Need help on outfit for weekend
Permalink Closed


So unfortunately I'm going to a funeral this weekend.  I haven't been to one since I was about 10 years old, so I have no idea what is appropriate to wear. 


I know all the men will be in suits - is it okay if I go with black pants and a black sweater of some sort?  For some reason, I feel like I should wear a suit, but I'm not sure. Help?

Coming from someone who has never been to a funeral, I would think black pants and a nice sweater would be fine. Fashion for men tends to be black and white (casual or a suit), but women have all sorts of gray area.

Anything nice is fine, so long as it's black (although I've been to funerals where not everyone wears black). 


I think what you are planning on wearing is fine.  Sorry you even have the occasion to go.

I'm so sorry you have to attend a funeral.


What you plan on wearing is fine as long as it's conservative and respectful in my opinion. These days you need no only wear black as long as it's a dark color.

Sorry to hear about your loss.


I am not really sure why I know a lot about this subject...but...


Dark colors of any kind are really appropriate now.  And basic black pants with a sweater will be fine.


The most recent funeral I went to I wore a gray pantsuit.  When my best friend's mother passed away and she wore a black sateen suit.

Thanks for the help girls!  I appreciate it.  I think I'm going with black pants and I'll have to go shopping for a black top.  The sweater I had in mind has a deeper V on it than I prefer, and the last thing I want to look is inappropriate.  Thanks again!
