    At weddings the bride will wear a white dress called Shiromuku, and the groom will wear a Hakama skirt and a jacket with her family coat of arms.

When deciding on your outfit for the wedding, first find out how formal the event will be. If it is a Shinto wedding or a formal Western wedding, the guests should dress elegantly, even wearing kimonos. If you want modern clothing, there are a few rules you must follow. Men should go for a dark suit with a white tie at formal ceremonies, but if the occasion is more informal, a colorful tie can be used.Women should wear a dress or skirt, preferably knee length. Avoid showing your shoulders; if the dress is sleeveless, add a scarf or bolero. White should be avoided, although at a more casual wedding you may want to wear black. in Japan, it is better to overdress than under dress, so avoid casual clothing.

    b) Japanese Funeral Attire

    Cemeteries in Japan are no less grim than anywhere else in the world. So, don't be surprised if guests have to wear black clothes. However, the expectations are a little more specific than in the West. Simplicity is the key, because it is a sign of respect for the deceased and the family left behind.

men must wear a black coat with a white shirt, black tie, and black shoes. Not allowed to wear seat belts or shiny jewelry, other than wedding rings. As for women, it is better to wear clothes that cover the shoulders and wear a dress or skirt, make sure the hem of the skirt covers the knees even when sitting. Fabrics shouldn't be shiny, embroidered or two-tone, and avoid frills and creases. If the woman has long hair, wear it in a neat tie. A matte black kimono is also a great funeral outfit.
