Pastor Styles

Here are two styles that pastors enjoy sporting on Sunday mornings.

First is the style I have coined the "British Politician" or sometimes simply the "Casual Politician." It consists of a full suit or a sport coat with a lightly colored/patterned, open collared shirt. This look has found its way into many churches who want their pastors to be more "approachable."

Second is the style I like to call the "Substitute Teacher." Typically black slacks are accompanied by a short-sleeved dress shirt and a tie. Judgement can be rendered about his church's giving habits because this look tends to mean the pastor can't afford an air-conditioning unit (or at least that's what it meant in the 70's).
