How bright is the red? If a subdued shade, yes. If a bright shade, no. But, your neighbor's wife liked red. Thank about what she would of liked and be the judge.
PS. My sympathies to the family.
It's a beet red, dark deep. She liked red.
times have changed people
if she liked red then by all means wear it
I may stick with the red. I'm kind of confused now.
I would have to say darker also. I normaly wear black and grey to funerals, might as well fit the theme so to speak.
Well my suit is black and there's gray in the tie, I've never really been one to fit in.
The way I see it..if you are a guy that always wears brighter colors, and this lady knew this was who you were. The you must wear your red stripe tie...it's who you are and she would want that.
When away from work a splash of color has always been my trademark, it was hers as well. Wearing putrid dark green at work for years made me want a livlier color off work.
I would not wear red at a funeral even though it is red with grey stripes.
You mentioned your neighbour's wife died mysteriously - perhaps under these circumstances red should be avoided in case on lookers think you have a part in the death!
I hadn't thought about being linked to this.
There seems to be a lot of push towards that and an almost equal number saying to wear the red.
I'm going to talk with her husband later and see how he's holding up, maybe get a feel of it all. I guess my tie purchases over the years haven't been as good as they should have been.
I remember my Granny had a friend that wore a bright red dress to a funeral once, it was upsetting to all except the bereaved person's family, they were happy about it that's why I want to talk with her husband and maybe their son, he drove in last night.
