You'll get some snooty responses, but do you think the person who passed really cares what you are wearing? We buried my grandpa in what he wanted, which was what he wore every day, blue dickies mechanic shirt and pants. Plenty of people came to pay respects right out of work, one guy even brushed himself outside before coming inside. But ya know what? They showed up to pay respects to a friend, and I can respect that
I typically wear a black suit though

If wearing jeans all the time is how the deceased knew you then YES!!
And if the deceased really like to hang out with a lot of strippers?

I think you phrased this question incorrectly

What parish you in?

Nowadays any attire that is clean and doesn’t draw attention to yourself is acceptable

Jeans and boots?
I see you've never been to a cowboy's wake or funeral. Being decently dressed for the occasion is what should count. Jeans and boots fall into the decently dressed category.

He was. He passed away many years ago from Pancreatic cancer. He was a coal miner and didn't know he had cancer until a rib burst occurred. A rib burst is where pressure from the mountain caused the side of the mine to burst/explode out and hit him in his ribs. He was hospitalized for that and they discovered the cancer. My last memories of him were sitting next to him at the hospital watching NASCAR race at Richmond. He died shortly after.

As long as no cigarettes or visible tats. Be respectful.

When dressing to attend a memorial service, I tend to wear clothing that I believe will be in tune with what the other folks there will be wearing. I have lots of family in bayou country. When attending a wake in those parts, I find dark jeans and nice, clean boots worn with a dress shirt to be perfectly fine. Hell, my uncle wore jean shorts and tennis shoes to his own mother's wake. I knew he wasn't much of a fashion-plate and didn't want to make him feel bad, so I wore more casual clothes to that service. In short, do your best to look presentable and respectful, but don't wear Armani if you're gonna stand-out.
A lot of this is generational, too. Another uncle got really bent out of shape at a wake because they younger guys weren't wearing blazers. He actually brought along a bunch of spare sport-coats in his car and made us wear them! Navy blazers with black pants! The horror!

Yes a dark denim pressed pant is entirely acceptable damn near anywhere.

When I die, I don't really give a shite what people wear. If they know me, they'll know I never once wore a suit by choice.
My uncle requested a party, and it was an amazing party with nothing but happy memories and friends telling stories. I don't have the circle of friends like he had, but that would be my wish.

Gypsy wake?
Posted on 10/27/21 at 11:31 am to Walt OReilly
What is a wake? Is that entry level to to woke?
Posted on 10/27/21 at 12:11 pm to Walt OReilly
I'd rather you come in dirty clothes than not come at all.

What, you don't own a pair of khakis or some dress slacks and dress shirt? Or do you just not give a shite about yourself or the deceased?

The wake isn't formal. Wear whatever you please.

Are jeans appropriate to wear to a wake?
If you have to ask, you already know the answer.

As long as you don't resemble a derelict that fact that showed up is more important.
Posted on 10/27/21 at 5:47 pm to Walt OReilly
If you need to ask…the answer is No.
