I recently have started studying Wicca, and all the other Wiccans I've met seem to wear long flowy skirts, peasant tops, and gobs of jewelry. I'm really more comfortable in a polo shirt and a pair of Dockers. Do I have to start dressing differently now?
Well, you can if you want to. There’s no Wiccan Membership Book, however, telling you that it’s time to drop your khakis and polo shirts and exchange them for flowing robes and lots of black eyeliner. However, just like in any other religion, Wiccans and Pagans are people.
Some people like jeans and t-shirts, others like pink tutus, and some like to dress like they’re always at the Renaissance Faire. It’s entirely up to you what you wear. Be who you are, and be happy about it.
A word of advice: just because you’ve got a newly discovered spiritual path doesn’t mean everyone you come in contact with wants to hear about it. You don’t have to wear a pentacle the size of a dinner plate just because you’ve decided Wicca is the right path for you.
