At all the places you already mentioned?
That would be very odd.

That would be very odd.
Not really, seen many people wear black suits in all types of environments.
Can someone please help me in deciding what to wear,
ok, so the worst day of my life next week. Mum passed away just before Christmas. Can someone please help me in deciding what to wear, I am jeans and t-shirt kind of guy with smart shoes/chukka boots etc, never worn a suit.
My Mum was the same type of women, never overdressed and didn't like that type of clothing, or should I say, it didn't bother her how people dressed. She'd be saying as long as your comfortable that's all that matters.
I know it must sound stupid but is it still odd to wear anything else but a suit?
Wear what you like ? Really ?
It's called making an effort and showing old fashioned respect.
I aint got a suit either, dark jacket or coat, black jeans, and decent shoes. [ no trainers ].
I have always worn suits to funerals, but they've been appropriate every time except for the one above, but I didn't know it was a band t-shirt event.
We have spoken and agreed Mum would like us to just be comfortable.
So I am thinking dark crew neck jumper, shirt, black trousers/chinos, and my very dark brown chukka boots.
Seen this image below on this page, and made me feel a little better.

The last funeral I went to was smart, not formal, no ties allowed and bright colours encouraged.
It fitted with the personality of the man we went to see off. And we had a bloody good party afterwards.
thanks for all comments so far. On speaking to my sister, my Dad who is Mums ex-husband and they got on well after the break up many years ago, it seems we are not having a dress code. We have spoken and agreed Mum would like us to just be comfortable.
