In a statement released Sunday, church officials gently reminded members that “modesty still has sleeves,” following a wave of YSA men showing up to sacrament meeting in sleeveless white shirts and ties. The trend, nicknamed “Celestial Flex Sundays,” reportedly began after the Church’s new garment styles hit distribution centers, inspiring some brethren to “let the deltoids breathe.”
Local bishops have responded with mixed feelings, praising the enthusiasm for cleaner lines and tighter fits but reminding members that “the priesthood power flows just fine through cotton.” Ward leaders are now bracing for rumors of a matching sleeveless suit coat.
