Is it worth buying a suit (possibly for a funeral), or just rent one in a bigger city
That’s true but this time I’d like to be somewhat prepared.
My mom died in her 50s without warning.
My grandparents are in their 90s and suffered strokes already, and have dementia.

Briefly he was known as the VR chat guy but I just couldn’t keep explaining what a furry is to business people.
Edit: He was a pretty nice, and friendly person though.

He also never got a smart phone despite working in IT in 2024. I’m not talking about his company phone, he still has a flip phone in private.

Oh no, we had a suit guy. He kinda wore good looking and classy stuff but managed to make everything look ridiculous, e.g., by wearing a suit almost correctly but instead of the shirt & tie he wore a t-shirt with a printed on tie.

So I probably wear a dark gray (or black) chino, and a dark gray (or black) shirt with blackish shoes for the funeral?

Furthermore, I get hot really easily so I don’t want to wear more than (t-)shirts and jeans (or shorts in Sommer).

I never really had a reason to wear one since ages. The last time was probably my confirmation suit as teenager: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation (it’s obviously too small now, and I quit the whole Christianity thing.
In IT wearing a suit makes no sense before you’re in a high management role.

I think it would feel weird to have a nice looking suit but no opportunity to wear it unless someone dies.

Thinking about it, that’s probably what I should keep doing, last time it was as I mentioned only 10% wearing suits so I should probably be fine.

Well, I thought a black suit is the best wardrobe to pay your respects at a funeral, well for clothes that is.
But buying one that actually looks good is probably going to take quite a bit of time and money, and it would end up being my only suite.
So renting seemed like a good middle way.

I’m wondering if anyone who has recently been to a funeral can still chime in today.

That’s probably true, it’s a rather rural area.

Are they that bad? I never rented one so I hoped they at least look okay.

One the one hand I would stand out as I said only like 10% for my moms funeral wore a suit.
Although my grandpa was much more popular so those numbers might change, and I could stand out by not wearing one.

Yeah, I remember mass shootings where they wore a suit but beside that it’s only US TV shows or US courts.

I’m from the EU so I’m not actually sure if people in EU courts wear a suit or if it it’s just what I see in US shows, and televised EU courts.

When my mom died most people just wore dark or black clothes, I think I saw like 10% wearing a complete suit.
Black jeans, black shoes and a black jacket were pretty common.
