Doesn't need to be black, but with the black suit, the color of the shell doesn't need to be black also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funeral-attire-question#post-1827007 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 01:28:23 +0000 Gail 1827007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you have to wear a black top, the rest of your outfit is muted enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funeral-attire-question#post-1826997 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 01:11:57 +0000 Echo 1826997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My condolences; no family should ever have to bury a child. A coloured t with the dark suit and footwear is fine; you do not need to go entirely black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funeral-attire-question#post-1826995 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 01:07:45 +0000 unfrumped 1826995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree. Black suit and footwear is sober enough. A simple colored top is fine. This, according to usual services I've been to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funeral-attire-question#post-1826994 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 01:07:09 +0000 Joyce B 1826994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would suggest a neutral color for the blouse, I would avoid a berry color.<br /> Poor family, I wish them strength. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funeral-attire-question#post-1826991 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 01:00:29 +0000 Eliza 1826991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry for these sad circumstances. I don't think your silk tee has to be black. The colors you describe seem fine to me. I have been to several funerals recently and saw very few people in black from head to toe. Much sympathy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funeral-attire-question#post-1826984 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 00:54:54 +0000 Thistle 1826984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am attending a funeral tomorrow for a co-worker's daughter. She was 30.&nbsp;</p> <p>He's the director of purchasing, and we've worked together for 14 years. I have to go. I don't want to go.</p> <p>I'm wearing a traditional black suit from Sejour and black booties.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm thinking I'd wear an EF silk tee underneath. Does this have to be black, too? Could I get away with a berry or purple/blue?</p> <p>I have a black one, if need be, and I want to be respectful.</p> <p>I never met her, but even now I'm tearing up for my co-worker. No father should have to bury his daughter. </p>
