I was always taught that you put a little effort in your appearance. It was a sign of respect. You respected the church enough to wear your "best" clothes.

Sunrise service at 6am we were all dressed in our Sunday best, Jackets, shirts and ties,even on my 15 month old grandson.

Whoever taught you that was correct IMO. It has to do with setting the day apart from other days. Sunday is a holy day. Selected by God. "Holy" means seperate, apart, different. Many people dress differently on Sundays to show that respect to the Lord's day.

It doesn't have to be fancy, just clean, neat and different. A poor person with no different clothes will be welcomed by God whatever they wear if they have the right attitude in their heart. It isn't the clothes themselves that count, it's the intention to make the day special, to bring yourself formally into the presence of the Lord.

My two cents.
