Help needed, I have no idea what to wear

I am going to a funeral. The dress code is please don't wear black. Dress as if meeting friends for lunch at a pub.

I have some very nice well cut trousers (charity shop, the label says julienmacdonald, cream and black big splodgy pattern. I would really like a long or three quarter sleeved t-shirt in a bright colour, scoop neck, not sloppy fit to wear with them. I have a black one that I usually wear.

In fact I have been looking for something like this for ages, but casually looking and I don't live near a big town. I can't find anything - it seems as if long sleeves are forbidden in summer (if you call this summer). I have been looking on line, but I don't really know good makes. My usual clothes are a mix of charity shop, Primark, Decathalon, jeans and shirt/sweater/t shirt - my lifestyle is mostly outdoors and active, a fashion free zone

II am short and slim. My best colour is pink, but I'd want a dark shade, more like raspberry. White is no good because base colour of the trousers is cream. And no pattern obviously.

Any suggestions? I don't mind spending a decent amount. It must be on line.

Julian Macdonald was a Debenhams brand I think. The dress code was no black so avoid a black top. Can you not find a cream top from somewhere? This seems most sensible.

I would try Marks and Spencer, Boden, Arket, &OtherStories, John Lewis and have a good look through tops and shirts. I’m sure you will find something in a cream colour. Or possibly try red?

I love the jigsaw top and have ordered it. The kettlwell ones are lovely colours but I can see they will be too long for me. Thank you very much.
