Dressing appropriately for the event is always significant, but for a few events it’s paramount. One such occasion, where grooming must be approached with consideration and care, is a funeral and wake. At funerals, it’s vital to show respect, and part of doing so is dressing in appropriate attire. The sombre occasion ought to be represented by means of your clothes with subdued tones, classic fashions and royal design. Funerals are a time to blend with the audience and fade to the background as everybody honours the deceased and pays respect to the deceased’s loved ones. Display sensitivity to the occasion by dressing easy, complicated, sharp and dimmed. Remember, it’s equally as improper to seem sloppy as it is to look over the top and showy.
