What is proper church attire?

 church

Dear Polite One,

What is proper attire in church? I was brought up to believe that parishioners should dress up.  That's why nicer clothes are called: Sunday's best.   Today, it seems that people dress in their gardening clothes. 

Dressed in Sunday's Best

Dear Dressed in Sunday's Best,

Your perception of Sunday's best compared to others is most likely completely different. I too believe that church should be a place of some reverence, where one should dress more conservatively.  However, people don't come to church to compare attire choices. The reason should be to worship one's God.  So, it is probably best to forget our increasing casualness and focus on the real reason to be in church. 

Sincerely,

The Polite One
