Designer jeans - restaurants and chic nights

[socktaco]

The celebrity website says designer jeans and elegant top are ok for evening chic, and i presume that means in specialty restauants too. How often are ladies showing up in nice jeans and elegant tops? Really what i want to know is whether i will feel out of place if i do, and i know that's a really vague and subjective question. But im travelling solo and have reserved a specialty restaurant by myself which is a bit of a personal challenge and im interested in everyones thoughts and experiences.

You will be fine.

[broker1217]

What qualifies as designer jeans currently?

But you will be fine in the specialty restaurants with jeans with a nice top and good shoes.

I would not wear jeans, t-shirt and sneakers but they would not turn you away.

We wear dark jeans to dinner almost every night, including evening Chic nights and specialty dining. 
 

No issues whatsoever and no one will even bat an eye.

You’ll be fine, but too hot for me, especially in the Caribbean

Same for us. No problem at all.

Just no rips or tears sort of stuff.  Reality is nobody cares much beyond shorts and t-shirts.  DW and I wear sandals every night.  Socks on chic nights.

My designer is "Lee". Are they ok?

Yes. All jeans, no matter the manufactures name all are designer jeans.

Funny, there were quite a few men wearing shorts, t shirts and baseball caps in the MDR each night on our Summit cruise that ended Monday.  No one seemed to care.

I guarantee some people cared. 

And a few probably even complained to their maitre d'. (I have seen more than one older person or couple throw their napkins down in disgust and leave in the middle of dinner when someone in shorts walked in)

The crew, however, would be very unlikely to say anything because it honestly doesn't effect them as long as the person isn't being disruptive to the dining process.

Like...sandals and socks? Fashion faux pas!

But what if my team is in the World Series? I mean, I'm a Cubs fan, so I won't have to worry about it again until like 2094, but I want to be prepared.

I wear my Lucky jeans plus a nice top and high heels every time for chic night.  I save my ball gowns and husband's tux for work soirees.

I've worn jeans and a dressy top several times as evening chic dinner outfits(most recently on a 10 night cruise this past May/early June) with zero issues, and you won't feel out of place at all.

Didn't notice. The cruise was a great cruise. Met a lot of nice people.

I noticed but doesn’t bother me.  My opinion is people can wear what they want unless the crew tells them no.  It was a great cruise, only negative is my husband came home sick with covid but he is doing well today.

How funny, you gave me flashbacks.  I can remember when "designer jeans" became a thing in the 70's - Gloria Vanderbilt, Jordache IIRC - who are the "names" now?  Before that Lee, Levis and Wranglers were the only jeans around.

That seems rather rude to throw one’s napkin down and stalk out.   And I can’t imagine complaining to staff about others dress, I really don’t care.

Agree.

Bummer. We were very disappointed in the large number of people that would walk past the many hand sanitizer stations at the different venues without using them. Something the staff should have started enforcing all along and especially after the Capt. announced the face mask requirement the last couple days of the cruise!! 

We were disappointed that the CC wasn't holding the evening CC HH in the Sky Lounge like they did pre shut down.

Any company that puts their names on their jeans.

So my homemade short cutoff jeans from 1974 are ok even though I’ve gained over 125 pounds since then ?

I want to know the same.   I have well worn jeans that are faded with holes in them.  I could always take a razor and cut more.  They also have paint, plaster, grout, grass stains and grease spots on them as I use them for doing work around the house 
 

To me they are one of a kind designer jeans.   I am the designer.  I made the holes and and applied the unique design with different medias.  
 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Do you mean like these? They’re sold out, but were $630. I think if Celebrity actually knew what designer jeans looked like these days, they might change their wording, lol.
