4) Is it culturally appropriate?
- In other words, what's the general tone of attire in the church? If everyone else is in a suit, then err toward the side of formal dress. If everyone else is in jeans and tees, then err toward the side of more "casual" dress.

Thoughts?
Interesting! You know, if you were at Worship in a less than affluent area and men were wearing their best khakis or jeans, I think we would have to think about how it would look showing up in a 2000 dollar Armani suit. To a degree despite the fact that this might be your "finest" you would have to consider that you might be bringing shame to your Brethren. Good point Rae.
