A few of the things you should definitely avoid wearing to these events, unless the host specifies otherwise, include: Wearing anything that might be distracting Neon colors and bright prints Flashy or noisy accessories Flip-flops or bedroom shoes T-shirts with graphics and logos Anything with motifs or symbols relating to death (skulls, coffins, poison etc.) Work uniforms Ultimately, there aren't any hard rules as to what should and shouldn't be worn to a celebration of life event, as different celebrations might include activities that require specialty clothing

The gorgeous all-over floral print is super eye-catching, while the mesh fabric can stretch and sculpt to your body

Style this look with barely-there nude sandals that elongate the legs and a cream or ivory clutch for a soft contrast
