What type of clothing do priests wear?
Catholics and Episcopalians are the only two denominations that call clergy "priests". Nearly ALL priests can and do wear street clothes when they are not working. This includes summer attire of shorts, shirt, sneakers/tennis shoes or sandals; and winter clothing of pants, shirt, and dress shoes. Episcopalians have female priests, so they also wear dresses, or skirts and blouses. When working, priests wear a black shirt, and black pants / slacks. )Episcopal priests also wear light blue shirts.) The black or blue shirt can be worn with a full band white collar or others prefer a tab collar that fits only in the front of the shirt. Over top of that, Catholic priests may wear a cassock or alb over the black attire and full collar. In services, priests wear a variety of different vestments over their black street clothing. Very colorful and symbolic vestments are worn for certain church holidays and to match the liturgical calendar. For example, purple is often worn for Easter.
