In some conservative denominations (such as the Free Church) it is still very common for ladies to wear hats to attend worship and all wear fairly formal clothes, but in most congregations (especially of the Church of Scotland and Roman Catholic Church) there is increasing diversity - the social pressure for ladies to wear hats is greatly reduced compared with the 1950s. In some congregations the vast majority of worshippers will be casually dressed.
