I need quick advice for an emergency funeral for a close family member.
Quick, as in...im leaving in the morning.
I will have to wear my black suit on the plane, basically because I dont want it to get destroyed, and can't risk the luggage getting screwed around with because of the TSA.
1.Should I wear a different shirt and with or without tie at this travel time? I dont really need it to be obvious that im going to a funeral while im at the airport bar.
2. At the event.....Black shirt? White shirt? I have time to buy a solid black tie on the way to the airport. If I bother to wear my white FC shirt, it will just be with black silk knots.
3. Monk Strap plain toes or AE balmoral wingtips? This are my only black shoes im willing to be seen in.
There is a separate memorial service the following day, what do i wear to this? I think there is one event at the funeral home "a visitation" and the following day a memorial at the church... would a dark grey pant and black shirt be appropriate for the visitation? Ill probably be able to bring doubles for shirts and just play it by ear.
I'm just not thinking very clearly at the moment, and the bulk of my wardrobe isn't exactly somber.
any help, thanks, im going to try to sleep for a few hours.
