I fucking hate formalwear rules.

Dark blue should count as a "dark suit", shouldn't it? If the expectation was "wear a black suit", then the rule should have been "wear a black suit".

Even just having to wear a suit at all is stupid: "You must wear a special kind of jacket that doesn't properly close in front, creating a little window through which people can see the shirt you're wearing underneath, and a ribbon of pretty fabric you wear draped around your neck."

Meanwhile, women are allowed to just use reasonable discretion as long as they're wearing a dress. The style of dress isn't specified (but of course most women will interpret it as "show a little bit of bare chest, but not too much, because it's a funeral")

Cartoonist Michael Leunig (r.i.p.) called them the 'business burkha' and I've thought of them as such ever since.
