In my country, people usually don't go to church or temple in shorts and of course not to school, college or office. I have heard that people in western countries go for a walk in the morning and on the way they go to church or temple. I have also seen in English movies people going to university in shorts.

Do you go to church or temple wearing shorts?
Is it ok to go to school in shorts in your country?

Yes, we can go to church in shorts. But not short shorts that already a way of disrespecting your God as well as Sleeveless both men and women.

That is a new information for me. If we go to church in shorts, the priest will give as lecuture at the end of the holy mass about the importance of wearing proper dress to church. We usually don't wear sleeveless to church, even if we wear, we will cover the sleeves with a shawl. I would prefer to wear shorts if allowed, atleast in some days.

I won't never wear shorts in my Church. Here we think that's disrespecteaful for the sacred place we're in but sometimes i found people that do that and people just saw them like :How can he/she do that? but nothing more happends. Funny topic


myLot reputation of 90/100. kent_help2smile (5080)  3 years ago

We are allowed to wear shorts. But not short shorts! Our religion is not that strict. As long as you decency to your fellow member and to the eyes of God, that's fine. But wearing sleeveless aren't pleasing to all as well as to our God.

on wearing shorts. we may think it is disrespectful but did anyone ever ask god what he/she thinks about it? what if it's not disrespectful after all? how about people who can't afford to dress nicely? can't they go to church just because they have little or no clothes to wear? only people say it's disrespectful...but what god says, we do not know. "the eyes of god"...ask yourself...does god have eyes? what if god did not have eyes? nobody knows. we cannot assume. the church in my neighborhood doesn't allow the wearing of shorts and sleeveless shirts, although i think what matters is you sincerity to worship your god. if you fear you will distract other people then stay somewhere secluded, say at the back of the church so very few people will notice.

No, I don't go to church wearing shorts. We must wear clothes appropriate for a venue or occasion. But there are universities here which don't require uniforms and thus students wear civilaina clothes. And some students male or female wear shorts to school. Short shorts are not allowed but anyways some still wear them but most teachers don't allow entry of students.
I wore walking shorts to the office once like knee high shorts during Fridays but the boss said otherwise. So, I wore a mini skirt instead because it was really hot and humid. Well, I just got a stare because the policy was no shorts but it did not say so about mini skirts. LOL

No, I don't go to church wearing only shorts...that is not right..We should respect the holy place, which is the church... Others tend to wear that but I do think it's not good...

I respect church but I've gone to church in shorts. Admittedly, it wasn't in like...a cathedral or a stone church, my church is what, I guess you could call, one of those "modern churches". But I mean...seriously...long pants in 40 degree heat? You've gotta be kidding me!

Well church should not be about what you wear but we don't ever go to the services in shorts. However when we are practicing or just having a social activity we sometimes do come in shorts. That's because it's a more formal gathering. One time this lady walked into church with a swim suit (short pants and top) covered by a vest in the middle of the sermon. I almost died. I mean it's not about what your wearing but wow that was to the extreme.

I have been to church wearing dressy shorts, but i certainly didn't feel comfortable because many people thought it strange, even disrespectful.
Wearing shorts to school is fine in my country, they are part of the summer uniform, as for wearing shorts in public, most truck drivers wear nothing but shorts and a singlet.

no i don't. i have never been to a church wearing shorts. i think it would be disgraceful to wear shorts and go to a temple, we should respect our sayings and culture. i would never ever do that because it would not look good to go to a temple or a church wearing shorts.


myLot reputation of 97/100. daliaj (4043)   ranked 348 out of 32,957 in life  3 years ago

Yes, it is also against my cluture to go to church in shorts. Priests are very strict about it. We are also not supposed to wear shorts to school or college. People wear shorts only at home. I think we should give respect to god by not wearing shorts to church. Thanks for the response. Happy mylotting.

wearing shorts in church was a no-no in the past. even ladies wearing pants are being frowned by people and the church. lately, however, this has changed. i can see people (men and women) wearing shorts ... not the short shorts but the ones hanging up to the knee or lower. they are not the shorts that are tight-fitting, too. they look decent enough. i know of one school in our country where students are free to wear shorts... but not the very short ones.

When I went to high school my school did not allow anyone to come in shorts. That was around 15 years ago. Times have changed, however, and I think most schools may allow students to come in shorts. As for work, I think that depends on the type of job. If you worked on Wall Street and you showed up to your office in shorts I think they would think you had gone mad. If you work for Google, then I think you could show up in your underwear. As for a church, temple, or any place of worship I feel it is not correct to do so. They may allow it these days, but everyplace has their own code and a place of worship should be maintained as a place of worship. What I mean is you shouldn't show up to church looking like your ready to go to the beach.

No way would I wear shorts to church! I have worn pants, but felt very out of place although some other women do wear pants to church. We have had visitors come in with shorts and revealing clothes. You have to assume that those who do that just either don't know or don't care.
