How can I make this outfit less... funeral-esque?

[inviscid]

So, I wear this pretty casually:

Black suit with satin lapels
White button down
Black Skinny Tie
Black chucks

However, someone told me it looks like I'm going to a funeral

Any suggestions to make it less funeral-esque while keeping the look I'm obviously going for? I was thinking of adding a pinstripe button down, but I'm unsure of how that'll look. Thanks

You could try adding some color I guess.

Just wait until another one of the Ramones dies.

It's just that the satin lapels keep it from looking right

I'm not really sure but here's a few ideas.

1. Wear a pocket square, maybe a colored one.

2. Ditch the tie and wear the shirt open. I think this would look better considering you're wearing converse.

3. Dye/style your hair really crazy.

Listen to Ducati.

The satin lapels are what keep it looking funeral-esque. Oh... and the... Converse sneakers......

Or a skinny tie for that matter.
