What Not to Wear: An Ultimate Guide For Dressing With Sophistication

Avoid: Exercise clothes, "going out" clothing such as crop tops, graphic t-shirts with messages.
Instead, try: Solid colors and sophisticated, streamlined cuts — anything from a sheath dress to a tailored pantsuit or skirt suit works! — and sweater sets if you're looking for comfort.

What Not to Wear to a Funeral

Avoid: Bright floral prints or overly vibrant patterns, jeans, athletic clothing or gym wear.
Instead, try: A darker-colored dress (since a funeral is a somber event), suits, button-down shirts, or tailored pants. In many cultures, it is appropriate to wear black unless otherwise notified, but you don't have to wear black if you don't want to. Conservative silhouettes are definitely the most acceptable.
