The dress code is pretty standard when attending a funeral: Black. Black is the most appropriate choice for funeral attire. It is unobtrusive and signifies mourning. Men, you will want to wear a black suit with a white dress shirt, black tie, black socks and black shoes. When it comes to your tie, choose a properly fitted standard necktie over a bow tie. Even if you're a bow tie kind of guy, the bow tie can be a distraction to other mourners. Below are black ties suited for a funeral. A classic solid black tie is an appropriate choice. We don't recommend going too bold with a pattern, but you can add texture to your outfit with a black tone-on-tone striped tie or a black herringbone silk tie.
