A celebration of life is a unique event that celebrates the life and legacy of a deceased loved one. It brings together family and friends to share fond memories and show support. As such, you want to choose to wear something that is respectful yet comfortable, and suitable for the occasion.

Informal outfit

If the event has more of an informal atmosphere, you can opt for something that is casual but still stylish. A good idea is to go for tailored items with a layered look. A smart dress or skirt with a cardigan, or nice trousers with a shirt can be good choices. Add some low-key jewellery and a pair of comfortable loafers or flats.

Semi-formal outfit

If the event is more of a semi-formal one, it would be appropriate to select something a little dressier. Consider a well-cut blouse and trousers or a shirt and skirt with tailored jacket. You could also wear matching separates, such as a top and skirt, or dress slacks and a blazer. Add a pair of smart shoes and more eye-catching jewellery.

Other Suggestions

• • Opt for a plain or muted colour palette, such as beige, black, navy and grey.

• • Choose fabrics like cotton, linen, or silk, which are comfortable and stylish.

• • Accessorise with a meaningful item, such as a favourite scarf or piece of jewellery.

• • Look presentable, but above all be comfortable in what you choose.

A celebration of life is a meaningful and heartfelt event. Wear something that reflects their personality and shows respect to them and those grieving.
