Packing List for Men?

Gents, please leave your convertible trousers at home (or at least, only wear them before 6pm.) These are “pants” that zip off the legs and convert into shorts. We were on a segment of the world cruise last year and we’re shocked to see men wearing these treasures to dinner at night.  Though technically it satisfied the dress code (when the legs were zipped on), it looked rather sloppy. Same goes for hiking type shoes…don’t wear them at night! 

I think its a oxymoron to have the word 'gents' in the same sentence as 'convertible shorts'!🤪...unless of course you are on the Carnival cruise site!

Convertible pants cost about $80. They aren't inexpensive...and the whole "Carnival is low class" thing is getting old.

Ok. Serious posts only.

          .There is that "not our kind" dear type of reference. And I have definitely seen those things on Regent.

So I shouldn't wear the shorts part and keep the legs in my pocket in case I start getting the side-eye from other passengers and need to zip them on? 🙃

 

Yup, keep them with you at the pool and when you see the clock strike six o'clock, zip those babies on before anyone can say a thing! 🤣

I believe the Regent dress code is called “elegant casual”. Regardless of what your convertible pants cost, they are fine during the day if you are out trekking in the nether region wilderness (while wearing your hiking shoes), but they certainly are not “elegant” to sit down for a nice dinner in any of the Regent dining rooms.

Exactly why they buy them.  It’s a 2 in one solution, you get to pack less and go from day wear to night wear with a simple zip.

And they meet the definition of long pants in the Dress Code. How about you worry about you and let Regent worry about others.

Our thoughts exactly. We don’t examine in detail other people’s choices we are too busy enjoying what Regent has to offer. Once the perceived offender sits down what ever kind of slacks or whatever they have on is out of sight just like the Santa socks and red tennis shoes. And that didn’t ruin s single evening of our WC but is a funny memory now.

I have a pair of those leather "sneakers" with the white soles, which can dress up or down. I thought of taking those. They're a bit more casual than black loafers, but more versatile too.

 

 

You might take a look at cole hahn zerogrand shoes - super comfy for a shoreex with jeans yet can wear with a jacket and tie at night.

Or the new U.S. Senate dress code....

I got a pair this summer & really love them. I plan to take them on the upcoming cruise.
