To wear jeans to a christening?

[Greedytiger]

I am breastfeeding so can’t wear any of my usual dresses. Can I wear black jeans and a smart ish jumper?

I never seen jeans at a christening. Upto you.

Yes 💯

Yes. So long as you look like you've made an effort you are fine. Hair, makeup and accessories will matter.

Not appropriate

Inappropriate

Black jeans are fine unless your the godmother

Depends on so many things, to be honest - but technically, yes.

If you are a godparent, unless you know it's the kind of church everybody wears jeans, you will probably feel a bit conspicuously under-dressed. If you aren't, probably no one will notice, but it depends on your personality as to whether it would bother you if it turns out not to be a jeans-wearing church. (NB, I'm assuming you aren't the parent only because I assume that you know what goes in your own church )

Just a distant friend so definitely won’t be in any photos.

If I was a man would jeans and a shirt be acceptable?

It's fine.

Not appropriate?? For who? God? Pretty sure he doesn't care what people wear to church!

I am sure you have been invited because you are who you are, not what you wear.

Of course they are acceptable.

Black jeans, nice jumper and a blazer or similar would be pretty 😊

Totally fine. I'll be wearing jeans to my daughter's baptism in January, and I don't expect anyone at my church to mind in the slightest!

Of course you can. Like you said a man wouldn't even question wearing jeans. Wear what you are comfortable in.

You'd fit right in at our church (Baptisms are held during regular family services!)

Of course it’s fine - it’s not a dressy event. It’s a celebration for the baby not the adults. Usually lots of children there so jeans are probably most appropriate.

Why not wear a skirt and a top? I'm a breastfeeding mom too and all I wear is skirts with tops or wrap/buttoned dresses.

I wouldn't but I wouldn't expect anyone too, male or female.

Black jeans and a nice top would definitely be fine for any of the christening I’ve been to. Especially a winter one. Go for it!

Smart black jeans would be fine.

I don’t have a suitable skirt and top. My skirts are al summery and wouldn’t like right with tights.

I think it’s hideous when people dress up to the nines in full evening make up , hats , fascinators etc for a christening - usually just for social media

It's fine. I wore jeans to my own child's. As did lots of my friends who came

Could you find some smarter trousers which are a similar fit?

I don't think I would do this.
