I went to mass two years ago at a Church on vacation and the Priest was acting all “hip” and “cool”. He walked with a full swagger and wore Lebrons and when he sat in the priest chair, he sat lounged there looking like the coolest guy on the block, no joke. Bet you thought you saw it all until you see a priest walking down the aisle with swagger and Lebrons.

Sounds so unreal, I should of taken a picture lol. He also was wearing shades😎

Although I’d wear more longer length skirts if they made them not quite so long. I am not a tall woman. I like a good ankle length skirt, but it’s hard to find one that’s ankle and not floor. And I am so not hemming an entire skirt, especially not one with a lot of extra fabric at the bottom.

I wonder if I might be able to call my priest out on wearing his Addidas sandles with white socks at daily mass? 🧐 Would it matter that just as much as him, probably, I would wear my flip flops to daily mass?

(Honestly, after a while, I got quite desensitized to it- pretty much, anyways.)

It could be worse. He could wear fisherman sandals with the white socks. Mine does. 😄

I basically have one outfit that I wear everywhere. If someone approached me and ‘corrected’ me I’d just respond “cool, you wanna buy me a suit?”

One outfit – nobody minds if you wear the same outfit. The question is, does it bare your midriff, behind, armpits, cleavage (if you’re a woman), etc? I.e. the main thing to avoid is excessive show of skin.

Is sleeveless really okay for a bank? All the professional dress codes / advice I see says “must have sleeves. Sleeveless is not okay”. Or questionable at best! Because who wants to see armpits at the bank, at church, anywhere, really? I guess at the beach…

Bare Arms at Work: Acceptable or Not? Professional Women Debate

Are bare arms at work acceptable in a conservative office? Can you wear a shell or sleeveless dress without a blazer or cardigan?

Armpits – why is everything about sex for some people? It’s not a turn-on, it’s a gross-out. A hygiene issue, if nothing else.
Also, if you’ve never seen anyone is a crop top for Mass, lucky you.

Then don’t look at them. It’s unfair to expect women to forgo sleeveless attire because you personally think the undersides of their arms are icky.

Men’s underarms too. 😃 Sorry to inform you, sleeveless is not considered formal enough for church, business wear, etc. Not even business casual.
 
I’d put it into the high end of business casual. But I think it might depend on where you are exactly. Around here, yes, sleeveless would be completely acceptable. Strapless or spaghetti strap would not be. The poll in that link is actually pretty in line with what I’ve seen. Thick straps on otherwise nice tops are acceptable by themselves, unless you’re in an environment that expects suits all the time. Even then a sleeveless sheath dress might be ok.

I know the standards are different for men, but men’s and women’s dress codes end up being different in all sorts of weird ways anyway. (Seriously, what is with the whole “tie” deal to begin with? There’s no way that’s not completely arbitrary.)

But the point isn’t to make a definite argument. We’ve had that around here for years. The point is that there are things that faithful Catholics can reasonably disagree on, and people shouldn’t go around saying anyone who doesn’t hold to their exact same standards doesn’t know how to dress for Mass or is being disrespectful or something.
 
I think tasteful sleeveless can be carried off okay. And I know it is hard to find women’s clothing that has sleeves at times! But that’s why there is a plethora of cardigans and shrugs in stores these days, I think. Not everyone who wears sleeveless tops manages to hide their bra straps, sideboob, etc. I think that’s the problem with sleeveless really, along with seeing armpit, very commonly people are seeing undergarments (bra). I think people just accept the whole visible bra thing now, which I think we can chalk up to influencers like the pop star Madonna, which is too bad, I think.

Assuming the individual practices good hygiene, I don’t see what’s inherently gross about underarms. 🤔
 
Well what the heck did they wear before the 1970s in South Texas? Did they go sleeveless in church in the 1950s, 1960s? Before air conditioning?

Nobody cares. No way I’m dressing in yards and yards of fabric when its 104 in the shade. God bless her, but I’m not going there.

I’m really tickled that you think Madonna has anything to do with late 2010s fashion trends.

Before the 1980s, visible bra was a fashion faux pas. After the 1980s, seen as totally normal.
 
Oooooooh fine, I’ll play.

How are you clothing people (not that the rest of us are nudes) finding time to shop and try on all these things in order to find the right fit/ level of formality/ level of modesty?

My kids are ALWAYS with me. Trips to the store have to be kept short and kept to two places max. I just can’t get in the headspace to clothes shop. If I ever did have some time without the kids or with less of the kids, I have so many other things I need or want to do.

And then there’s kid clothes, they outgrow them so quickly that what fit for mass last week is oops tennis shoes this week.

Do the people who pay as much attention to clothes as all these clothing threads suggest actually love fashion more than the rest of us and that’s how and why they prioritize it so?
 
It is hard with little kids! But it is possible to get a couple of cardigans / shrugs and throw them on.

I mean, I don’t go out of my way to ogle women’s chests or armpits, so maybe I’m the clueless one.

Well, hmm. Do you think some people, one sex in fact, does ogle women’s chests? 🤣
 
Ugh fine, I’ll play on that subject too. The acceptance of visible bra straps is a relief to me in ways I never imagined possible. If you see my bra strap its because some beautiful little unweanable terrorist of a baby has been aggressively rearranging it all for me.
 
Men’s brains can be monumentally creepy. You didn’t know that?
