The Liturgical Style Guide was created to invite Catholics to intentionally dress with the Liturgical Year of the Catholic Church. No more panic when deciding what to wear for a particular Mass or feast day! Instead, journey through the Liturgical Year with Mary Harper to discover:

• Tips on how to dress for the liturgical seasons and major feast days

• The significance of clothing found throughout Scripture and Tradition

• The theological significance of textiles and colors

• How to apply your personal style to the colors of the liturgical seasons

• Visual aid: color palettes, textile swatches, sacred art, fashion photography, and museum sketches

• For Ages 8-108, The Liturgical Style Guide has been written as a timeless source for inspiration and creativity in the Liturgical Year. Beloved by college students, mothers and daughters, those well seasoned in their faith, and those discovering the Catholic faith.

“Mary Harper has written a beautiful book about how the Church calendar can shape the way we dress. The book itself is truly gorgeous—with beautiful images—and the theology and intentionality behind her ideas is first-rate. I confess, at this stage in my life, the thought of dressing with liturgical intent overwhelms me; I am just happy to get dressed in real clothes every day. But my younger, single, childless self would have gone cuckoo over this book. I highly recommend it as a fun gift for teenage daughters and the young adult women in your life.” —Emily Stimpson Chapman author of These Beautiful Bones: An Everyday Theology of the Body
