Next time you go buy a house and the realtor shows up and in a Goodwill Special outfit...let me how you feel about that I'd view that differently. I expect a successful realtor to be able to afford to dress nicely, I'd assume that a realtor that shows up in a goodwill special isn't very good at his job. God doesn't care how much money I make.

50% of the people didn't used to be obese, and made an attempt to not be. Used to be people didn't wear their pants down at their knees to show off their underwear. People didn't used to pay double for jeans faded and ripped to shreds right outta the store. Society is simply going downhill at a fast rate. Personally, I like to wear camo cuz it makes me feel pretty.

However, the realtors that really make me gag are the women with the bleach-blond big hair, lots of bling, and the leopard print blouse or skirt.

We dressed up for church when I was a kid. I now wear jeans, nice shoes, and a dress shirt. Half in my church are slacks and shirt. Half are jeans and a buttoned shirt. But, I've on occasion work a T-shirt if I was taking my teen Sunday School class somewhere after church.
I prefer casual. The un-churched already think we think we're better than everyone else. A jacket and tie just perpetuates that image and keeps people away. I wouldn't join a yacht club that required jacket and tie just because I'd figure that I wouldn't fit in. I'm not jacket and tie people. I don't want to keep anyone out of church for the same reason. If they come in sweat pants and a wife beater, I think we should be glad they've done the scary step of coming through the door.

Let's see, 50 to 75 dollar pair of slacks, 35 to 50 dollar button up shirt, and a 25 dollar tie.
Most people can afford to "dress" up for church if they put their mind to it.
Call me old-fashioned but I believe it's a sign of respect.
But then again I dress that way for funerals, weddings, graduations, my kid's awards banquets and the list goes on. It might be the same couple of pairs of pants and shirts but I believe it's better than jeans or God forbid(pun intended) shorts or sweatpants . Again I guess I'm old fashioned.

I reckon if you have the means go ahead and dress up for the Bridegroom. If not, I reckon He will be glad your there.

Most of my church background is pretty conservative. I'm still trying to wrap my head around electric guitars and drums backing up the choir. I've never been to a church that used anything other than an organ. Except maybe for Christmas specials where someone might have an acoustic guitar. But I'm pretty sure I wouldn't care for electric guitars and drums!! I'm of the belief you should dress up, at least somewhat. I'm not saying suit and tie and dresses are mandatory, but at least a nice pair of slacks and blouse/dress shirt.

We used to dress up growing up in church. I've been to all kinds. Now I go to church in clean jeans usually. I don't think God cares.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.
