What is an appropriate outfit to wear to a Catholic baptism?

Answer by  Ahab (87)

Most people nowadays will dress fairly casually for christenings, even traditional Catholic events. Women can't go wrong with a nice dress without cleavage or shoulders on display. Men can wear trousers and a nice jacket, without having to wear a tie or a formal suit.

Depending on what relationship you have with the family is what you should wear. If your relatives or the godmother/godfather you dress pretty formal. However if your just friends you can go pretty casual.

When attending a Catholic baptism you should wear an outfit that is one step dressier than what you would typically wear to church. If you are female you should wear a dress that covers your shoulders, or a sweater if your dress is sleeveless. Males should wear a buttoned down shirt. A tie is not a requirement.

Formal dress is appropriate for a Catholic baptism. If attending, you should dress like you would if you were going to a wedding.
