Yes, I can’t wear black,I look like the deceased in it, so I have a navy silk dress or dark green woollen depending on the weather.

I think black and white is fine though.

That’s absolutely fine EB
Men wear white shirts with their suits, after all.
I would take a cardi or jacket too.
I usually wear navy, as I don’t have much black.

Black jacket and trousers and a colourful top looks nice especially if you are taking your jacket off if there is a purvy after the sevice

I’d wear a black jacket too, only because I’m always cold when I’m in church, but I think your choice is good.

White top and black trousers, most acceptable and dignified.

Personally a LBD, light coloured tights and a black Cardigan.

Unless I’m told not too, I wear a ‘little black dress’.

I am going to a funeral next week. At Most funerals I have been to in recent years the family have requested bright clothes to be worn. This funeral is formal.
I am wondering if it would be acceptable to wear a white top with black trousers or is all black expected still? The service is high church CofE and being conducted by a Bishop. Please advise me.
