In Mourning?

[vmac3205]

Actually, from what I have observed people showing up to funerals wearing in the past few years, ANY tartan with dress shirt and jacket would be a vast improvement. I don't know what has happened, but at least on the west coast, many people think blue jeans and sweatshirts is appropriate funeral wear, and I have seen women in jeans and those little tops that don't quite cover all the fat rolls at the waist. I must be a conservative old Crone. So good gentlefolk, wear with pride any tartan kilt you have. Just don't wear it with a muscle shirt.

You aren't alone.

I am constantly amazed at what people wear to "show their respects". The last funeral I went to, I too saw the women in ratty jeans with halter tops or belly shirts. Men wore ball caps inside the church during the service and had on jeans. I think only a handful of folk, myself included, wore dress clothes and ties.

I don't think any kilt is inappropriate for a funeral (save for sportkilts or utilikilts). A kilt is a fine piece of attire and you are paying the departed honor by wearing your best. No doubt, you will be classier than the majority there nowadays.

Even with a Sportkilt or a Utilikilt!
