Funeral clothes

I’m attending my nieces funeral tomorrow. Nobody has mentioned a dress code but I’m wearing a black and white summer dress which I bought recently, with a black bag and black shoes . I just hope it doesn’t rain as I can’t carry an umbrella.

How terribly sad thisismyname.

Just buy something from Vinted. Wear it to the funeral then sell it on.

I wore black to the last funeral that I went to .but I was asked to wear a bright floral dress to the funeral of a dear friend to celebrate her love of flowers just a few months before .One of my friends had to buy a floral dress as she didn't have one in her wardrobe .
Sadly as we get older funerals occur more frequently .
I'm not fond of jackets ( they make my bottom look big )and have a black coat and wear a dress underneath .
I have a few black ones though they do have some embroidery on them .
I've stopped panicking about what to wear as I've spent lots of unnecessary money and found that other people are more casual .
Have a look on ebay .

Go to a charity shop?

I've been amazed at what people wear to a funeral, anything seems to go nowadays. Jeans I've seen being worn, as some have suggested look on Vinted or a charity shop as often I don't want to wear the item again.

Does it really matter what colour or style you wear ?
The fact that someone has turned up at the funeral is respect enough to my mind.

I’m sorry for your loss. As others have said, funerals today don’t always require black. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in. A smart outfit in muted tones like grey, navy, or other neutral shades, perhaps trousers or a skirt with a coordinating jacket, strikes the right balance between respect and practicality. It’s perfectly acceptable to avoid buying something new you’ll seldom wear. Above all, your presence and support in this difficult time matter.

Opening up a charity shop one morning found our first customer, a man in a rush on the way to a funeral. He had forgotten to put his suit jacket and black tie in the car. No suit in stock but he bought a dark blue blazer and a black tie. We were happy to be able to help.
Last week I went to the funeral of a young man who loved his football team, we were invited to wear the appropriate colours instead of black. So I did, trousers and top in those colours. Many of the young man’s friends wore football shirts, the coffin bearers had especially ordered ones with ‘Forever 25’ on the backs. However all the older women , and several younger ones, were in smart deepest black, I may have stood out a little…
