Smart outfit for funeral

[encroyable]

Close family members funeral in a few weeks. I don't have it in me to brave the shops at the moment but I really want to look smart. I was thinking perhaps a black boucle jacket and trousers? I like Zara, mint velvet, river island usually. Never thought I'd be shopping for this funeral so am finding it very tough. Any suggestions welcome 🙏🏻

Sorry for your loss.

Buy something you would wear again - it’s only one day. It’s not a fashion show, but a day to show your respect. So wear ‘office wear’ type clothing, in black or dark colours.

The suggestions you have listed sound fine.

My condolences, @encroyable.

This is from Massimo Dutti (so Zara adjacent but a bit better quality):

Would co-ordinate with most of their trousers. It only goes to a size 14 though.

This Mango jacket is more classic in shape:

This Cos jacket is not quite the same shape but might be worth considering, particularly as there are co-ordinating trousers. Cropped, but full length probably also available:
