Appropriate Attire for a Funeral?
Really 'duh' question....
I have to go to a funeral tomorrow. I haven't been to a lot of 'full on' church funerals. Its a catholic funeral, not saying it makes a lot of difference, but I have only been to one other one and I can't remember what I wore, but the family is really really strict catholic so I don't want to dress innappropriately and offend someone  .Am I supposed to wear all black? Or is colour ok? Obviously I don't mean bright shiny happy colours  I am really struggling to find something to wear... Help!

Re: Appropriate Attire for a Funeral?
A bit of colour is fine J...
Nowadays they aren't so strict on wearing black but you should dress in a way that shows respect to the deceased... If that makes sense?

Re: Appropriate Attire for a Funeral?
I would wear black skirt/pants and a plain colour (I wore dark green) top. And simple black shoes. That would be okay for a formal church funeral (that's what I wore to a church funeral last week) I think. If you think modest colours and styles you should be right.
I haven't been to a catholic funeral though.

Definitely something sombre but not always black. I have a grey skirt suit that I have worn many times - and I have been to 3 day long funerals before

Wear dark modest clothing. No cleavage, nothing showing knees

Re: Appropriate Attire for a Funeral?
Yep, I'd keep it to 'sombre'/muted colours, and simple, modest styles.

Re: Appropriate Attire for a Funeral?
At a catholic funeral, you will find that all the family & close friends will wear black head to toe. Most other people will wear dark/drab colours & 'modest' clothing styles as Sarah & Georgie suggested.
