Funeral Attire for tomorrow

[lovemynewflowers]

Thinking of wearing this Phase Eight jumpsuit , with a black jacket and black R&B loafers/flats.
Does Black and Navy work for occasions like this ?

I really like it but it would depend on how 'traditional' the funeral is likely to be. My gut feeling is that it's probably not very 'funeraly' but I am more likely to err on the more traditional side.

I have been to some funerals where it might be frowned upon and you would stick out as the only one not in black or more sombre clothing. At other funerals people have worn jeans/pumps and you would fit in fine.

Dress code is conservative but I will be the only one under 60 there I think so need to bring a bit of liveliness to proceedings!
You'd be shocked about the dress I'm wearing on Saturday to my mums funeral !

wouldn't bother me, but it doesn't fit the 'conservative funeral' brief.

I wore a short skirt high heel shoes and low cut top to my friend's elderly mother's funeral. Because the three of is used to got out on a Wednesday night and get plastered and behave inappropriately. I was 20 my friend 40 her mum in her 70s and practically housebound. The looks I got but I can still see "mum" given the haters the finger from beyond the grave! By this time I generally dressed much more conservative but I wore those clothes to honour this awesome old battleaxe that could drink me under the table

However I think that looks like pyjamas - sorry x

Why would you buy that for a funeral? Either wear something plain and dark or wear something else that shows you are deliberately not wearing something plain and dark. That looks like you don't know what you are doing tbh.

Top ok with black trousers but the trousers and top together look a bit, tacky

It looks disrespectful to me.

It’s an outfit for a party not a funeral

I think with the jacket buttoned up it'll look ok, I didn't buy it for the funeral!!

It looks more like holiday or nightclub wear than a funeral outfit.
If you'll be the only u60, I'd advise against.

It's dark colours predominantly so I would've thought it would be ok

I'm assuming people read the op where I put I'm wearing it with black smart flat shoes , where the trousers fall to the feet also.

The last few funerals I have been to (sadly three last year) plenty of women have worn black trousers and black background floral tops , sometimes with black jackets, coats or cardis.. All were fine.

One funeral was very traditional religious and the deceased's daughter and her DGds all wore black floral..

So I'd say fine

Why ask if you're going to get defensive about replies?

Think it very much depends on the type of funeral. My Dad's was on Monday. I wore a black and pastel flowery dress with a wrap and high heels, my DM had on a black skirt & jumper with a bright pink jacket that DF bought her for her birthday. My MiL also had bright pink accessories but both my parents would have hated everyone to wear plain black.

The fact that you're the only one under 60 has me slightly concerned that you will get as much (if not more) tutting from assorted old ladies as my DS (3) got at my DF's despite sitting perfectly still and not uttering a sound for the entire Church service.

I really wouldn't x

You’re not serious are you?

You're obviously going to wear it anyway. But you will be talked about and judged.

I don't think I have the energy to start picking new outfits at this time of night but I will show you the dress I'm wearing for my dm's Funeral , look away pearl clutchers!

A funeral isn’t the place for making a fashion statement or ‘brightening up proceedings’ IMO and seems a little distasteful. Sorry.

Love both those outfits. Especially the one for your mums, funerals are a celebration of a life and I hope the days go as well as they can

@anothernextsale it's actually my wedding dress which my mum and me chose for me to wear to her funeral.

I'm going to a funeral next week in a Bananaman t-shirt and my son in a Bananaman onesie. That outfit is fine!
