EASTER DRESS UP

Easter 2021 is approaching, and we are all set to celebrate the festival. We have marked the calendars for the big day. Easter is celebrated to mark the defeat of death and the hope of salvation. This festival commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Bible and Christianity say that the sins of humanity were paid off by Jesus’s death, and his resurrection symbolizes the anticipation believers have for burning their own sins and then their own resurrection. Easter is celebrated on the third day after his crucifixion. This is a very big day for Christians all around the world, and we know you are already ready to welcome the big day. The most exciting part of Easter is choosing what to wear for the whole family when dressing up and going to church. We are sure you might not have picked what to wear for Easter yet, and you might be a little confused. Don’t worry; we have got you covered, girl. Let me help you and tell you all about what you should wear.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Well, we know you need to look absolutely fabulous to celebrate the death and resurrection of the Messiah in style. Planning your outfits for Easter is quite hard for the majority of us. We need to look our best when it comes to dressing up for such a fashionable spring holiday. Easter fashion is all about being elegant and classy, and it is very difficult to get these combinations right with the right kind of accessories. This has always been a challenge for us. Easter fashion includes light and softer colors, simple yet elegant shoes, and timeless, classy jewelry. You get this combination right, and you will definitely be a head-turner at the church.

DRESSING ACTIVITIES FOR WOMEN

Before you head out shopping for the perfect outfit for Easter, you have to first understand the different activities being organized and what you will have to take part in. Generally, there is an Easter Sunday church service, a brunch with the family and kids, and, of course, the Easter egg hunt. Do keep in mind the kind of place these 3 activities could take place. Example: garden, outdoor, indoor, backyard,  etc. So it will be simple for you to buy or select the right attire according to the location.

FORMAL ATTIRE

Most churches do have a dress code for Easter Sunday. It could be formal, or your church could also opt for an informal dress code. Do call up your church beforehand to find out about their dress code. Some churches are pretty strict and have a formal dress code for men, women, and children. If you call your church before hand, you will be well prepared and will know what to expect when you walk in. After all, we do not want to be overdressed or underdressed.

MODESTY GOES A LONG WAY

Be modest in your style of dressing. Do not go overboard or show off too much with your style of dressing; after all, the purpose of the Easter Sunday service is to worship God and thank Jesus. Of course, a little respect and stylizing yourself are important, but please do not wear very revealing clothes or go overboard with colors. If you think your skirt or dress is too short for the church but are not sure if you can pull it off, Then it is probably too short, and you should definitely reconsider wearing it.

COLORS TO WEAR

There are so many colors to choose from, and I know it might get a little overwhelming at times. So I suggest you stick to solid-color dresses combined with fresh white or pastel prints or embroidery to bring out the color of the dress. Do not forget to wear those beautiful pearl earrings or necklaces that you have in your jewelry box. A solid blue dress paired with some chunky accessories will definitely make you stand out. You can also experiment with some pastel colors, like mint blue, pastel yellow, or pastel blush pink. These dresses with pearl necklaces or a nice Easter bonnet will be a head-turner and will make you stand out this Easter.

PATTERNS TO WEAR

Wear a floral or fruit-patterned dress. These dresses look cute and fresh, making them perfect for your Easter brunch and church services. To avoid any kind of clashes and competition among the dresses and accessories, keep the jewelry simple and classy. Accessories wise: simple pearl drop earrings or studs and a nice clutch. Of course, we need to add a bonnet and some white gloves to finish the outfit to make it more ladylike, and we know you might not feel your outfit is complete until you wear a stunning hat. If you are wearing a pearl necklace, try avoiding the earrings, as we do not want to go overboard with our look.

TONING THE DRESSING DOWN – JUST A TAD!

Well, depending on what you wore for the church service, you can decide if you need to toss your outfit, accessories, or footwear down for your family brunch. If you choose to wear heels to church, then you might want to rethink your footwear for brunch and slip into some comfortable flats. The brunch is definitely going to be more casual, so you can consider toning down on the accessories as well, of course, leaving the feminine touch to your style all the way intact. You could part ways with your stunning bonnet and those lady gloves; after all, we do not want to look too dressed up at the family brunch table.

PEARL AND OTHER ACCESSORIES

The accessories you choose for Easter should definitely complement the celebrations. I believe in having a mix of traditional and modern accessories. If your outfit is more on the traditional and classy side, then go for the modern accessories, and if your outfit has a modern silhouette and is a style statement in itself, then go for classy pearls to team it up with, because why take away the attention from such a stylish dress?

PEARL JEWELLERY

Well, it is not necessary to wear just white pearls for the Easter celebrations. Pearls come in different colors, shapes, and sizes. Choose your pearls wisely so they do not take away attention from your dress and just add to the stylized look. You could also opt for contemporary and modern pearl earrings and necklaces in case you feel traditional pearl studs are too boring for you. But please do not skip on this beauty from the ocean, as it adds elegance to your outfit. A structured pearl can make your outfit extra sophisticated. Do not go overboard with your accessories, or it will spoil the stylish look.

SHOES

I know you might already know this, but shoes must be coordinated with the dress and its style and colors. If you are wearing pastel colors, you can go for shoes that are nude or rose gold, and of course, these versatile colors can go very well with your other outfits in the future as well. Do not wear matching shoes with your dress. This is completely out of fashion and will make the overall outfit look too matchy. I suggest keeping the shoes as basic as you can so they do not shadow the outfit.

PRINTS AND MOTIF

Do not have Easter motifs and prints on your dresses. However, your kids can wear these motifs and look ultra cute in them. So do avoid Easter prints for yourself. You can go for small floral prints, fruity prints, or even animal prints. It is also not necessary to go shopping for a new outfit every Easter. You can always wear something out of your wardrobe, accessorize it well, and stylize it to get a stunning, classy look best suited for this year’s Easter. Do click pictures with your friends and family to hold Easter memories and look back on them later throughout the year, and it might happen that some of your friends would love your look and choose to recreate it the next day.

Men: wardrobe option for Easter. Men are advised not to wear open shirts or shorts for Easter Sunday church. Instead, you can go for a formal or semi-formal look, which obviously makes them look dapper and apt for standing next to your stunning-looking wife. Suits or a blazer with ties are the most appropriate to wear for a Sunday Easter church service, and then for brunch, you can simply take off the blazer and be a little relaxed. Avoid wearing denims, as they are too informal for church services.

BUSINESS CASUAL AND SPORTS COATS

Men can opt for casual outfits like lightweight sweaters with beige or khaki pants or even chinos. In case you want to stylize it a little, you could go for wearing a button-down shirt with a sports coat on top. This is a very convenient option, as you’ll be able to easily remove the jacket while going for the Easter egg hunt in the afternoon with your kids. This look will make you look dapper as well as formally dressed.

Accessories for Men on Easter

Men have to opt for matching belts and shoes. If you are wearing a brown belt, then make sure you are wearing the same brown loafers. This will give you a nice, classic, coordinated look. If you like playing with color, then your tie could be a bright and contrasting color to your suit. You can also color-coordinate your tie with your wife’s dress.
