Catholics should definitely wear clothes. Clean underwear is important and a coat in the winter. Younger Catholics should be reminded to wear rubber boots in the rain and button up their coat when it is below freezing. It is best to not wear white shoes after Labor Day, but that is often considered a Protestant rule. No one but the bride should wear white to a wedding and only older Italian widows can wear black to a wedding. If you do wear pants, it’s considered proper to also wear a belt, so your pants stay up. Black socks and sandals were only appropriate for old men pre-VII, but these days many young “spirit of VII” men are wearing black socks with sandals and sneakers.

I take umbrage with the Protestant white shoes comment…:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
 
In my humble opinion, there are some things that should never be worn to Sunday Mass. Shorts come to mind. Flip flops. Message T-shirts. In short, one shouldn’t dress for Sunday Mass the way one would for a Cardinals game. Though these days perhaps funeral attire would be appropriate for a Cardinals game:D. Skirts should be long enough that you can respectfully bow without flashing the people behind you. Ladies need to remember the priests are men. Tops should be modest enough that they can’t see your belly button when you bow. I have narrow shoulders, so even if my tops aren’t low cut to show cleavage, they do gap terribly when I bow. My simple solution is a tank top underneath. (Plus I can remove my blouse after church when it’s 115 degrees outside in the summer!)

And gentlemen, sock with sandles should never, never, never happen. Please. I beg you. Stop the madness.😃 (this includes my DH!)

Hello guys if you are looking for a suit that will turn you into a handsome looks you can have our, White dinner jackets have been a formal wear option in warm climates since the 1930’s. It is a truly elegant form of dress that is typically worn during summer months (from Memorial Day and Labor Day). Dinner jackets are also quite a classic style dress for formal nights on cruises. Most dinner jackets worn today are single breasted with a shawl style lapel that is “self facing”. A self facing lapel or collar is one that is the same fabric as the rest of the jacket.
 
If you join the military, then the problem of what to wear each morning is quickly solved.

Catholics are expected not to weary anything, when visiting nudist resorts.
 
Use common sense. Opus Dei expects members and visitors to dress up during Study Center visits and OD events, so I’m accustomed to dressing fairly well for Mass and other Catholic gatherings. Latin Mass attendees at my St. Andrews parish nearly always dress formally. It reminds me of Sunday Mass the way it was decades ago. But I reminisce …
