For me it would be my Akubra bush hat but which I would leave in my truck. They are great by the way against the desert sun.

I have a good friend whose church has them. I thought they were some exotic Catholic thing (I am a convert), like a rosary holder, and my friend’s mom laughed at me and said they are hat holders.😂

For many men, their best is a tuxedo (and for women, their best is often a full length gown)…both of which would look out of place at Mass, unless it was a Nuptial Mass later in the day or early evening.

My husband’s “very best” is a rather stunning set of academic robes and eight-sided (?) academic cap with lots of velvet.

It’s definitely his best–but it would be rather ostentatious (as well as impractical in terms of dry-cleaning costs) to wear it to Mass every Sunday.
 
Don’t wear any cartoonish shirts, i.e. with pictures of cartoon characters or superheroes. Honestly I don’t like wearing anything with pictures on it. I particularly cannot stand the sight of a guy wearing a sports jersey with the name of another man on the back of it. Shorts should be worn sparingly, e.g. participation in sports or perhaps extreme heat. But really, just man up and deal with the heat. Offer it up to the Lord. Sandals should be worn by those in religious life (if traditional), children, and women. No piercings for men. Let’s make it simple: never wear anything you’d be embarrassed to be found dead in. Can you imagine if your family had to identify your body in the morgue and you were wearing a Homer Simpson shirt? What a tragedy to live the final moments of your life wearing a shirt with a cartoon idiot. Cover up tattoos. Comb and part your hair, don’t spike it with goo like a frat boy. The “fun socks” trend does not apply to any men, or any women over 21 for that matter. Custody of language: do not curse, make fun of anyone, or say anything stupid; who cares if you’re dressed well if you’re cursing like an imbecile? (modesty is a bigger package than looks). Use manners. Treat women like you’d want your mother, wife, or sister treated. Wear a tie to formal events; your open collar looks weak. Never let your kids look more formally dressed than you. Don’t participate in “goofy” pictures. And lastly, never, by any means, wear makeup.
 
Ban the man-kini and the man thong.

Cruciferi - it seems to be lacking weapon ports. What good is your power armour if you can’t hose down the opposition, or in something bigger, do a miniature version of the Itano Circus.

Bobperk - Interesting, but it depends on the area. Lots of guys at the church out here come in with khakis and flannel shirts during the winter

Why on Earth would this matter? People are people, dude. We cannot clothe ourselves in immortality by putting on slacks or a button-down shirt!

It’s your decision, man. If you’d be fine with your family being shocked by not only viewing your dead body but also being clothed in the shirt of a dunce, go for it.
