Funeral fashion style, also known as mourning attire or Gothic funeral fashion, is a somber and respectful aesthetic inspired by traditional funeral wear and Gothic subculture.
Funeral fashion has roots in Victorian mourning customs, where strict dress codes were observed following a death. The style evolved over time, influenced by Gothic subculture and dark romantic aesthetics. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, it became a fashion statement beyond actual mourning, embraced by those drawn to its dramatic and melancholic appeal.
