I’m a sophomore in high school and recently my classmate passed. it is really tragic and sad. her funeral is next week so what should i wear? she was 16, so i probably don’t plan on wearing all black. Can i wear high heals? im a girl by the way. maybe like a pastel top with a cardigan and a skirt? please give your ideas. thank you

While I agree with the first answer–black is always appropriate, it is no longer considered a must wear color
Anything that you would wear to church is usually appropriate to wear to a funeral. A nice dress, suit, dress pants and top with or without a jacket..
Remember its not what you wore, it is that you were there to share their grief and honor their loved one.
R.I.P. to ur classmate .
I would Wear a black pencil skirt with black heels, if you want color you can probably wear her fav color if not I would wear a very dark suddle color tank with a cute little black cardigan over it.
When I say heels I mean like no higher than 3 inches!
Again it is a funeral and all black is fine.
Also they are right it is not a fashion show, thats just what I would wear.
Honestly it depends on the type of funeral. By that I mean person wise. I am 18 years old and I’ve been to very formal funerals where you wear all black. I’ve been to casual funerals where the person who died loved Hawaii so everyone wore flowers and Hawaiian shirts. Yes, you can wear heels just make sure you’re conservative clothing wise. My one friend died when I was 12 and she loved purple so everyone wore purple to her funeral. Currently, I have to attend a second grader’s funeral and he loved orange. So basically to sum it up, remember the person and what they loved most and how they dressed and then dress to honor them that day. Sorry for your loss.
Normally the black isn’t to pay respects to just the person who died but to the family who is suffering and by going in high heels and a cardigan I wouldn’t say any problems would arise but if you want to play it safe I would say where black but its totally up to you.
Hope I helped
It would be respectful to wear black. Wear a black top, a black cardigan, a black skirt, and black heels (2″-3″). Accessorize with stud earrings and a pearl necklace.

Make sure it’s respectable and mature, try a white blouse (or any colour – not to flashy) with a pencil skirt, some fairly opaque tights and black shoes. Don’t go all black, add some colour to break it up.
Deffinately remember waterproof mascara though – you’ll need it.
Sorry for your loss.
It may be seen as disrespectful to wear a pastel top. Try wearing a black top instead ( you could wear one with a toned down print or embellishment on it. Best not to go with heels as it may be uncomfortable to stand for long periods in them, try flats instead
Just one thing dont wear anything to bright.
High heels would be okay and maybe a darker shade of shirt like navy blue or purple something like that, and a black or even a gray skirt would be great.
Hear Black pants or shirt and a nice top, high heals go for it. Just try not to over do it. It will be fine. just wear something comfortable.
Black, doesn’t matter the age. And I wouldn’t recommend heels, you will probably be there for a while. They will hurt after a while.
its normal to wear black at funerals ask the person hosting it ask if they would prefer you to wear black or colors
it’s a funeral, not a fashion show. just wear something reserved and respectful
