Smart casual for men

[Jolucy]

We are first time cruisers and I am trying to figure out what my husband should wear in the evenings. He has tons of suits, and when he's not wearing them, he is in jeans and shirts. I need ideas for something in between. He's 30 and it seems like everything I've seen is either for older men or more hipster. He is not got to wear skinnier pants, colored jeans or cardigans. He's a little more rugged, but like classic clothes. Thanks for any suggests.

We're in our 30's too. Hubby is planning on wearing long sleeved collared shirts with nice jeans.

any ideas that don't involve jeans? I know that you can wear jeans in the dinning rooms, but I am hoping to dress up a little more.

Dockers and polo jerseys.

DH wears Dockers and either a polo type shirt or Tommy Bahama type shirt.

I think a lot may depend on the cruise line and to the location to which one is traveling.

 

But when I have traveled with males, whom are around that age, they have worn ; long sleeve button down shirts ( something with some interest not necessarily what one would wear with a suit to work), slacks or fitted khakis, and sometimes a blazer or sports coat (depending on the location and what I was wearing :))

 

Sometimes they add a pair of cuff links and cute shoes (however I don't think THEY would use the term cute :D...so .....nice shoes :) )

Docker or Khaki style pants are always appropriate. DH who is much older than your husband wears a long sleeve shirt, solid, plaid or stripes. He is comfortable. For a specialty restaurant he wears a sports coat and tie, and for formal night, a dark suit or tux.

Casual slacks and a collared shirt will be fine....even a golf or polo shirt is fine. Smart casual really isn't that different from casual....maybe the nicer shirt or shoes....that's about it!

To me, smart casual = "country club" casual. What the men were allowed to wear at my country club: golf pants (i.e, chinos, linen pants), polo shirts, Tommy Bahama button shirts (LOVE 'EM on a guy!!!). That would be for the dining room. For out on the course, add Bermuda-length shorts. I'd transfer that same stuff to a cruise for a guy.

Tommy Bahama has some really nice pants for men, too!

This sounds very much like what my son (21) would wear and did wear on our recent Celebrity cruise. Celebrity seemed dressier than some lines I've been on; there were not that many folks wearing just a short-sleeve polo-type knit collared shirt, for example. Far more jackets even on smart casual evenings.

Khakis and a collared shirt, long or short sleeve.

It is hard to advise without knowing time of year or destination, but here are some images of Smart Casual

Cheers, h.

Dockers, Denver Heys or alike and a golf shirt do it for me.

DH wears Dockers, khakis or linen pants - depending on the climate.

 

He'll wear either a golf shirt, long-sleeved button-down shirt (striped, plaid or check), or on the rare occasion a "Mexican wedding shirt". He doesn't wear short-sleeved dress shirts because I think they look geeky. ;)

 

For shoes he wears leather slip ons, deck shoes or leather moccasins - again, depending on the climate.

I sure as Hell don't want to pack my tux for only one or two nights on HAL's Statendam Alaska cruise. Maybe a very stoopid questions, but do any of HAL's ships rent tux's? ( I don't even wanna back a sport coat, but I guess that's a given...........)

[ducklite]

Two pair of Dockers style, one tan, one black, a few polos that go with either pair of pants, black loafers, done. Not sure what is so hard about that.

Chances are good that they do rent tuxedos. We don't sail HAL so I can't answer definitively. If you don't get a response here, maybe post directly on the HAL forum or check their website?

Almost exactly what DH packs, only vairations in color scheme. Oh, maybe a few short sleeve button shirts. Last HAL cruise we never even went into the MDR.
