Themes to help you pick an Easter and Passover outfit

Dressing for religious holidays can be difficult. Do you play to the wants of family or cater to your fashion desires? My dad, for one, would prefer it if I wore a parka everywhere. Dressing for these events when I was in my rebellious teen years was almost always a debacle. The skirt I picked was too short or the shirt I thought was alright wouldn't make it past my bedroom door.

Well, I am here to tell you that you can, in fact, submerge your fashion and family wants into lovely Easter and Passover outfits like this Glamour photo below.

There are a few themes to look for in selecting a respectable outfit. One is length. Dresses and skirts that go to the knee or under create the ideal silhouette. If you want to wear a shorter hem, wear tights underneath. That way you can still be covered. 

The tightness of your outfit is also important. Flippy skirts and a-line dresses are always a safe bet. The pencil skirt in the picture above is more form-fitting, but the pattern does not place emphasis on the body itself. If a top feels too close to the body, pair it with a blazer or loose cardigan. 

Heels. Do not go too high with the heel. Look for a cute kitten heel or maybe even a short boot. 

These are all ideas that can be easily paired to today's fashion. Actually, skater dresses are really in for this spring season. These kinds of dresses flare out while still flattering your body. 

Express has a lot of good options. And they are having a 40% off everything sale right now! 

Look for a skirts heavily patterned, like in my first picture. This idea does a really good job of incorporating spring into conservative holidays. Make sure to balance out a bold print with neutrals though. You don't want to look too busy.  

  

For guys, chinos can be easily dressed up or down. So if you aren't into wearing slacks these are a good option.
