It is important to show that your outfit has been chosen with care. Usually, people wear neat, inconspicuous clothes in dark colours at a funeral. A suit with a shirt underneath is always a good choice.

Dark suit:

A dark suit is usually the most appropriate choice for a funeral. Black, dark blue or dark grey are appropriate colours. Make sure the suit fits well and is well cared for.

Shirt:

Wear a white, light blue or black shirt. Choose a formal plain shirt with no patterns or bright colours.

Tie:

A discreet tie in a dark colour goes well with the suit and shirt. Avoid bright colours or striking patterns.

Shoes:

Wear neat polished dark shoes that go well with the suit.

Socks:

Wear dark socks that match your trousers. Avoid bright or eye-catching socks.

Accessories:

Keep the use of accessories to a minimum. A watch and possibly a cufflink can be worn.

General maintenance:

Make sure your clothes are clean and ironed, and that you look groomed.
