The catholic religion is the largest in the world and holds its presence in many countries spread across the globe. As going to church is an obligation to every catholic since time immemorial, wearing a distinct outfit too is a part of the catholic religion.

Men and women would originally wear suits and ties and be dressed very formally. Women would also wrap a scarf around their head in respect of the almighty. But as times have changed and people have gotten more modern yet going to mass still remains a formal occasion. One can dress down to a semi-formal attire but not totally casual.

The high mass at an auspicious occasion like Easter or Christmas will always see church goes in their best attires. Ladies think months in advance about their attire for the main day and seamstresses are loaded with work in these seasons. Notwithstanding that even men look their best for main feasts. New materials are sourced out along with new patterns because everyone wants to look the best when they enter church to praise the lord.

In England fastidious church going women usually tailor make their outfits for church. It could be a suit comprising of a skirt or blouse with a jacket or just the skirt and a jacket. A hat is usually donned to complete the look and also block the sun rays. This style of dressing has percolated to most of the world where women dress in tailor made outfits.

Yet the younger generation prefer to look sleek yet modern. So they get into something smarter like formal pants, teemed with a formal top and a pearl necklace to go with it. Or long tops over fitting pants, flowing skirts and tops or full-length floral dresses. The variety is enormous as today's fashion has spilled into every category giving breathtaking designs and patterns.
