For those of you who want to follow the tradition to the letter, on those days it is common for women to dress in mantillas , something that has been done for centuries to show mourning and respect. As it could not be otherwise, in this case a protocol must also be followed.
How to dress correctly as a mantilla? To begin with, the black dress must be completely smooth. As for the length, it must be at least knee-length, with long or French sleeves and a crew neck. Stockings must also be black and plain. And as for shoes, the appropriate one and the one that should be used is of the salon type.
It is important not to forget the accessories, with which it is commonly more common to "screw up". In the first place, if you do not wear the brotherhood medal, discreet necklaces are the best option. For example, a pearl necklace or a chain with a discreet cross. The fundamental point to wear a mantilla is the mantilla itself, which should not exceed the length of the dress. The use of short black gloves without lace is recommended. As for makeup for this occasion, it should be as natural as possible.
