Can I wear a rainbow jacket to a funeral?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Wearing a rainbow jacket to a funeral would depend on the dress code specified by the family or on any dress code indicated in case of religious ceremonies. Usually, dark colors are preferred for mourning and should be the norm during those events but there is no strict rule against wearing other colors as long as they aren't too flashy or overly casual looking. It ultimately falls down to personal choice but one should be mindful not to disrespect the event with an outfit that may look odd or insensitive.<|im_end|>

It depends on the culture. For instance, women might wear a dress instead, or men may wear a ceremonial robe. If you're not sure, get advice from the person who invited you.<|im_end|>

Why do most people wear dark cloths? Is it cultural or is there any specific reason?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
In western cultures this is seen as respectful to the solemnity of the occasion. However, this is not true in every culture. For example, in India, it is customary to wear white to a funeral.<|im_end|>
