One might be too revealing/ dressy, but the other?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-memorial-service#post-933172 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:12:43 +0000 cinnamon fern 933172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OK. &nbsp;Grey pencil skirt, white blouse, nude heels, and a black blazer thanks to Rachylou - it's 90 outside but will be cold in the church. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-memorial-service#post-933098 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:51:37 +0000 rachylou 933098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, quiet but formal. Traditional neutral colours. You don't have to cover your head. I always wear a coat, because it's always cold in Catholic churches. But then I'm out west, and the churches are all old and gothic. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-memorial-service#post-933041 Wed, 15 May 2013 16:49:57 +0000 Glory 933041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you have an outfit you usually wear for funerals I would go with that. If not, a darker neutral such as charcoal, navy in pants, dress or skirt.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-memorial-service#post-933011 Wed, 15 May 2013 16:17:01 +0000 Carla 933011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually wear black or navy and a dress or skirt and top combo. If I have to leave from work, and return again, I might wear a plain top. I do have a black trench, and I'll choose more subdued accessories that day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-memorial-service#post-933009 Wed, 15 May 2013 16:14:40 +0000 cinnamon fern 933009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks! &nbsp;I will wear something I'd wear to a funeral. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-memorial-service#post-933002 Wed, 15 May 2013 15:59:14 +0000 Molly L-R 933002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Black would be traditional.&nbsp; However, if black really doesn't suit you, go for another dark neutral such as navy, charcoal and chocolate.&nbsp; Err on the side of more conservative.&nbsp; Better to be overdressed than underdressed in church.<br /><br />Specifics?&nbsp; Smart trousers, or a skirt that falls at least to the knee.&nbsp; Something that's moderately modest and looks as if you've made an effort. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-memorial-service#post-933001 Wed, 15 May 2013 15:59:14 +0000 unfrumped 933001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Look at WTW to funerals on the blog, and some recent posts on same.<br />What works for me&nbsp;is &nbsp;nice dress or dress pants (not dressY, but not jeans or chinos, for me)/&nbsp;top/topper&nbsp;in neutral colors or quiet colors or simple prints--doesn't have to be black --and conservative accessories. Not bleak but not party-ish. Where the clothes are fitting for you, nice&nbsp;but not the center of attention. Pull out some options from your closet &amp; see what you've got. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-memorial-service#post-932995 Wed, 15 May 2013 15:49:54 +0000 cinnamon fern 932995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm going to a memorial service Friday evening. &nbsp;It will be in a Catholic church. &nbsp;The deceased was the wife of a colleague - we were close acquaintances but not real friends. &nbsp;I have absolutely no idea what to wear to such an occasion, help!<br /><br />If this matters - her husband wears nice suits to work, in a profession where this is absolutely not the norm, but she was super casual and not really interested in clothes.
