What can I wear to funeral?

There is really no dress code for funerals. The all black thing is a courtesy, not a dress code.If you have a I'd or gray skirt or dress that's not too short that's best. If you don't then the black jeans are ok. I know fashion is important to teens but that day is not about you and as long as you look respectable, you will be fine.

There is really no dress code for funerals. The all black thing is a courtesy, not a dress code. Most funeral homes advise people to dress nice rather than worry about being in all black. I've been to far too many lately and I have seen everything from a widow in a tan and pink pant suit to a teen girl in a body con sequined dress saying it was the only black thing she owned and she didn't want to seem disrespectful to her secret crush's father who died. She would have been better off is anything BUT a black clubbing dress. I had an aunt request that everyone wear bright colors and anyone who showed up in all black had to wear a red clown nose.

Black jeans are okay and if the plaid shirt is the only thing you have then wear it. You are 14 so whatever you wear will be appropriate for your age. What's important and more appreciated by the family is that you are THERE, not what you wear.

I mean, funerals have no dress code. I think plaid and jeans is maybe a bit too casual for a funeral, but that's just my opinion. I'm a 14-year old girl too, and i hate dresses. To my grandpas funeral last year I wore a black suit, and to another funeral I wore black pants and a black, thin button-up. It's really up to you, or maybe you could ask your parent(s)?

No. I would get a nice black dress or a black skirt and shirt and wear black dress shoes. It would be a lot more respectful to the deceased. Ask your parents what they'll be wearing, and try to use that as a guide for how formal you want to dress. When I was almost 6 my grandma died, and my dad, uncle, and cousins all wore black suits, and I think all the women wore dresses. I remember wearing a black velvet skirt suit and patent leathers.

Honestly dude, wear whatever the hell you want. Not like they'll kick you out for wearing blue jeans and a rainbow t shirt or something

i think the black jeans are fine but like dress it up a little bit by wearing nice shoes instead of sneakers orrrrr wear a nice white/ black blouse with a cardigan/ sweater

Your choice of clothes sounds fine, perhaps you could wear a dark jacket or cardigan as well.

Neon colors dress. NOT kidding I wear neon dress at funeral and everyone was looking at just me. and yeh I don't think wearing Neon colors will disrespect anyone or that person who died

If there was no dress code specified like "wear white" try to wear black or dark colors but if you dont have that wear whatever you feel is respectful, the important thing is to be there for the people who are grieving and to say goodbye, people wont judge you unless you wear a pink top that looks intentional, When that happens to my mom and shes wearing something bright she borrows the top of whoever has the darkest color on, or borrow a black top from a friend and explain, Ive lent black clothes to people all the time for funerals that caught them by sruprise at school and they couldnt go change to their houses, people usually dont say no to this,sorry for your loss and remember funerals are for the living, be there for the people who are hurting

Black is usually what people wear because its a sad and mourning color. (I wear all black everyday and I'm a very happy person so don't let that fool you) and people usually dress "nicer" (not fancy) just out of respect :)

A funeral is about showing respect to the person who passed. You can show this respect by what you wear. I tend to think Jeans and a plaid shirt may be too casual for this kind of event depending on the style and cut. Think Sunday bests. If you pair the jean with nice flats or heal instead of trainer and if the plaid shirt is a nice well fitted one, ironed and neat not oversized or frumpy looking it may be ok. You can tone down the plaid with a cardigan or a sweater. The respect comes with the effort you put into your outfit not so much with what you wear. As long as what you look like shows that you are clean and well put together and did not just roll out of bed and put up the first thing off the floor, you will be fine. I am very sorry for you loss.

The jeans are fine, but I wouldn't wear a plaid shirt to a funeral.

