dc.description.abstractReligion is conceived to be greater than an array of beliefs by some people as they are often translated into action. These actions are often showcased in a multitude of ways ranging from the erection of cathedrals of worship to dressing in a particular manner. A key purpose of religious dressing is to exemplify holiness or purity which is usually interpreted to mean morality. Morality entails actions viewed to be proper as distinguished from improper ones. It is in line with this that a study was carried out in Ilorin metropolis in order to establish if there is a significant relationship between the adornment of religious attires and the engagement in moral acts. The social control theory was employed to explain this phenomenon with purposive sampling used in the selection of respondents. The analysis was based on 210 respondents with the use of the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences. The study revealed that the adornment of religious attires has a significant relationship with the engagement in moral acts. Based on this, the study recommends that people should be encouraged to dress to their religious requirement as long as the general public is not put in danger.
