Simple Cheap Dresses for Women to Wear Tochruch
Between the cooking, cleaning, and getting the kids ready, figuring out your Easter Sunday outfit is probably the least of your concerns leading up to the holiday. However, a church service or Easter party typically calls for something a bit more formal, which may require just a little extra preparation on your part.
The dress code for an Easter brunch or gathering may vary, but according to Lizzie Post, author and etiquette expert for The Emily Post Institute, they generally call for less casual attire and bright colors and patterns that signal spring. While black isn't necessarily an etiquette faux pas for your Easter Sunday outfit, people traditionally opt to wear pastel shades and floral prints. Whites, creams, and nudes give the holiday the refreshing vibe it calls for, too! But no matter what your plans are for the holiday, we've got all the expert tips you need to know exactly how to dress for Easter Sunday this year.

Women's Outfits to Wear on Easter Sunday
If you plan to attend a religious service on Easter Sunday, you may be unsure of the attire expected and requirements. For instance, what colors are best to wear on Easter Sunday, and is black OK? Should you show your shoulders or cover up? Is it appropriate to wear jeans?
"This really depends on your church and your community," says Post. "Church used to be a place that had stricter standards for clothing and attire. Now, I think most churches are trying to be more encouraging and prioritizing participation over attire."
All in all, people still tend to dress up for religious services, Post says. "For the most part, people are looking to avoid jeans and T-shirts and go a step up from that, whether that's khakis and a polo shirt, a really nice dress — it varies by community and service."
If you do pick a sleeveless dress or one with spaghetti straps, consider going with a longer length to balance things out or adding outerwear to complement the look. For example, if you're showing a lot of shoulder, add a cardigan or go with a midi or maxi length for your dress.

If going to mass isn't a part of your Easter routine this year, but you have a family brunch get-together to attend at a restaurant, a dress is still an appropriate option. While you can feel free to wear something that's slightly less formal, you'll still want to look festive. "Dresses are an easy go-to," says Mary Krosnjar, a style expert at Sportsanista and a Marshalls ambassador. "Not only that, they are a safe option that can be personalized. This season I am loving dresses in bright colors, beautiful prints, and delicate laces."
You can also wear a bold print or a jumpsuit if you want to do something to stand out. A light jacket — cropped or blazer — in white can complete the look nicely and keep you cozy if warm spring temperatures haven't quite arrived yet.

Depending on where you live, it might be too cold to wear a dress on Easter Sunday. The good news is that paper bag pants and trousers are on-trend for spring. Try pastel-colored pants that are on the dressier side with a white blouse or sweater for a cute spring-inspired look that's ideal for transitional weather. White mules will keep you comfortable and on-trend.

"Men should consider wearing a light-colored suit and experiment with fun shirt and tie combos that embrace the spring weather," Krosnjar says. "Consider a crisp pastel shirt with a complementary tie — maybe even something that matches with your family." Stylish boat shoes will look great with this Easter look, while festive socks can add a little fun.

"For church, consider a cute dress with volume, playful prints, and detailing made with luxe fabrics," Krosnjar says. When it comes to Easter parties — filled with egg hunts and other outdoor activities — you want to put your little girl in something that has moveable fabric, Krosnjar suggests. Fortunately, combining a cute dress with colorful leggings and a cardigan works for both formal religious services and holiday parties. Find adorable yet comfortable sandals or dress shoes so your little one can run and play during the Easter festivities.

What Not to Wear to Church on Easter Sunday
Again, this really depends on your church, Post reiterates, and many religious communities will take you just as you are, but as a general rule, try to avoid the following:
1. Overly casual outfits
"Especially on holidays, I tend to avoid dressing in my weekend casual style because we can do that any day!" Krosnjar says. "Trade in your jeans for a pair of flowy dress pants or a pleated skirt — both have really fun movement for the season and are still comfortable."
2. Anything with holes
This one may be intuitive, but it's important to highlight, according to Post. "I wouldn't wear anything tattered or things with holes," she says. This can make you look disheveled, even if the style is trending right now.
3. Distracting attire
"Distraction could be anything from a shirt that has a ton of writing on it to something that's provocative, or even just something that's loud in color or bangles that make a lot of noise," Post explains. "There are lots of ways for clothing to be distracting other than provocative."
4. Uncomfortable clothing
Skip ensembles that are too tight, shoes that pinch, or materials that are too scratchy — they'll only detract from your enjoyment of the Easter holiday. You'll thank us later!
5. Ill-fitting pieces
This point should be followed beyond Easter. It's easy to want to wear your tried-and-true, but if those pieces just don't fit, move onto something that will make you look and feel great. The right fit and size can make a huge difference in your overall vibe.
The bottom line when it comes to dressing for Easter: A good rule of thumb for any occasion is simply thinking about who will be there. Heading to a brunch with friends on Easter Sunday is a very different get-together than going to a service at a church. Dress accordingly!
