Black or white?/ Here's what the dress code for the Pope's funeral

The Catholic Church's protocol is quite strict, and the dress code for its leader is no exception. The Vatican's rules have been reported in great detail by the Italian press, so that everyone present at Pope Francis' funeral will be properly presented.

For men, a dark suit with a long black tie and white shirt is mandatory. Technically, dark colors like gray or blue are allowed for men's suits, but it's unlikely that anyone attending the funeral will wear anything other than black.

Shoes, long socks, coats and an umbrella must also be black. On the left collar, a black button is permitted. The only permitted alternative is papal honors, which may be displayed on jackets, where no other adornment will be possible. Male accessories such as rings, bracelets and watches must be discreet.

Women should wear a black dress or suit. If a woman chooses the first option, it should be long enough to reach below the knee. Shoes should be black and closed-toed, with low heels, while black sheer tights are recommended to appear under the dresses, as well as black gloves.

Women may also wear a black veil to cover their head, which is not mandatory. The bag must be black and small, and the only jewelry allowed is a single pearl necklace.

The so-called "white privilege" has been suspended. Normally, queens and princesses from Catholic royal families are only allowed to meet the Pope at the Vatican wearing a white dress, while everyone else is forced to wear black./CNA
