Ministerial Fashion

Should pastors wear what's comfortable when preaching and performing ministerial duties, or should they wear formal attire? Is there a biblical standard for ministers to follow in terms of fashion?

Well, the women leaders should wear very fancy clothes with curled up, poofed up hair and high heels with scarves and such. But not a necklace or earrings or mascara. That would be worldly.

Well, if we are to be like Jesus, I suppose a robe, and sandals were his apparel.... somehow I can't see the Apostle Paul donning an $800.00 suit, $300.00 pair of shoes and a $50.00 tie to go around preaching the gospel

Nothing wrong with man necklaces for ministers in my opinion.

In one church I preached at, the pastor wouldn't allow me to take of my suit coat.
