The focus of communion dress is usually the girl participants. They traditionally wear ornate white gowns with veils, white gloves and shoes. The attire for boys is traditionally much simpler. The boys usually wear a white shirt and either a white or black suit. The appropriate shoes are patent leather dress shoes or loafers, whichever looks appropriate with the suit. Depending on your church, the suit color may be varied. Some parishes don’t require a suit at all. The attire modifications for a boy’s first communion include khakis and a dress shirt, suit color variations in navy, gray, brown and more. More progressive churches allow parents to make their own choice. The first communions are thus a hodgepodge of formal suits and casual khakis, unlike the traditional uniform black or white clad communion participants marching up the aisle.
