What color should my dress shirt be under my black suit ?

Question

I am attending a funeral. Is pinstriped black suit okey ? Should I wear a tie? What color?

Answer 1

You can go traditional by wearing a collared white shirt, and that would probably look the nicest. If you're looking for something else, try matching the shirt to the color of the pin stripe. A solid color black tie would match as well. Depending on the nature and mood of the funeral, you really have to decide what you feel is best.

Answer 2

Your suit is fine. Depending on what type of funeral you are attending, you might find that some will not even have a suit on. I I think white would be the best choice, so you can choose the proper color for your tie. You can wear a tie and a dark blue or dark red would be very nice. No patterns, though, because you have pinstripe suit.
I am very impressed with your taste. Good for you.

Answer 3

Defintly not white white shirts are out but if your trying to go for a funeral look then black but I would do a soft color I love color under a suit with a nice tie but since it is a funeral do not go to bright you dont want to stick out

Go to a department store and let them give you ideas, you dont have to buy it there because more then likely it will be expensive just let them help you with color choices then go to a store like Marshalls where they will have the same stuff cheaper and still have a variety that way you save money

Answer 4

Didn't you just ask the same question about the suit? They are several replies already. Yes, always wear a tie with a suit for a 'formal' occasion but, because it will be a funeral, tone down the tie to a darkish colour, if possible. Perhaps a white shirt and a dark blue tie, or a burgundy one, or a dark green one...... you get the idea. Actually, the shirt doesn't have to be white, just match it with the tie and try to look conservative.

Answer 5

The suit is OK, White or pale blue shirt. You don't have to wear a tie unless you are a close relative or friend but as it's a suit it probably would be better; make it a black, Navy blue or dark grey one. It's ok to have a pattern on it so long as it's tasteful. Black shoes and socks to match the tie.

Answer 6

Yes, a black pinstripe suit is fine. You should wear a white dress shirt and yes, definitely a tie. The tie can be any color, so long as it isn't flashy & fun.... Keep it conservative.

Make sure you wear nice dress shoes, nothing worse than old or dirty, scuffed up shoes on a man.

Answer 7

Any color will be fine under a black suit. You dant want to draw attention so no bright colors our patterns. A grey,or blue, shirt,dark tie. Pinstripes are fine too.

Answer 8

If you're going to a funeral then maybe your dress shirt should be white or black. Since those 2 colors are the color that's appropriate for this occassion. For the tie, maybe the opposite color of what your dress shirt is. Don't wear any bright color items.. .

Answer 9

If you have green eyes, buy a green , light shirt and a black tie with naybe a small design in it or if your eyes are blue do a blue shirt, nedium blue with a Tie that is either blue with black or blad=ck with blue or plain black. Also, maroon and DRk. Purple shirts are very in and can be worn with other suits also. You'll look good with any color really.Black shoes and socks.

Answer 10

Be respectful but still be as simple as possible.stick to the basics and wear a white shirt under your suit. nobody will really see what you are wearingand no need to look too elegant so i say there is no need for a tie.
