cruiser02 Posted May 13, 2018 #27 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I thought as I get closer to 60 it was about time I got more responsible. Though I could say that I learnt from some of the best, hey Mr L.:D Julie Wait til you get to 70-something ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavovsky Posted May 23, 2018 #28 Share Posted May 23, 2018 This question relates to an August med cruise on the Odyssey but I suspect the answer would be the same. How prevalent are Tuxedos on formal nights? In two minds whether to bring or go with the formal but less formal blazer option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will see a few Gentlemen wearing a Tux and you will see a few not wearing a Tux but wearing a jacket and tie or a jacket with an open neck shirt. All is ok but wear what makes you feel at your best. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covepointcruiser Posted May 24, 2018 #31 Share Posted May 24, 2018 On our present sailing, Kobe to Vancouver, most men wear jackets with striped dress shorts in the evening, almost a uniform but they look good. We had many tuxedos on our first formal night but the ladies wore knee length dressy dresses. I don’t recall any ankle length dresses. The restaurants are well air conditioned so the men are comfortable in their jackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKP946 Posted May 24, 2018 #34 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Striped dress shorts? I've never seen them! In a Shanghai department store we saw heavily padded down shorts, perhaps the stripes are the latest connotation especially for Seabourn (to please those that wish to wear shorts in the evening;)) It would be nice to see a photo:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Rather depends on the dress code for the evening and where you plan to dine. Ok for a casual night at the patio grill i suppose, lots of summer dresses normally though. And then cocktail length generally or dressy pants for formal.

SLSD Posted May 27, 2018 #43 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I save my white jeans for more casual daytime wear, but that is just me. I usually wear a dress in the evenings, or pants (but not jeans) with a dressy top. To tell you the truth, I never focussed on what others were wearing while we were on the Encore. I always felt like I fit in with my choices, and did not notice anyone in the evenings that seemed out of line with the dress code. We dined most evenings in the MDR.

lincslady Posted May 28, 2018 #44 Share Posted May 28, 2018 You do slightly run the risk of being frowned on with obvious jeans in the evening, in the dining room. My solution is black or white jeans, but with a longish top over so the telltale belt and back pockets do not show, making them look more like regular cotton trousers. Not blue denim, however, even if ripped and adorned with jewels by Dior or whoever, and costing hundreds of dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLSD Posted May 28, 2018 #46 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Cruiser02, I am certainly taking my blue denim jeans (dark blue) to wear on some excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isklaar Posted May 28, 2018 #47 Share Posted May 28, 2018 As a person from northern Europe I can't imagine why anyone would want to wear jeans in the Med in summer months! For those cruising further north, eg Scandinavia, British Isles, Alaska nobody will bat an eyelid if you're wearing your blue jeans during the daytime. Except for the rainy countries, UK I'm looking at you, worth remembering that when jeans get wet it takes them forever to dry in cooler temperatures. That said, we're having some gorgeous weather in parts of the UK right now, as is most of northern Europe. It's in the mid 20s (mid 70s F) whereas I noticed some parts of Spain were 10 degrees C cooler than here! I'll be in Stockholm tomorrow where it's going to be 29 C (84F), however, in Barcelona for example it will be 21 C (71F). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted May 28, 2018 #49 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Of course take the blue denims for the daytime - I do and am also over 70 - but it is just this (possibly a bit old-fashioned ) rule that they are not suitable for the evening that I suggest the way round it. I take blue, white and black usually, as well as other coloured cotton trousers, but forget the blue denim after 6 - simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLSD Posted May 28, 2018 #50 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I think we have pretty much established that denim blue jeans are inappropriate after 6pm! I wear mine only during the day and being from Dallas, where it is ultra steamy and hot in the summertime, we wear them in the summertime too! Rest assured that they are only one of the pairs of pants I am bringing--the others being white and navy. I think we will all be appropriately dressed for our respective cruises. The issue I am having now is what gets packed and what stays home. Hearing that it is going to be in the 80sF in Stockholm is surprising--but I will be prepared for any eventuality.
