Surely you have wondered at some point how to dress for a First Communion. And it is one of those occasions where you want to show off but be very careful to comply with the dress code protocol since it is such a family and child-centered event.

Therefore today, we are going to give you a series of tips to make things easier for you and to be the best dressed at this type of event without breaking your head.

Rules for dressing for a First Communion

If you want to get your First Communion looks right, you must follow these simple steps. You'll see they are very simple; the key lies in simplicity and elegance.

Maintain sobriety

It is a religious event held in a very family-oriented setting, so you should leave aside all kinds of long dresses, gowns, feathers, sparkles, and rhinestones. No diva behavior, sobriety and elegance must be the adjectives that define your looks.

Midi dresses and two-piece suits - whether pants or skirts - are the best options for dressing at a First Communion. Dresses with flare are also very suitable for this type of event, as they represent femininity and delicacy. Also, they look great on all body types.

The colors

As with weddings, white is not advisable at all (not to say it is totally forbidden), and black neither (although we love it and it is super sophisticated, it doesn't fit this type of event).

But don't worry, because you still have a great color range to choose from. The most suitable are pastel tones like dusty pink, violet, beige tones, or the color blue in all its variants (navy blue, light blue…).

Loud accessories are forbidden

No wide-brimmed hats, headpieces, or very extravagant hats. As we have said, it is a sober and elegant event, so this type of accessories have no place. However, if you choose a headband, a fine comb, or a hairpin, you will hit the mark perfectly.

The bags

Forget about maxi bags or clutches, since the latter are for much more formal and festive celebrations. The most suitable bag you can carry to a First Communion is a short-handle or medium-handle lady-style bag.

The shoes

But don't worry, because if you love high heels, you can wear them without any problem. In fact, they slim you down and will give a very feminine touch to your look, to compensate for the lack of rhinestones and sparkle. The most suitable are pumps, peep-toes, or even sandals; since these events usually take place in spring.

A good Fragrance

And of course, a good Fragrance that gives the final touch to your look cannot be missing. Opt for scents belonging to the floral olfactory family.
