I like to wear a typical Blazer with a bowtie and black/gray suit pants.

The comments on this thread will be fun. Especially once it gets to around 60 pages.

 

I personally wear jeans, a polo shirt and tennis shoes.

I wore a little black dress and DH wore a suit tie for the first formal night, but we were so tired the second one he only managed a silk shirt and linen pants.

I usually wear a somewhat dressy, but not long dress with a shrug over it.   Last cruise, one dress was black velvet, one was blue.  Both pack up small, don't require ironing, and are comfortable enough.  And then after dinner I more or less ran to my cabin to get back into shorts/tshirt/flip flops before doing anything else.  Whatever you wear, you'll see people less dressy and more dressy than you.

Tux ! and my DW wears something elegant and sexy

[Cruise Traveler Susan]

Black dress pants with either a sparkly or lacy top; husband dress pants, dress shirt and tie.  No jacket

[elcuchio24]

Usually wear a blazer= typically in the top 20% best dressed while sporting it...

[Fla Mike]

Tux or Dinner Jacket for me and a dressy dress, (not floor length) for the wifey.

[sw33twif3]

Dress pants with pressed shirt, tie, and vest. 

[mikenbon]

I wear a dress that would be suitable for a summer party or wedding, and DH wears a sports jacket with dress pants, shirt and tie for the first "elegant " dinner. For the second I wear a different dressy outfit and he wears a "Hawaiian" shirt with casual summer pants.

Cutoffs and a tank top.

Does he also wear Hawaiian shirts on casual nights? I saw someone on my last cruise who wore one nightly. Thought it was cool he had so many. His wife wore them sometimes too! 

[bjfitz0703]

Think gents want to look sharp and ladies pretty.  My $0.02.  What did ZZTop say about sharp dressed men.....

[mikenbon]

He may wear the Hawaiian shirt one more evening, but that's all. We do see so e fellows wearing them nightly, and have seen their partners with matching dresses.

dockers and long sleeve button down.

Same here.  Used to wear a suit and tie "back in the day".

For the second Elegant Light:

 

or we will do matching Hawaiian Prints (sorry no pics). Me in a maxi dress and  DH in Dockers (navy or black) with a pair of Sperry.  

[beachbum53]

I wear a pair of Dockers and a polo shirt. My wife wears a nice pair of slacks and a pretty blouse. We stopped "dressing up" for Elegant night several years ago, when the airlines started charging $25.00 per checked bag. We learned to pack less, which meant no more suits for me or fancy dresses for my wife. We decided we already had plenty of pictures of us dressed up for dinner and didn't need or want any more. We also discovered that the steak and lobster (or whatever was on the menu) tasted exactly the same whether we were dressed up or less formal.

[Sabalon]

I'll have black "dress" pants on, and a polo, maybe a button up shirt, a tie if I remember.   While I find the whole thing ridiculous (cmon, 5 hours before you were having a Guy's Burger), I'm not going to show up in shorts and a t-shirt.

One year I did actually pack a jacket as well, but Caribbean, June, fat guy...nah...not elegant at all.  Maybe if I was in better shape I wouldn't mind more of a classic look, but flying and stuff, just not worth it.
