a button up shirt
I wear a coat and tie as the preacher. It wouldn’t be any different if I were not. Prayer meetings just a collared shirt. I am a button up rather than polo kind of person. I have led prayer meeting in dirty work clothes because that is what I could wear and be on time. We are mostly a blue collar church and community and nobody was offended.This came up on another thread, and I am starting this one out of curiosity.
How do you dress for church?
I don't mean, BTW, if you put your socks on first. I mean what do you wear.
I always liked that style of shirt and coat. Just dont get one of those white tabs for your collarI wear dockers and button up collared shirt. May have a sports coat on for Easter.
Preaching I wear banded collar and suit.
When I preached I would wear a coat and tie as well. I have found that this is expected with older adults and the younger ones didn't care either way, so I didn't want to distract from the message.I wear a coat and tie as the preacher.

We also have had people who take the offering in socks. That was a matter of medical necessity. But nobody seemed to be concerned about it. We are glad to see the people and are not too excited to see what they are wearing.
I have started attending a church plant (a minister from my church started it in the community). This os very casual, but the members are young.Decades ago I vacationed in Bermuda and visited a church pastored by an old friend.
I envied the relaxed dress of the people, light clothing colors and short pants and decided I’d wear Bermuda shorts to church that Sunday.
It felt strange. I couldn’t worship without thinking I wasn’t dressed properly. Even though I blended into the congregation, I was uncomfortable about it.
I’ve never worn shorts to a service since - even outdoor events.
I have very few problems with how other people dress for church, but I learned something about myself that day… I’m simply most comfortable in long pants and a plain shirt.
