I agree, mourners should wear a simple dark suit, somber tie, dark shined shoes. You’re there to pay respect to the surviving family and to the memory of the departed. Wear nothing purposefully that would call attention to yourself, since it’s not about you.

If we were a silly hat that made us look like we would should be in a 1940s movie, we would be attracting attention to ourselves, taking away from people thinking about the deceased's family

My opinion: Mental health and life satisfaction are key to self-development. If we don't like who we are, we aren't inclined to improve ourselves. I've been on both sides of this: As a teenager, I suffered from clinical depression and anxiety; now, as a twenty-three-year-old, I'm very happy and content. When one doesn't like oneself, one isn't inclined to make oneself better. I used to strongly dislike myself, but eventually, I became someone I liked-through turning myself into someone whom I admire. For any chaps struggling with self-worth, I highly recommend therapy.

Depends on what the deceased may have requested though. I certainly wouldn't want to see any black clothing at my funeral. I don't want anyone to be sombre or sad. Just to celebrate a life and remember the good times.

I live opposite to a church that regularly conducts funerals. I see more and more mourners attend in big white ugly ‘tennis shoes’, shorts and vests. Smoking, laughing and talking loudly before they go in. I have yet to see anyone wearing pyjamas however I am expecting to see it sometime soon.

Disagree on boutonnieres BUT ONLY IF you were very close to the person and chose a flower with a meaning, e.g. a flower the person liked a lot or a forget-me-not or for military funerals a poppy.

I must respectfully disagree on the no pocket squares or boutonnieres bit. A white silk or linen pocket square is perfectly suited to a funeral, especially in a TV fold. A white boutonniere is fine so long as it's subtle, and I would argue black cufflinks are acceptable, as well. I have a pair of black and gold cufflinks with a feather motif; I'd wear it to a funeral in a heartbeat.

Hello ash. I have a glen check necktie with gray and navy colors and light blue accents. That is my most conservative tie, would that be alright? Also fast fact in Vietnamese culture we would wear a white headband instead of a black armband in a state of mourning.

Maybe you can pull off a bowler hat in England, but in the USA we would be guilty of drawing too much attention to herself at a funeral, it is not about how we look, it's about honoring the deceased, drawing attention to what occurred in their life, not ours

I wouldn't wear a watch man, if you absolutely must be somewhere else before the funeral's ended, then put your phone to vibrate quietly in your pocket and say your goodbyes when you feel the vibration, but really that's only if you absolutely cannot reschedule your appointment and it's a very important one

But joking aside : My personal rule for funerals: Always wear a suit that is simple and does not look like you are showing off , it is about showing respects for both the deceased and their immediate family . Even if I own some nice suits I always dress in a budget that is respectful to other mourners and just throw on a black overcoat and black gloves if cold . The most un respectful thing one can do at a funeral is turn it into a fashion statement
