1. Dark-colored suit/Clothing: opt for a well-fitted, dark suit in black, charcoal gray, or navy blue. It is a classic and formal choice that demonstrates respect for the occasion. You can also choose to dress in casual but dark clothing. Black on black or navy blue on blue.
2. Shirt: Wear a crisp, long-sleeved, white, or light-colored dress shirt. Avoid loud patterns or bright colors that may distract from the solemn atmosphere. Black or navy blue long or short-sleeved shirts are also acceptable.
3. Conservative tie: Choose a simple, solid-colored tie in dark tones that complements your suit. Avoid flashy or novelty ties and stick to more subdued patterns if preferred. Ties are not mandatory but recommended.
4. Shoes: Wear clean/ polished, closed-toe dress shoes in black or dark brown. Avoid light colored sneakers, sandals, or any casual footwear that doesn’t convey the appropriate level of formality. Boots and dark casual shoes are acceptable.
5. Dark socks: Ensure your socks match your attire. Stick to dark shades that blend well with the overall outfit.
6. Minimal accessories: Keep accessories to a minimum. A simple wristwatch, discreet cufflinks, and a small, tasteful lapel pin or boutonniere can add a touch of elegance without drawing undue attention. The deceased’s Team ball caps and accessories are better suited for visitations and not funerals.
7. Grooming: Pay attention to your personal grooming. Ensure your hair is neatly styled, nails are trimmed, and facial hair is well-groomed. It’s important to present yourself in a clean and respectful manner.
Remember, the focus should be on showing respect and support for the grieving family, so avoid anything that might detract from the solemnity of the occasion or draw unnecessary attention to yourself. Overall, choose the most conservative or formal clothing available to you.
