A funeral asks for quiet formality. Dark, plain, well-pressed clothes show respect, and nothing you wear should draw attention to you. Mild weather is forgiving: a light layer that comes on and off is usually all you need. Read the room before you read your wardrobe: the same day can want a sharper or a softer answer depending on who you are seeing, and the middle is usually the safer place to land.
- Choose matte fabrics and keep jewellery minimal.
- Carry a layer for the evening drop.
- Pick the palette before the pieces. Two neutrals and one accent rarely fails.
