasion. All in all, Sunday mass is a semi-formal daytime event.

2 MODEST DRESS WITH POINTY FLATS

One and done, a long floral dress is the easiest answer to Sunday church attire no matter the season. Pair it with precious pointy flats for an elevated feeling.

3 BLAZER ON SHORT FLOUNCE DRESS AND KITTEN HEELS

Take the spotlight in a fashionable dress – this season you can go for a short (not too short, obviously) flounce dress. Pair with trendy blazer and matching kitten heels for a cohesive look.

SUNDAY CASUAL CHURCH OUTFITS

There is casual and there is church casual. Think about casual for church as business casual but more flexible and boujee.

While Sunday Mass falls under a semi formal dress code (again, you can read all about church dress code in church dress code guide on Brunette from Wall Street Substack), a slightly more casual attire is still appropriate occasionally – for a Sunday mass in your private chapel, or at least when there is no special ceremony during the mass (like christening or a celebration, holiday).

4 BOMBER JACKET ON FLORAL BLOUSE AND BUTTER YELLOW FULL PLEATED SKIRT WITH KITTEN HEEL SLINGBACKS

Visualise the morning light streaming through your window, radiating a warm glow in your dressing room. You reach for the soft, high-necked floral blouse, the delicate blooms swirling against a crisp white background. It feels light and airy, perfect for Sunday. You slip it on, the fabric skimming your shoulders comfortably. You don’t like buttoning up, but the buttons are so precious.

Next comes a butter yellow midi skirt. It twirls fabulously, giving playful femininity. It’s long enough to be perfectly appropriate for church, yet the length still short enough to show off your new Valentino Garavni kitten heel rockstudslingback pumps. They are the most comfortable shoes you will ever own.

Now for the showstopper and casual church look: the black and white bomber jacket. It’s a cool contrast to the floral blouse, adding a touch of casual to your Sunday church attire. It’s not your typical church jacket, but the clean lines and classic color scheme keep it sophisticated enough for a Sunday mass.

5 TURTLENECK TOP WITH HIGH WAISTED PANTS AND KITTEN HEEL SLINGBACKS WITH A HEADBAND

Imagine the church doors swing open, and you step inside on the marble floor. Sunlight streams through stained glass, casting kaleidoscopic patterns on the walls. The air smells of candle wax and ancient wood.

You are late and it seems like there is no seat for you left. Surely you can stand still for one hour, you did listen to me and put on Valentino Garavni kitten heel rockstud slingback pumps before you left home.

But why would you stand? Walk to the front and make people move and make space for you.

With your head held high and a headband in your hair, walk down the aisle to the front and simply ask them to move. It works every time.
