Easter Sunday: a day filled with family, friends, egg hunts, and (hopefully) some wonderfully warm spring weather. However, even though many families partake in dying Easter eggs and putting together baskets of goodies for the younger family members, Easter is a sacred and religious holiday, one that must be treated with respect. One of the best ways to show the holiday some respect is through what you decide to wear on Sunday. Keep on reading because I am about to let you in on some of my favorite Easter attire that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and/or dinner.
When deciding what to wear on Easter Sunday, you want to have the words appropriate, conservative, colorful, stylish and respectful floating in your head. Rather than giving you specific outfits to wear on Easter, I am going to give you suggestions that can be taken in a variety of directions (since everyone’s closets are different and everyone celebrates Easter in a different and unique way).
Dresses
Not only are they a safe option, but they are also an option that can be styled and personalized to each individual person. When choosing the perfect dress for Easter, remember your five criterion. Even though you want to choose a dress that you feel comfortable and beautiful in, you need to respect this holiday and make sure that the dress is appropriate. So, I am telling you now, low necklines and skin-tight material might be great for a night at the bar, but not for Easter.
High neck-lines are very trendy at the moment and display the proper amount of modesty when celebrating on Sunday; however, there are dresses that have lower necklines that are still appropriate for this special day (just use your best judgment). Make sure that the dress you choose is not too short — if you cannot bend down or sit with your legs crossed comfortably then you should probably find a different dress.
If you are worried about crossing your legs while wearing a dress, you can have the best of both worlds and opt for a romper. Rompers are essentially dresses, but rather than having a skirt at the bottom, you have a skort or shorts. When deciding on a romper, you want to still remember the degree of modesty you most uphold in your outfit, but the one lenient aspect is that the romper you decide on can be a little shorter in length compared to dresses (considering all areas are covered in the lower extremities with rompers).

If you’re the type of person who takes great joy in mixing and matching clothing, wearing a skirt and blouse rather than a dress or romper is the perfect fit. My favorite part of wearing skirts and tops is that you can style them in so many different ways compared to dresses. You can go for a flowy top and bottom combination. Or, you might want a more fitted blouse and a bouncy skirt to pair with it. For the Easter festivities, any of these combinations would work.
However, if you decide to go for a more fitted top, make sure that the material is nice enough so that it does not cling to your skin and, of course, beware of low necklines! In terms of the skirt, as long as it is a respectable length and not super tight, you really cannot go wrong. A-line skirts give off a more serious vibe, while skater skirts have a more whimsical tone!
Now that we have a few general clothing items laid out, let’s talk about personalizing and styling each item. One pattern that is always a safe option for Easter Sunday is floral (which is not only appropriate, but also extremely in style right now). Floral patterns are the perfect way to welcome the spring weather as well as for dressing for success for the holiday. If patterns are not your thing, I suggest wearing lighter, more pastel-like tones. For the skirt and blouse, wear either a patterned or colored skirt and then pair it with a cream-colored or more neutral-colored top; if you put too many patterns together it can make people dizzy.
When choosing accessories, you want to spice up your outfit without becoming disrespectful. If you decide on heels (which most women do), make sure the heels are simple and elegant. Monochromatic patent-leather heels or neutral colored wedges are perfect for the occasion. I love jewelry, but you do not want to put on an obscene amount this upcoming Sunday. I suggest the rule of three: one necklace, one bracelet, and one ring. However, if you are wearing a high neckline, forgo the necklace and go for a bangle on one wrist and a simple chain bracelet on the other.
With all of this in mind, I wish all of my readers a very Happy Easter!
