So, how about this men's outfit?

[Kaki321]

To formal night on the Carnival Miracle, my husband wants to wear a tux concoction a la "Casablanca". (think Humphrey Bogart).

 

Black Pants

White Dinner Jacket/Tux Jacket

White Shirt

Black Cumberbund (sp?) and Black Bow Tie

 

Sounds pretty sharp to me!

 

He wanted me to check anyway to see if people wear just black tuxes, white tuxes, or the combo tux like above

Here's probably more info than you ever thought you needed (or wanted!):

When we were on the Spirit last year, there was a gentleman who wore just what you described. I thought he looked so handsome! I say go for it. :D

My husband takes 2 tuxes, and the one is black pants, cream jacket, cream shirt, black cumber and bow tie, and he looks just fabulous, so good in fact, his friend just bought one too.

Abso-smurfly!!!!! :D The white dinner jacket tux combo always makes my heart beat a little faster - he will look wonderful. Just make sure to take lots of photos.

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

He will be the hit of the night and it will make some great pictures also.

I'm personally not a fan of a white/cream dinner jacket, but that's my personal taste and it's not incorrect. If your husband is excited to wear it, then by all means--encourage the heck out of it :D

 

For a little personal "panache", I've always preferred patterned vests or cummerbunds, worn with a black tuxedo.....

Very classy and certainly formal.

the set up my husband donned during our Sensation cruise in '01. He looked very sharp and fit in wonderfully. I always think that for the caribbean the casa blanca look is the best.

Funny, I'd place it in the Mediterranean myself:p Ah, sorry, I never can resist geographical humor:rolleyes:

 

 

In case my appalling grammar wasn't clear in my previous post, I meant that the cream dinner jacket "isn't incorrect", not that my taste "isn't incorrect".

Patterned vests and cummerbunds are not classic.

 

I love the white dinner jacket look!

[Nliedel]

That's what Gene wore on our last cruise for the formal nights. He also wore that combo when we got married. Sigh.

[Kaki321]

Well, he went and did it, invested in a black tux - - AND a white dinner jacket! :eek:

 

Says he's been wanting to buy formal wear for a while now.

 

There is my excuse to cruise a few times a year - - "honey, you need to get some use out of your new tux(es)" :)
