You can extend the usable life of those shoes by having the exaggerated chain detail removed. This will make them much less trend driven and look more like a classic loafer. Have it professionally done- the cobbler will make it look as though this was how they were all along.

First and foremost, I'm sorry for your loss. I think this is a great video and a topic that isn't talked about much. And I think it seems that when funerals come up, I always have to go on a mad dash to fill in holes in my wardrobe.

Sorry to hear about your loss! My closet is full with black cloths, so I don‘t have too much of a problem to find something suitable for a funeral.. I agree with the points you mentioned (I would only have one small point to add - and have already a video about it planned - but no idea when I‘ll film it😅): you have to be careful with the pieces you choose/wear, because they might get attached with the memory of the funeral (at least that‘s an experience I made).. and whenever you want to wear them again after that funeral, you might be reminded of it.. and depending on who and how a person passed away, this might be a very hurtful memory 😞

I’m sorry for your loss. I do wear in the past a lot of black. So I always had something to wear, if I must going to a funeral. I’m going towards more colors and light colors, especially in the summer, so I’m half black half rainbow in my closet. Some people are not prepared to have appropriate and dark clothes for funerals in the summer. I must go to two funerals in the summer heat in the past. I can recommend a light layer with 3/4 or long arms and a hat, both for sun protection. You are sad enough, you don’t need a heatstroke or sunburn. If it’s really hot, you are probably fine with open shoes, as long they are appropriate. It’s not funny to prepare a funeral look for every season, but your future self would thank you for that 🤔

Thank you so much for this. I am 67 so understand the requirements but when I retired, I gave all of my work clothes to the goodwill. Now I am attending a funeral every month or so it seems so I am having to replace my silk blouses, blazers and dress pants.

@@laurenromeo have you thought about doing a video on fit and fabric? How the length of a skirt or sleeves can make a big difference, how the addition of a hook or button can help, what kind of fabric is best for a pencil skirt, how shoulders on a blazer should fit, etc. Many young women have no idea that drycleaners do easy alterations like hemming and anything more complicated like shoulder adjustments which need to be done by a tailor or seamstress can really make a garment look great.

Why do people think you have to wear black at funerals. You don't have to. But you can wear colorful clothes. God said we would mourn the death. But you don't have to wear black. Black is depressing. You are already stressed . So wear a color that's not depressing for a funeral. The color depends on the season. Don't let society tell you , you should wear dark clothing for funerals.
