Funeral Wear?

I'll be attending my brother-in-law's wake and funeral this weekend. I have nothing to wear, and when I went shopping today I couldn't find anything appropriate. Everything I saw either had big bold prints or giant flowers on it or they didn't have any pieces in my size that all matched. I now have NO time to shop before we leave. Looking in my closet, I have black pieces that are a bit flashy or have patterns on them, or I have plain dressy casual clothes that are beige or tan. Would you go with plain and simple light colored clothes, or dark clothes that might be too flashy or have big prints? Do people even pay attention to wearing black at funerals anymore, particularly in the summer?
Funeral Wear?
Nothing to wear and you went shopping? Just remember the rule of thumb when it comes to funerals and fashions...all the eyes will be on the dearly departed, as long as the deceased looks good, it really doesn't matter what you look like. It's not a fashion show.
Reply:I have been to 3 funeral this year you will be fine in the plain dressy casual clothing. A friend of the family came to my grandfathers wake in a crisp button down shirt and a beige dress pants he looked just fine. Since its the springtime a lighter color is fine. As long as you look clean and well put together no one will mind you're not wearing black, navy or brown.
Reply:It's not necessary to wear dark colors, especially in summer. It would be better to wear beige clothes than flashy black ones. You don't want to wear anything to call attention to yourself. Simple is always in good taste.

I'm sorry about your loss.
Reply:just wear something modest and dark as possible as to not be noticed....no one really cares probably ya know. ( i don't mean that in a *****-ey tone) I just mean it's a funeral, ya know? it's not about the clothes.
Reply:Don't worry....wear "churchwear" The black clothing only is of the past. It was used for reverence in mourning; however, now we are more open and can easily express our condolensces in other respects-through kinds words, letters, food,etc...
Reply:Go for the beige or tan. I attended a funeral once where the widow dressed entirely in white. That is an option too. The main thing is not to look at all flashy.