Straight up wear nothing. You'll look professional. But do not fret about your style in a funeral when you can literally make people think you're criminally insane, as I suggest murdering at least 5 kids and 9 adults. More funerals=more the fun!

i wouldn't either of the articles of clothing to a funeral personally... funerals are to mourn and respect a loved one, and those articles of clothing aren't very respectful... talk to your parents and see what they think...

black for immediate family (parents, siblings, spouse, adult children), navy for close family and friends... charcoal and grey for work friends and associates...

i don't think jeans are appropriate... you might want to get a dress, knee length, in a neutral color... i know fashion is important to teens but that day is not about you and as long as you look respectable, you shall be fine...
btw, 10 and younger can wear pastels...

the last couple of funerals i went, the people was wearing the same thing they wore everyday...

Dressing casual is just fine.........Going for the first time can be an experience. Give respect and kind words to the family and just know that person has gone on to be with God..........and they will have no more suffering.
You will be just fine.........blessings

black is traditional, not required... just don't wear anything flashy or trashy... it's a solemn occasion... be conservative... if you have a i'd or gray skirt or dress that's not too short that's proper... if you don't then the black jeans are ok...

I once wore a grim reaper costume no one really took any notice

Typically the dress code for funeral is more professional as it is usually in a church based setting. Jeans will not be suited. Also black, white and gray are appropriate colors. Do you have a skirt or professional pants that can go with your plain shirt

black

black is usually what people wear 'cause its a sad and mourning color... (i wear all black everyday and i'm a very happy person so don't let that fool you) and people usually dress "nicer" (not fancy) just out of respect :)

Dark colors are recommended

borrow a black dress.

I don't know why people think they need to wear gloomy clothes like all black you wear what you want the fact that your there showing your respects for the person who passed should be the most important thing in the first place....not what people wear.

Most of the time, black anything is considered appropriate. But dont be afraid to hit up some thrift shops to find something unique and maybe more formal if you want! 😊

Wear a black dress lol

A skirt and blouse or dress in the color or tones of black, greys, navy.

It really does depend on the specific funeral. I have heard of a funeral where people wore football shirts to commemorate the diseases persons favourite football team, or their favourite colour. Normally the general theme is dark colours. If you do not have anything that is black then dark grey is also acceptable. I would be very surprised if someone was upset by this.. Unless it was black themed and you turned up in bright yellow or something.

As long as it's appropriate then it's OK. Traditionally black is the main choice e.g black dress.

Black and dapper for men. But no dress code really. Black and coveted, good shoes. Otherwise, depends on the faith of, and the person and what they wanted and life they lead.

the last couple of funerals i went, the people was wearing the same thing they wore everyday...

try white

Something black that represent mourning. Something modest and reserved. A black dress and black legging under. Or black blouse and black slacks.

I wouldn't either of the articles of clothing to a funeral personally. Funerals are to mourn and respect a loved one, and those articles of clothing aren't very respectful. Talk to your parents and see what they think.

What you've got is fine. But personally, I'd wear a black dress and black courts

Hopefully clothing.

Black is traditional, not required. Just don't wear anything flashy or trashy. It's a solemn occasion. Be conservative. If you have a I'd or gray skirt or dress that's not too short that's best. If you don't then the black jeans are ok.

No bright colors for sure. If jeans are all you have, then that's it. However one of these days you should go to some sort of discount store or bazar or whatever and pick up SOME clothes.

Yes that sounds appropriate

you'll be fine too wear that

PLAID SHIRT & BLACK JEANS = perfect! If that was all you've got.

I've seen worst, @ funerals.

Black long dress, and a scarf, or jacket.

A dress if not a nice shirt with skinny jeans and Sandals, no bright clothing

If you are not into wearing dress.. .I would wear black and white pants suit. White shirt and black slacks (not jeans please) and no plaid shirts..

You wanna look somber and modest.. you will stand out if you don't. .

No to the black jeans.

The shirt sounds OK, but wear a long dark colored or black skirt or black dress slacks.

If that's all the clothes you have, you'll have to wear them, right?

Black for immediate family (parents, siblings, spouse, adult children), Navy for close family and friends. Charcoal and grey for work friends and associates.

I don't think jeans are appropriate. You might want to get a dress, knee length, in a neutral color. I know fashion is important to teens but that day is not about you and as long as you look respectable, you will be fine.
