Shift gears for a second. You know how it’s the unspoken rule that if you are single and attending a wedding, you might meet Mr. or Mrs. Right and so you make sure you are looking fly and dressed to impress everyone and trying not to out shine the bride? Well it appears that funerals the dress codes are shifting towards that same unspoken rule.
The last funeral I attended was that of my grandfather who passed away in his old age as rightfully so according to the process of life. His funeral was mainly attended by family and friends of the family who knew of him through our stories so the attire was “respectful” I’ll say. Now what I’ve noticed and seen on social media, is that when someone from a younger generation passes away typically (no matter the reason), it looks like people are headed to a day party or club.
Some of the women have on let’s say for example, black spandex, above the knee skirts, black laced stockings, six inch heels (the kind that strippers wear) and excessive or costume jewelry. Why? Men have on Gucci this and that with sunglasses for the look of being cool and not because their sad and crying. You can find these same said men posted up in the back of the funeral, looking to see who they can hook up with after the funeral. I’ve never seen so much booty and cleavage handing out of garments until now days at funerals.
