I don't think I've ever seen a woman wear a pant suit or dress slacks + blouse to LDS church services in my life. I attend church without a tie about 25% of the time and the only person who's ever given me flak about it has been my wife; do you think a woman wearing a pant suit to your ward would get the same non-chastisement as the non-tie-wearing me has gotten? or do you think a priesthood guy in your ward would say something to her?

Pants? Yes.
Pant Suits? No.
Tank tops? Yes.
Strapless or thin strapped dresses? No. -
Our Bishop's wife in a prior ward wore a pant suit or dress slacks almost every week.Originally posted by scottie View Post
She worked in the nursery and said it was the only practical thing to wear -- that made sense to me. But she was a pretty liberal-minded person and a convert. I always wondered if one of the reasons she worked in the nursery was so she wouldn't have to sit through the classes.Comment

My ward's median age is about 50. I'd venture that it wouldn't go over well. I quit wearing a dress shirt to church in March, save a couple of exceptions (I wear a white guayabera instead), and they extended a call to me yesterday, so I think that I'm slowly effecting a change."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action.

We have two sisters in our ward who wear pants to church. They are both filipino. I'm not really sure what that means."Be a philosopher. A man can compromise to gain a point.

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

We have sisters wearing pants suits to Church. I think the feeling against such things is dying out. Generational issues shouldn't be given doctrinal weight.Comment

I think it probably depends on the geographic location. I'm fairly certain that a woman in a pants suit in our ward would be looked upon with a large degree of disdain. This probably contributes to why I've never seen a woman in pants in our ward.
I personally don't think it's a big deal, any more than wearing colored dress shirts or no tie. But I'm uncertain it would be treated as such."You know, I was looking at your shirt and your scarf and I was thinking that if you had leaned over, I could have seen everything." ~Trial Ad JudgeComment
