It is slightly insensitive but you could wear a jacket over it if you don't have anything else.

hello guy, sorry approximately your mum. there's no longer something incorrect with a dismal brown wholesome, basically a shirt tie and slacks might do. the entire donning black at funerals factor is only an previous antiquated thought. no one somewhat cares approximately that stuff these days. i've got been to a great number of funerals and considered many human beings placed on shiny colors. A brown wholesome is high-quality. stable success next friday.

No, if you are not a person who normally wears stiff attire no reason to purchase it for this or any occasion. You are there to support your friend and your presence is more important that your attire. If anyone makes note of disregard them as rude. It is not a place to judge others but to support those who are grieving. Be sure to bring or send some fruit to the family - it will be much appreciated. You are a good friend to be concerned about your attire-but don't worry -just be there for your friend.

If this is what you are commonly seen in then I'd say okay. If you are thinking of wearing it because it has black in it I think you are better off wearing a solid color and not something with too many flowers.

Yes it would be in bad taste. Since you are a simple person then just wearing a plain black button down shirt with a tie is enough.

If that is your usual mode of dress and your shirt is neat, cleaned and pressed, it should be fine. I have gone to viewings where people pay their respects after work and are wearing uniforms, work clothes, suits, and they are all appreciated for taking the time to show the family they care.

I think it's ok to wear a casual shirt, but not one with flowers all over it. You'd be better off to wear a lighter color shirt that's plain.
Just my opinion.

You are there to pay your respects to the family, not to be judged on what you wear. I feel as long as what you are wearing is tasteful and clean then it should be OK.
When my husband's grandfather passed away his widow wore a powder blue suit and my mother-in-law wore a pale pink suit...these were his favorite colors on them.

By trying to be respectful it is enough to pay your respects. What you describe sounds fine to me if it's something you would normally wear because you are paying your respects as yourself.
