ricks asked: Why dont people still know how to dress for certain occasions? Is it is proper to wear casual/play clothes to a wedding or funeral?
Weddings: some wear shorts, t-shirts, tennis shoes, or flip flops? This is rude to a formal event! Please dont say “you should be comfortable”. You can be comfy & not tacky at the same time. If you are an adult & dont own a suit shoes, then you should not be socializing!
Should ladies wear an entirely black outfit? Isnt that the mourning color? & should they try to out-dress the bride? Or look cheap, like they are going to a club or BET video shoot?
Funerals:
Same issue w/ casual. Sometimes it seems the opposite with this & weddings, people tend to try to be flashy. Bright clothes, fancy hats etc.
Am I the only one who sees this? How do you feel about these occasions not being respected eitquite wise by dress code? & those who do it, dont u think it rude or insulting? Do you think about this at all? Ever been told off b/c of it?
for those talking about the “theme” or the persons pesonality & location: all those are valid & I would have to agree. But I am speaking in general terms. Your standard or average wedding. If there is a beach theme, then by all means, wear a wet suit if that is what is called for! But other wise, you are best to show up dressed for the occasion.
Coming in from work & doing a pop in, is fine & understandable. But not if you come with your paper hat on. I realize that there are many variations & little quirks. But what is the reason for coming to a Saturday wedding in jam shorts & flip flops? You could have put on khakis, loafers & an oxford. I am not saying to dress up for the red carpet! Just be appropriate. Dont have them guess if you are there for the wedding or volleyball turnament.
To everything there is a proper way to do it.
