Funerals are considered as respectful occasions, and knowing how to dress up for a funeral is a must. Dressing up for a funeral means dressing up not for yourself, but for the deceased. A funeral outfit represents grief, henceforth you need to be sensitive when choosing the right clothing and colors.

 Here are a few guidelines to follow:

When it comes to funeral outfits, make sure to wear a dark colored suit like black, grey and dark navy blue, along with a neutral color tie. Do not pair accessories like cufflinks with pocket squares to your suit as it will make your outfit look fancy which is not appropriate for a funeral. 

If you do not have a suit, wear a dark pair of trousers, preferably black or charcoal grey which is easily available at brandsco.com . Combine your trousers with either a white shirt or a black shirt and formal shoes. Do not attend the funeral service in casual wear like jeans and sneakers. 

Suits for the funeral 

The standard suit colors for the funeral are black, grey and navy blue. Make sure to not wear a 3 piece suit for a funeral. Opt for a somber color shirt like black and a tie.

Shirts and trousers
