We got a question from Ben, whose grandmother recently passed, and he’s asking The Guys what’s the right, respectful outfit to wear. Now, Ben owns a tuxedo, and asked us if that’d be ok. The Guys had some other ideas.
Mark Ronson, at Amy Winehouse's funeral, shows the right way to be sad
The Guys: Hey, Ben, first, our condolences, brother. We’ve both lost our grandmothers and it’s always tough. Regarding what to wear, definitely don’t opt for the tuxedo. That’d be like wearing a 3-piece suit to a Raiders game. However, do you have any form of suit of any kind? If yes, go for a darker one (grey or navy or pinstripe, if you have one). If no, do you have a navy blazer? Khakis? Wear that, that’d be acceptable. Fact is, funerals are somber and you don’t want to show up like you’re ready for a New Year’s Eve. Just keep it conservative and low key and you’ll be fine. Dark shoes, dark tie, white or blue shirt – it’s not the time to stand out. And bring a hankie; not for you, but for some girl who may need it.
Wow this one is stupid, my POV.
Your grandma just died . We’re something appropriate , the attention is on Grandma.
