    Just curious how others here would dress to attend a funeral.

    For me, it would be a black suit, white French cuff shirt, and a dark tie, along with black dress shoes.

    Black trousers and shirt usually. I've never been to one where the person has asked for anything else - it's always been the more traditional type.

    I've never been to a funeral, but I'm always wearing black, so..

    But I think funeral attire has to be formal, in that case I'd just wear a black suit + black tie and undershirt.

    And then I'd wear that same outfit for other events in the future haha

    Do you mean "morning clothes," "morning dress," or "mourning clothes?" :lol:. Morning dress might be a little too formal haha

    Black suit now--when I was younger and a little less traditional in my self-presentation I used to wear black shoes, black pants, black dress shirt and black tie when I went to funerals. I looked like I was all mobbed up...

    I don't really dress up for funerals. If you know me you know I wear jeans and usually something like a polo or a nice sweater every where I go. This will include your funeral. Yea, my shirt will probably be black, but I will be dressed pretty much the same way that you knew me in life.

    I would like to wear a modest black suit with black shoes or nice slacks and a nice shirt, but knowing my current situation I would probably have to wear a black dress.

    I don't own a suit. Usually a button down shirt is the nicest I can go.

    Something nice and conservative.. I have in the last just worn a nice dress or long skirt and top or long pants and a top. You don't need to go over the top, but I think it is respectful that you wear something a bit nicer then what you would wear everyday.. I wore my work clothes to a fellow colleagues funeral, mainly as I was at work and was able to get out of work to go and then had to go back and also as a sign of respect to her family to show she had lots of colleagues who loved and cared for her.

    I've only been to a few funerals (thankfully) and it's always been a black dress (except for one funeral where our friend wanted it to be a happy celebration of her life and wanted everyone to wear bright, cheerful clothing)

    I've only ever been to one funeral and my memories of it do not include what I wore. I have no idea.
