What to Wear to Church and Look Your Sunday Best

If you do go the blouse route, you're going to want a stylish pair of pants with which to pair it. Skip the jeans and opt for a pair of dress pants instead. This pair features a just-right stretchy fit with pintuck seam detailing and a double knit ponte fabric that resists wrinkling, pilling, and fading.

Don't forget to take into account the reason you're headed to church in the first place. If you're on your way to a memorial service, for instance, skip the peppy prints. Headed to a baptism or Easter service? Great—throw on a cheerful pattern, like this gorgeous dress from Hill House Home.

Depending on the occasion, you might be sitting on a hard pew for a very long time—so don't torture yourself with stiff fabrics and tight waistlines! Instead, opt for a semi-fitted, comfy option like this jersey dress. There's so many affordable print options!

You don't have to cover your whole collarbone all the time, but you'll find many elegant options to make sure you have enough coverage. If you put something on and you wonder if it's cut too low, it probably is. So the best option is to go for a higher neckline like this pretty blouse.

You never know if it's going to be chilly or warm at church—better safe than sorry! Bring a few different layers for on top, or keep yourself really cozy and stylish with a light jacket or blazer.

A wide-brimmed hat sitting in the front pew? Perhaps not. But a pretty bow is something you can get away with no matter where you're seated during service. Grab a set so you can match any outfit. Or try a stylish headband!

Adding a collar is such an easy way to upgrade the formality of an outfit. Here, it adds poise and sophistication to an otherwise any-occasion ensemble, and the puff sleeves and below-the-knee hem are sure to be appreciated, too.

Whether you just like the layered look or need to cover up a pair of bare shoulders, having several cardigans in your closet is an excellent idea for the frequent (or occasional!) church-goer. You can go for fun colors or grab a basic neutral shade that will go with everything.

Now's the time to show off your favorite cross! The teeny-tiny charm on this delicate necklace is such a special idea (and it doubles as a fabulous Easter or Christmas gift).

Closed-toe shoes are encouraged and a flat or low heel is the best way to go, but there are plenty of fabulous options that fit those parameters—like these Mary Jane ballet flats. You can also try a trendy kitten heel!

You may not be able to wear your favorite sleeveless sundress during the service, but an all-over print like this one is an easy way to add a splash of personality to an otherwise covered-up look.

It'll make such a big difference in how put-together you look—and it's a quick and easy way to turn any outfit into a "church-appropriate" outfit. You'll love this lightweight, neutral option which you can wear to church, to the store, or, well, anywhere.

Who says "modest" has to translate to "boring"? This dress from Ree's collection, for instance, features a flowing silhouette, delicate eyelet sleeves, and delightful bright pink color—but it's entirely appropriate for church, too. Win-win!
