Funeral attire should be respectful and understated. The focus is on honoring the person, not on your outfit. When in doubt, err on the side of formality and simplicity.
Dark, conservative, and modest. Some cultures and families specify a dress code or color. Check with the family if you're unsure.
Traditional and always appropriate for Western funerals.
A respectful alternative to black that's slightly softer.
Formal and somber without being as stark as black.
Subdued and appropriate for memorial services.
Acceptable for less formal memorial gatherings.
Traditional in some cultures. For Western funerals, only as a shirt under a dark suit.
A black or dark suit with a white or dark shirt and dark tie. Black leather shoes.
Dark trousers with a dark blazer and a subdued dress shirt. No tie required for most services.
A knee-length or longer dress in black, navy, or charcoal. Modest neckline. Dark flats or low heels.
Some families request color. In this case, a muted version of a color the deceased loved.
In summer, dark breathable fabrics (cotton, lightweight wool) are acceptable. You can skip the jacket if it's very hot. In winter, a dark overcoat is appropriate.
If the family requests 'wear bright colors' or 'celebration of life' attire, honor that. Otherwise, default to dark and simple.
