3 Accessories You Should Avoid Wearing at a Family Funeral

 

Funerals are sedate occasions where family and friends assemble to honor the life of a loved one who has passed away. They are not social events or fashion shows; they are passionately demonstrative moments where every gesture, word, and choice of clothing communicates respect—or, unfortunately, the lack of it.

While most people know that dark, modest clothing is appropriate, many overlook the vital role of accessories. What you select to wear, or not wear, can say a lot about the way you value the ceremony. To help you navigate this sensitive situation, here are three types of accessories you should avoid wearing at a family funeral.

1. Flashy or Statement Jewelry

A funeral is not the right time to display sparkling diamonds, oversized earrings, or stacks of bracelets that clank with every movement. Jewelry that pays attention to you can come across as distracting and even disrespectful. The purpose of attending a funeral is to shift the center onto the deceased and their grieving family, not on your personal style.

For example, a large gold necklace or bright gemstone rings can conflict with the solemn tone of the day. Instead, if you feel the need to wear jewelry, select subtle and minimal pieces such as small stud earrings or a simple chain necklace. Neutral accessories allow you to keep a respectful appearance without creating unnecessary attention.

2. Brightly Colored or Fashion-Forward Bags
