I think it's in bad taste for women to talk about their underwear in front of men. Verbal modesty, we'll call it.

My dos pesos...

Living here in Texas where the summers are hot & humid, I do take the climate into account. I understand most people are just trying to stay cool.

For guys, going shirtless indoors or wearing pants in a way that your underwear shows, that's immodest to me.

For girls, a bare midriff that's more than 2 inches or shorts/skirts that bare more than half the thigh or an inch below the navel is immodest. Sleeveless tops or dresses whose straps are less than 1/2 inch thick or expose more than 1/3 of the back are immodest to me. Tube tops or otherwise strapless tops are immodest without question.

It kinda bothers me that these women don't know what they're doing, but I do understand that for most of these girls, all they care about is that it's in style.

But it REALLY bothers me that many Catholic Churches around here don't care what people wear to Mass. All the time I'm seeing ratty low-slung jeans, tube tops, worn-out T-shirts with faded printing, CHEAP TACKY-LOOKING flip-flops and strapless dresses (including bridal gowns) at Masses. And the priests don't even bother to admonish their congregations about the dress code that God-fearing people are expected to live by - or at the very least, attend Mass in.

I understand people's concern about flip flops. But I honestly cannot wear any other shoe without a lot of pain. I try to keep them in good shape and not wear them for everything. but I have almost square feet. I'm serious. I wear a 6.5 double wide. I have to special order my shoes. I look like a hobbit (without all the hair). Whenever I'm somewhere that doesn't require shoes, I don't wear them. I even go jogging barefoot.

My feet are going to save the world.

I know that this isn't the case with everyone. Just thought I'd plead mine.

[Thomas Michael]

By the way, just to clarify something... I don't mind the fancy, formal-looking flip-flops (like the kind you get at Nordstrom's or Macy's) showing up at Mass. That's why I emphasized the CHEAP, TACKY-LOOKING part.

I believe it's immodest for guys to wear their jeans so baggy that it goes down below their butt almost, whats the point? All of my jeans move down very slightly, so you see only the rim-part of my underwear, is that immodest? My shirt covers it anyway. Even with a belt it still slides down just to the rim-part!

Plus, it also feels more comfortable with the jeans being very slightly lower than the underwear, I hate it when the button of the jeans presses against my stomach.

[franciscanheart]

For some people that "tacky dress" is all the have or can afford. We don't need to pick on people in those cases although I understand that it happens way to often to be the case in each situation. I do think that people need to be dressed nicely for Mass, they are there to serve God. When someone walks in with ratty jeans and "cheap tacky loking flip flops" you wonder what kind of priority God is in their life BUT you also want to pat them on the back for at least showing up. A lot of Catholics don't even do that!


I agree that priests need to say something to their congregation about dress if it becomes a real issue.

I disagree. You can find a lot of perfectly nice clothing at your local Goodwill or St. Vincent de Paul store and the stuff looks great, and is modest and respectful.

Brand name Abercrombie and Fitch is tackier than second hand.

[daugher-of-Mary]

I was at Mass in Chicago one summer, and the priest in his homily did admonish his parishioners about dress (why is this so rare?). Anyway, his point was that you are only at Mass for one hour each week...yes, it's hot, but get over it! At Holy Mass you are in the very presence of Heaven, so dress accordingly!
