Dressing properly in times of loss is one approach to honor the memory of the lost.Formal black clothes with no prints is appropriate, as are knee-length skirts.
If a black clothing is not available or a uniform is necessary, a black ribbon can be added to the left chest or left sleeve as appropriate.
Avoid brightly colored apparel, black clothing with huge prints, shredded tops or pants, very revealing clothing, and sparkly clothing.
After 15 days, you can return to other neutral-colored clothing like grey, navy, white, or beige
