Most Japanese have a versatile black suit consisting of a black dress and a jacket. This ensemble is dressed up with a corsage for weddings and dressed down with pearls or no accessories for a funeral. If you don’t have this type of formal ensemble, wear a black dress or pants. Long sleeves are preferred. Stockings should be black. Avoid shoes and bags that are shiny or have metal parts. If you have them, wear white pearl earrings and necklace. If your wedding ring has precious stones in it, turn it inward so that they don’t show. Do not wear other accessories. Keep makeup simple, and tie back your hair if it is long.
