A menswear fashion expert on Saturday gave a brutal review of Donald Trump's attire at the Pope's funeral.
In September, Derek Guy, a menswear expert who has contributed to the Washington Post and Esquire, publicly shamedTrump for shilling a $100,000 watch he described as an obvious scam.
Over the weekend, Guy turned his attention to Trump's funeral faux pas.

Guy posted a photo of Trump at the funeral on social media, writing, "These norms are pretty much gone in the US, but for the Pope's funeral, seems like you should adhere to protocol."
"A funeral calls for a black wool suit, white shirt, black tie, and black leather dress shoes," he added.
A popular account on X responded to Guy, saying, "Incorrect."
"Funerals do not come with dress protocol (and I've never seen a woman wear those things at one)," the user wrote Saturday.
Guy replied, "This is true. Here are some things you can wear to a funeral."
"If someone has died, consider attending the funeral in black tie (also known as a tuxedo in American vernacular). Black, as we know, is the color of mourning, so black tie shows respect for the deceased and their family. Do a little jump and dance at the funeral, so people can admire how your jacket collar hugs your neck. This demonstrates that you took the time to make sure your tuxedo is well-tailored for this somber occasion. Carry a martini around and toast during the eulogy," he wrote. "Another great choice is a velvet or tartan dinner jacket. This is a little more unique, but a funeral is a great time to show off a bit of personal style. The black on your trousers (sometimes bow tie) still conveys that you're mourning."
He then added, "For a summer funeral, consider wearing shorts. This is not only more comfortable, but also conveys the heavy fact that life is short. I like shorts with a knitted top, such as a sweater or hoodie. Go for a black hoodie—the most formal of hoodies."
Guy went on to sarcastically recommend a "mesh top" for summer funerals, as well as a jacket with fur on the inside for winter and fall funerals.
"There are no protocols to dressing for a funeral. It's simply the laying of the deceased—that's it. So feel free to wear whatever you want. Maybe wear a sleeping bag or this Budweiser sport coat. Or a Japanese ostrich pillow for when you want to take a little nap," the expert then concluded.
Conservative analyst Tom Nichols responded to the thread Saturday, saying, "These are lethal levels of shade here."
