I'd like to start, just a fun topic on SGM dress. Since 1994 when I first seen the Kingsmen, I have seen them in Suits, Matching Suits, Slacks and Button up shirts, and Slacks and Matching Polo shirts.
What is everyone's opinion on how groups out to look. Personally, I think that suit and tie too formal,too hot, and seems to me would be very hard to keep clean and have places for them on an extended tour.
My favorite look for the Kingsmen was when I saw them at Dollywood with matching slacks and matching polos. Nice look, and I'm sure very cool for the singers.

I have always been far more interested in how the artists walks when they are not on stage than what they wear on stage.

Dress should depend on the enviorment and place of singing. Don't like to see groups have to sing in suits in an outside venue on the 4th of July when its 100*. It just makes me hotter. Groups look great in casual dress inside venues also. Kingdom Heirs always look nice at Dollywood. They are not in suits but in casual clothing which is appropriate for the venue.

Amen! Amen!
Love that thought....
However, I will say that we totally use the rule that most have stated here. We dress according to the venue, circumstances, etc....
Some days we dress alike......some days we don't......just depends on where we're going and what the circumstances are. Sometimes we're casual and sometimes dressy.

I'll opt for appearance and comfort over "style" any day myself. But then I'm old enough that no one cares if I'm in style or not any way.

I don't think there's anything we can do as humans to "give the Word more power." The Word is the Word, whether it's given by somebody dressed to the nines in the finest suits money can buy, or a vagabond street musician with tattered clothes and a pawn shop guitar.
But that's just me.....

We travel most of the time in NC, Va and SC. We have for years and do around 70 to 80 dates a year. I can tell you from our experience that when we are in churches that most of them like it when we wear suits.

Maybe so, but there is an awful lot we can do to distract from the Word and get in the way.

Wow, a lot of good opinions here. I really didnt know when I started the thread if anyone would care to post on this topic. I think its a fun topic though, and really appreicate everyone's participation.
I totally agree that the "walk" is far more important tht the talk. Nothing hurts worse than to see a Christian singer or preacher involved in the wrong kind of things.
On the tie issue, I hate them. I never wear ties to church. I never seen the big deal about ties. My grandpa is a Baptist preacher and his ties usually dont last too awfully long, or his jacket for that matter!!
I think in general they make people look stiff, especially big guys like me!!! I really like the new looks that I have seen where even inside groups will wear a jacket and button up shirt with no tie. I think it is a nice compromise between formal and casual.
I wouldnt mind a group that didnt wear suits in church honestly. There is a local Baptist pastor in my hometown that wears a sweatervest over a button up shirt with no tie, or a nice pair of pants and a polo shirt.
He is very neatly dressed, and seems very comfortable and very approachable.

I agree people do look for leadership, but let's not forget, Christ looked just like everyone else. He had to be pointed out to the mob. The Sanhedrin wore the nice stuff!!  Leadership and strength come from within.
