3 types of shirts you should never wear
1. Brightly Colored or Flashy Shirts
Funerals are not the place for fashion statements.
Shirts in bold colors like red, neon green, or yellow, or those with sequins and shiny fabrics, can feel out of place.
Dark, muted tones—such as black, navy, or charcoal—are more suitable.
2. Casual T-Shirts or Tank Tops
Casual wear may work in daily life, but at a funeral, it can feel too relaxed.
Shirts with logos, slogans, or sleeveless cuts don’t fit the tone.
A collared shirt, blouse, or button-down is a far more respectful choice, even if the family suggests casual attire.
3. Bold Prints or Graphic Designs
Hawaiian shirts, animal prints, or graphic tees may be fine for social outings but clash with the somber atmosphere of a funeral.
When in doubt, choose simplicity—solid, muted tones are best.
