Headed to church this spring? Whether it is part of your weekly routine or you have a special event like Easter or a baptism to attend, it's important to know what to wear to church. You want to be respectful since it is a place of worship. You also want to look and feel your best, too! And that's the conundrum, right? How do you look stylish but still be appropriate? Well, here are all the spring church outfit ideas to get you started, along with guidelines to follow.

The good news (besides the gospel, of course) is that spring is the perfect time to get dressed for church. You never know what the weather is going to be, and so longer lengths like trendy midi dresses have (quite literally) got you covered. Layers also work like a charm. You'll make sure your shoulders are covered and keep you cozy in a drafty church. And just think of all the pastels and floral dresses you can wear!

Of course, there are non-dress options like polished pants and pretty blouses included as well. You'll also find a few accessories, because it's not a complete outfit without them. (Seriously, you'll need shoes anyway, so you might as well make them cute and comfy.) So take a scroll through and find the right look for you. Then prepare to be seasonally appropriate—both for the weather and for the venue!

Here's more inspiration if you need it:
