can i wear this to a funeral?

[savy57]

black cardi vest top, dark skinny jeans n black ballet pumps

or should i go buy some dress trousers and a nice top, funeral is tomorrow afternoon so will need to go shopping in the morning so need some advice asap
thank you in advance for any replys

I would say that is fine tbh, people won't be looking at the material/ cut of any trousers ime, it's not like they are red skinnies

I would say what you have suggested is fine too.

The main thing is that you are comfortable in the heat, but respectful, which you are !

thank you for the replies im glad thats suitable enough, i no nobody will be looking at my clothes what so ever but didnt want to turn up and have anybody look at me thinking i should be much more smartly dressed

I think it depends on your age and your relation to the person. If it's a parent or child then I don't think jeans are appropriate. If you're young (i.e. teens) then you might get away with it. It's worth investing in a black shift dress or something similar - it will serve you well for years for all sorts of occasions, not just funerals.

ive never wore a dress in my life so thats defo a no lols and its my uncles funeral and i am mid 20's

Funerals aren't what they used to be, and more and more nowadays people are using them to celebrate a persons life, as well as mourn their passing.

Whereas it used to be a good idea to have a funeral outfit, having been to a few I find more families and people request that you don't wear black. It tends to be people that didn't immediately know the person, or know them 'intimately' that wear black, hence showing respect.

I wouldn't worry too much. Personally, I think people who take an interest in what others wear to someone's funeral should be perhaps concentrating on who and why they are actually there. And think how lovely that people bothered to turn up and show their respect for the person whose funeral it is.

thanks mrsVamos totaly agree was just slightly over worrying i will just go with what i intended to wear

I don't think it matters too much, I've never been at a funeral where everyone was actually wearing black and dressy clothes. Most people just wear dark stuff.

Don't worry OP.

You'll be going to a lot more funerals ime, I keep a dress for funerals and shoes so I'm good to go.

Honestly we had a spate of them.

sounds fine, black isn't necessary for christian funerals any more

I think dark stuff is fine too. TBH, just being there, showing you cared about the deceased and giving some support to their family is what it's all about. No one takes fashion notes.

Hope it all goes OK, savy57.

Sounds wrong, but you know what I mean.
