Black is so traditional. Most of the fashion concious crowd will tell you that black is not the color to wear to a funeral anymore. But it really depends on the person who died, what kind of family and friends will be attending, where the funeral will be held at, the weather and if it is in a "traditional" town that sticks to wearing black at funerals and white at weddings. First of all, it is a friend or family member, you can pretty much get away with a comfortable skirt or dress, even a decent pantsuit. It's springtime, you DO NOT have to wear dark colors. Where I'm from, we wear white a lot now to funerals or Rest In Peace t-shirts with the deceased's picture and/or name on it. However, if the deceased is a dignitary of some sort, then you would definitely want to wear nothing less than a skirt or pantsuit. If the service itself will be held indoors, then heels are great. Bring a pair of flats, however, if there will be a gravesite ritual or the entire service will be held at the gravesite. I have almost fallen myself in cemetaries with three inch heels on sinking down in the dirt and you never know how far away you may have to park and walk. Always bring an umbrella, it seems that its not a funeral if it doesn't rain at the gravesite. Please, whatever you do, NO RED, NO HOOCHIE CLOTHES AND NO JEANS. But as for the color scheme, if you want to wear pink, yellow, white or black, wear it. Dark colors, however, only dampen the already somber mood of a funeral so lighter colors kinds of lifts spirits in a subconcious way and turns a funeral into a celebration of life.

The traditional color to wear to a funeral is black. But navy blue or brown would do too. The idea is to wear a dark color to show your respect. It is a somber occasion, not a party or a fashion show. A dress or skirt would be traditional for women, but pants will do. Not jeans. As for your makeup, just tone it down. Simple works best here. And, if you think you are going to be crying, watch the mascara. You don't want to look like a racoon.

I do think that this question is a little crazy, but I'll suggest you wear something with neutral colors (black is normally the norm for funerals). Do not wear anything that is revealing or too short... the makeup should be light; some mascara (if you use it) and a light color lipstick (no red).

well i would prob. wear a black dress, or some black pants with some shirt to go with it(but i would say a dress would be better).
for your make up i would say something lite, but dont make yourself pale lol. dont put to much mascara, some lip gloss, or lipstick w/e which one u like the best. and some red cheeks.
this is not a carzy question thought, nobody wants to look stupid in a funeral. my friend went to a funeral once for the first time in her life and she actually wore a pink dress and she looked like shes going to some party or something.... yeah so its always better to ask....
good luck

any type of plain dark clothing, that is simple and not to flashy--dress pants and a nice blouse would be good, you don't have to wear a skirt or dress if you are uncomfortable doing so. go easy on the make-up, if you normally don't wear much, you'll be fine. i'd just wear foundation, powder, light blush, lip gloss, and maybe a little shimmer of light eyeshadow and some mascara. the main key is, you don't want to stick out. ;-)

I asked a question very similar to this recently and got very mixed answers. The close family usually wears black. If you are not in the close family then i would suggest maybe a black skirt and a navy shirt. Some other good colors are brown, grey, or a dark purple. You can mix these with a little pastels (so you don't look to dark and depressing). Makeupwise, i would suggest wearing light makeup (just enough to cover up blemishes or w/e, but not enough that people will be able to see what color make up you are wearing).
here are some clothing suggestions, you could wear something similar to this.

wear darker colors not just black but not all bright and festive looking and not too much makeup i guess you wont be crying you don't sound like you were very close to this person but if you think there is a chance you might start up then do not wear any makeup ...don't wear any thing that draws attention to your self it isn't respectful for the deceased to have every one talking about you they need to be focused on other things!!...good luck!!

A darker cloor would be best. try wearing a skirt and blouse or even pants if tasteful in style. funeral wear is meant to be toned down and a show of respect to the deceased,good luck to you!

you dont need to look fashionable on funeral. you have to look concern to the people who lost their loved ones. oh well for your make up, natural tone is needed, for your lipstick the color would be tan i guess so you won't look pale. while on the funeral, you may feel sedness but you have to realize that the soul of that person is happy because he is already in god's kingdom.

You shouldn't have to wear make-up to see a loved one at their last. and wear a black dress. My spacific one is located in the issue of seventeen issue with ashley tisdale, on the page that says black tie wedding.
