With Easter Sunday right around the corner, you might be busy trying out brunch recipes or planning a party. Whether you’re trying to figure out what restaurants are open on Easter for brunch or what to put in the eggs for the egg hunt, you might be wondering what you and your family should wear on Easter. Break out the neutrals, florals, and pastels — it’s time to get stylish for spring! Check out our tips on how to style quality clothes and accessories for Easter Sunday.
What to Wear to Church on Easter Sunday — Fashion and lifestyle experts note that while many people wear more formal Easter clothing on Easter Sunday at church, it’s not as traditional as it was when you may have attended service as a kid years ago. Dress codes can differ from church to church, so call your local church office and ask if you’re unsure. If you’re attending Easter Sunday service in the morning, transition to a post-Easter brunch with our selection of stylish brunch outfits.
Post-Church Outfit Ideas — Maxi dresses are a great option to wear both to and after church. Wear a maxi dress in a floral pattern with bold colors and accessorize with a straw crossbody bag, hoop earrings, and sandals for a classic and chic look. Create an elevated casual look by pairing a floral blouse with white wide-leg jeans. It’s a brilliant way to feel put-together when you don’t want to wear a dress. Complete the look with tan slides.
Women’s Easter Outfit Ideas — As we mentioned earlier, going to church on Easter Sunday may mean that you don’t have to dress up as formally as we did in years past, but, in general, it’s best to avoid wearing t-shirts and jeans. Go a step above that with a polo shirt and khakis or a nice dress. If wearing a dress with spaghetti straps or a sleeveless dress, balance out the look with a cardigan or opt for a dress with a longer length. Complete the look with cute shoes in a neutral tone for easy styling. Consider wearing a jumpsuit in a bold print if you want something to stand out. You can layer up with a cozy white jacket, either cropped or a blazer if the spring breeze is still in the air.
Men’s Easter Outfit Ideas — Men can wear a light-colored shirt and have fun playing with different shirt-and-tie combos that represent the warm spring weather. Try a crisp pastel shirt with a complementary tie such as a mint green shirt with a purple tie. Boat shoes go great with this Easter look and festive socks can add a playful element to the formal outfit.
Girls’ Easter Outfit Ideas — Dress up your girl for church with a voluminous dress in a playful print. If attending an Easter party, you’ll want her to wear something that is made from stretchy fabric so she can easily enjoy an egg hunt or running around in the park. Combine a cute dress with colorful leggings for a look that works just as well at a religious service as it does at an outdoor party. Have her wear cute yet comfortable closed-toe shoes so she can run around and play during an Easter egg hunt.
Boys’ Easter Outfit Ideas — There are plenty of ways to dress up your boy in a way that’s appropriate for both during and after church. A traditional suit in a pastel color can be paired with a coordinating tie and dress shoes for a more polished look. Remove the jacket after service to give the outfit a relaxed feel. The more casual yet stylish choice is pairing a collared shirt and blazer with khakis. Try a button-down collared shirt in a cheerful pattern or color. A belt and dress shoes help dress up the look for service, but you can switch to sneakers or loafers for outdoor activities.
Weather Considerations — Easter comes earlier this year at the end of March, meaning that weather can be quite unpredictable. It could be chilly and rainy, or it can be warm and sunny. The important thing for everyone to keep in mind is to dress in attire that’s suitable for either outcome. Layering is essential, so consider lightweight jackets that can be easily removed. Breathable fabrics can adapt to unexpected weather shifts. Footwear should be fashionable yet functional, such as boots or waterproof shoes.
Figuring out what to wear for Easter can be tricky. After all, you’re not going to wear your usual daily office attire, and you’re going to want to look dressier than your relaxed weekend athleisure look. The same goes for your family, especially if you’re all getting dressed up for photos or going to church today. Get inspired by any of the outfit ideas, including embracing springtime colors and patterns, and keeping it modest and sophisticated. From floral prints to pretty pastels, your Easter outfitl will keep you stylish all season long.
