Perhaps something else as well. Watch this space.

 

Dance like it hurts, love like you need money, and work when somebody's watching.

My DH loves to dress up but rarely gets to so a few years ago he told me he wanted to rent a tux for our next cruise. Before that could happen we were invited to a Black tie only wedding so off we went Tux shopping. He took me everywhere looking to find the cheapest but nice looking tux. He finally bought one and so far has worn it to 2 weddings and 2 cruises with an upcoming cruise in September. I'd say he got his moneys worth! Our last cruise in Jan on the Triumph we noticed people dressed in the dining room but at the show that evening we felt out of place all dressed up. Either everyone quickly got out of their formal clothes or the shows had people who all ate at the buffet! We both thought how sad it was that we should feel out of place on formal night! Hopefully this is not a trend but it very well may be. Ebay is a great place to buy inexpensive formal clothes.

Another vote for the tux here,simply because I own one.If I didn't I would opt for a dark suit w/tie.Have seen the full range in the dining room though. icon_rolleyes.gif

Dark suit or tux.

Tux wear seems be decreasing each cruise we go on. We just got back from a 12 day cruise and the majority of men wore dark suits. There were more colorful (green, yellow, orange) sports coats or even less formal wear than Tux wear. Jeans were common on the rest of the nights in the dinning room.
