Do you love sequins, glitter, or satin? Save them for a wedding or a New Year’s Eve party. At a funeral, the shimmering reflections of these garments immediately draw attention and can be inappropriate.

A gold blouse, a silver dress, or even a sequined handbag creates a festive atmosphere, even if the occasion calls for modesty and simplicity. Accessories should follow the same logic: opt for delicate and understated jewelry instead of flashy or glittery pieces.

What colors and garments should I choose?

Good news: you don’t have to wear black if you don’t have a dress. While it remains the safest and most traditional option, there are other alternatives that work perfectly.

For women: a simple dress, a discreet skirt, or a suit in dark tones (navy, charcoal gray, dark brown). The cuts should be elegant but discreet, without plunging necklines or overly revealing details.

For men: a dark suit with a light shirt and a classic tie. Footwear should be understated, without bright colors or extravagant patterns.

For everyone: minimalist accessories. A small, discreet scarf, a simple handbag, and delicate jewelry are more than enough.

The idea is to leave all the space for the memory of the deceased, not for their clothing.

Subtlety in dress, a silent gesture of support.
