Toyosi Etim-Effiong recently sparked a conversation about what’s appropriate to wear to church, encouraging women to choose modest outfits when attending services.
On August 25, 2024, Toyosi shared her thoughts on Instagram, urging women to make a clear distinction between what they wear to the club and what they wear to church. She highlighted the sacredness of the church as a place of worship.
In her post, Toyosi wrote, “Ladies, let’s be mindful of our attire in church. The outfit for a night out isn’t the same as the one for church. Church is meant to be a holy place, where you come to connect with GOD – your creator, the King whom even earthly kings honor, the One your bosses recognize as the ALMIGHTY!”
She continued by questioning why it seems like more respect is shown in dressing for other occasions than for church. “Is church about GOD or something else? And if it’s about both, what should be our priority?” she asked.
Her message has since ignited a discussion, with many reflecting on the importance of dressing with reverence in sacred spaces.

Toyosi Etim-Effiong’s recent Instagram post about appropriate church attire has sparked a variety of reactions online. While many users expressed support for her message, others took issue with the post, labeling it as overly judgmental. The mix of responses highlights the ongoing debate about how to approach dressing modestly for church services.
Toyosi Etim-Effiong’s recent post on Instagram about church attire has led to a lively debate. One user criticized her sharply, saying, “Hush! 🤐 Who made you the fashion police of churchgoers? If that’s all I have to wear, that’s what I’ll wear. What matters is attending church, not being judged. I’m sure God cares more about my inner self than my outer appearance. No thanks for nothing.”
In contrast, another user supported Toyosi’s perspective, advocating for modesty. She wrote, “Believers should strive for modesty in all aspects of life. The Holy Spirit should guide us to dress appropriately. Regardless of where we are, modesty reflects our respect for ourselves and our faith. You are a treasured creation bought by the precious blood of Jesus. Let’s avoid exposing ourselves and practice modesty.
