Pretty much the same here. I’m lazy. It’s easy.

I wear head to toe black all the time.

I wear those everywhere. Much more chic than shorts on summer weekends. Also wear to the office. Keep a blazer or cardigan in a contrasting color to add interest

That dress is not appropriate for a funeral.

Agree with PPs that it would look cute with sandals and bright accessories.

I also happen to like wearing brown with black in the summer, if done correctly it can look summery and sophisticated. Like a pair of strappy brown leather sandals and woven bag, plus some gold jewelry, could work here. Works best if you also have a good tan!

I'm a therapist, I just bought several similar ( with short sleeve/stripes) for work wear this summer. And one black. You can dress it up or down, it's very versatile and easy.

Anywhere! Throw on a colored cardigan or wrap if you want to brighten it up a little.

I'm 5'2". I might have that exact dress.
It's a midi length on me and looks good. Not sack like at all.

In Japan, everyone wears black.

Where would you not wear this dress?!

This. I don't know why people are saying this is classic. This is a "will i get out of my pjs to drive the kids to the bus" outfit. Not flattering unless you are a lithe 5'8 parisienne woman.

If you are less than 5’8”, never.

I have black dresses for funerals. A winter one (ponte, knee length sheath), and a frilly lightweight cotton one with an A line skirt that ends below the knee.

I think you could wear this to a funeral if it wasn't too wrinkly and you dressed it up with black pumps, nice bag, nice belt.

Lol PP did not read the post accurately

That's a midi dress.

Search YouTube for ways to style a black midi dress to get examples.
Here’s one

I wear them all the time. White sneakers and a Jean jacket to kids sports

I’d wear it anywhere. If you like how it feels and how you look, wear it! Shopping, errands, why wait for an occasion??
