Assessing the context first is the secret to getting your wardrobe right every time. In this case, since communion is a sacred ceremony that takes place in a church, your outfit should help you project seriousness.

If your first impulse when receiving the invitation was to take refuge in one of your office suits, you were perfectly on track. After all of the above, It will not be surprising to you that the safe bet to attend a communion as a guest is the suit. Consider classic colors like black, navy blue, and different shades of gray. You should also pay attention to the cut. You can go get a tailored suit or choose one suitable for your body type and have it fixed if necessary to achieve an optimal fit.

There are times when you can substitute a shirt for a shirt, but in ceremonies it is better to stay traditional with your wardrobe, so combine your suit with a shirt and reserve the rest of the options for more informal occasions. Therefore, to dress according to this first option you will need a white or light blue shirt to add to your suit.

What footwear is the most suitable for a communion? If you have decided to wear a suit, do not stay half and extend the classic style to your shoes. Although running shoes can work with a suit, the best way to go to church are dress shoes or loafers.

When it comes to accessories, start by adding a plain or discreet patterned tie. Choosing traditional motifs in their most classic versions you will never go wrong. Finish off your look with an elegant watch and a pocket square. Belts are best avoided unless absolutely necessary, especially when it comes to dress pants.

Blazer and pants

If you prefer to avoid the suit, you should know that you can relax the wardrobe a little, displacing some elements, such as the full suit and the tie. The key for your communion look to continue working, despite not including a suit, is not to do without the jacket. Go for a modern blazer.

What do I wear with the jacket? Consider the following pieces to attend a communion in a somewhat less formal way, but which, like the previous one, will help you to be more than up to the occasion. Add to the chosen jacket a shirt and pants (they can be chinos or dark blue jeans if you wish) and dress shoes.

As for the colors, if you bet on blazer and dress pants, play with neutral colors. For example, if your jacket is navy blue, you can add elegant gray or brown pants at the bottom. Other appropriate options for the style of your jacket are elegant squares, gray and other shades of blue that are somewhat brighter than the typical navy blue.
