I don't even own a suit haha

I wish they were more affordable in the US. I love wearing a suit, makes me feel like a mobster. lol Cosplay for the unstable.

Hopefully no weddings or funerals coming up. Then again, if you're American, I've seen people show up to a wedding in shorts and a baseball cap. No ironing required.

The most recent funeral I attended, only the deceased's brother wore a suit, the rest of the family wore basically everyday clothes, as did 99% of the attendants. I left my suit jacket in the car because I felt overdressed.

Was this in the US?

It was, yes.

The deceased wasn't the type that would want anyone to put on their Sunday best just for him, so it made sense. But when I mentioned it to my father, he commented that no one really wears suits to funerals anymore, or even weddings.

That's how we did my grandfather's memorial. Grandma didn't want it to feel formal and we weren't about to force that.

Just across (south) of the bay from you judging by your name: I was at a funeral recently, not many people wore suits. Of course, nobody wore shorts or anything, but not too many formal suits.

I didn't for a long time either. Then I needed one.
