Respectful funeral outfits for any weather or type of service
Download Article
Deciding what to wear is the last thing you want weighing on your mind when you’re mourning the loss of a family member or friend. When it comes to men’s attire for funerals, a subdued, dark suit with a white dress shirt, tie, and dress shoes is the standard go-to, but the most important thing to consider are the wishes of the deceased or their family. In this article, we’ll cover exactly what to wear to look respectful, (including if you don’t own a suit or if the weather is extra hot or cold), plus share a quick list of things not to wear so you never have to second-guess yourself during this hard time.
Appropriate Funeral Attire for Men
- Wear a well-fitting black or dark-colored suit (navy, dark gray, dark brown, charcoal, etc.) with a white dress shirt.
- Pair your suit with a solid black or dark-colored tie and black or brown dress shoes, depending on the color of your suit.
- Choose simple, minimal accessories like a matching belt, watch, and cufflinks if you like (when in doubt, less is more).
