In the face of doubts and dilemmas about what to wear and how to dress, here we come to rescue you and help you look impeccable for this special occasion, such as a communion. So, when you dress, you don’t just look good but also hit the look to wear.

 

What to wear to a communion?

 

Garments

 

Regarding the type of garments, we can choose skirts or knee-length or midi dresses, panties, skirts and jacket suits or pants and jackets.

 

The use of miniskirts or exaggerated necklines and gloves, whether short, long, lace, or crocheted, should be avoided. Since these are for high-etiquette events.

 

 

 

 

Colors and patterns

 

Usually, this type of event occurs during the spring and early summer, in addition to being done during the day.

 

So, the ideal is light, neutral, and navy-blue tones, which can be combined with vibrant tones of the season, such as strawberries, green, or coral.

 

As we already mentioned, this occasion is also ideal for using light, bright and light prints and colors. Always light and neutral ones, avoiding dark colors and satin and shiny fabrics.

 

Shoes

 

High heels and sandals are well received and depend on the type of celebration that takes place.

 

You can even wear espadrilles, concerning colors in camel or some spring tone, it will be perfect.

 

Say no to boots, ankle boots, black shoes, or bright, extravagant, flashy shoes.

 

 

 

Bags and purses

 

Here the option is wide since you can use large handbags, tote type, or even handbag or clutch type that does not have shiny elements or is elegant.

 

Hair

 

Loose hair, tails, and braids can be perfect for these occasions, especially if the weather is hot or humid. You can also include a headband, simple headdress, or small flower crown.

 

Very elaborate or excessively polished hairstyles should not be worn.

 

Accessories

 

Pearls, mother-of-pearl, and wood are ideal to complete natural looks, leaving aside ostentatious and flashy jewelry.

 

Make-up

 

The makeup should look as natural as possible as it is a day event.

 

So, you should opt for an earthy and pink tone.

 

Eyes with smoke shadows, red lips, and those very loaded at night are a mistake.

 

Forbidden colors for a communion

 

White

 

It is the color of the communicants who are the protagonists of this celebration.

 

So as at weddings, this color must be discarded by the guests.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Black

 

It is the opposite color to the previous one and is also prohibited.

 

Since this celebration takes place between morning and afternoon, dark colors are unsuitable for it.

 

Also, if we go to the psychology of color, black has a somewhat negative meaning since it is associated with mourning.

 

On the other hand, it is used for very elegant occasions, so it is not wise to wear it to a communion.

 

Animal Print

 

Because it is a bold and striking pattern, it is unsuitable for a daytime and religious event.

 

In addition, it requires other eye-catching accessories and makeup that are not ideal for this event.

 

Therefore, set it aside.

 

 

 

Denim

 

Or Jean fabric, which is undoubtedly a practically basic textile, but it is not easy to wear for events of this type, where formality is a rule.

 

And, on the contrary, you could end up looking very casual and informal.

 

So it is better to leave the garments of this type of fabric for another occasion.

 

 

 

Red

 

Given what this color reflects and transmits, it is unsuitable for communions.

 

Red is a very striking color, which denotes sensuality and passion.

 

So its use should be reserved for evening events, more elegant and striking so that it would take away the prominence of children or their parents.

 

 

 

Types of dresses recommended for a communion

 

Polka Dot

 

It is a type of print that does not go out of style. It is ideal for daytime events and is a very classy and elegant print.

 

Flowers

 

The ideal spring print is the flowery one, which is widely used for this occasion.

 

Because you will be more than ready and groomed for a communion with only this type of print.

 

Embroidery

 

Embroidered fabrics are also ideal for this. Whether it is chopped material, with lace, or with embroidered details, they are also perfect to wear in a communion, and it is a safe bet to wear successfully.

 

Always keep in mind that the children who receive this sacrament are the true protagonists of this celebration. And that as guests, we should not overshadow them, being the parents who set the tone regarding the dress code.

 

So with this guide, you will be more than prepared to look impeccable and perfect for the occasion.
