Funeral Attire Help

If it's not immediate family I can go the non-black route, right? I have only on pair of black pants that fit me right now- so should I wear them to the funeral or to the wake? The other pants I was planning on wearing aredark khaki wide leg trouser pants.

 

Thanks!

I have noticed at the last wake I went to that people were steering clear from the black route. They were still wearing darker colors, but not a lot of black. I would probably wear the darker khakis to the wake and the black pants to the funeral.

 

I'm so sorry again.

I think the most important thing is that you're there to show your respect.   I'd *try* to stay with dark colors - maybe a black or navy sweater with the khaki if need be?   But if it were me, I'd wear the black to the funeral, and something black on top for the wake, if possible..

 Hope that helps?

Sorry for the loss..

Are these too light? I will wear a black wrap sweater with it.

Yup, those pants would be fine.

I actually can't imagine anyone noticing that you wore the same pants to the wake and funeral, especially if they're just basic black pants.  I would probably wear them to both with a different top.  The khaki's would be fine too, but I tend to only wear black bottoms to funerals.
