Men's shoes - "smart casual"

[andy and amanda]

Hello!

In the midst of packing for the CB departing on Sunday (although we fly to FLL tomorrow) and DH wants to know if sandals will work with his long pants and nice-ish shirt for the "smart casual" nights in the dining room, or, should he pack and wear more formal, "dressy" shoes?

TIA -

Well, depends on what kind of sandals. There are dress sandals and there are beach sandals. Dress sandals would probably work, but not so sure if beach sandals would be appropriate.

That is exactly what my DH wears. Sandals during the day, slip ons in the evening. But he does have some great dress sandals that are simi enclosed and do not leave his bare toes sticking out that would also work.

Great article and clarification - thanks!

 

(I may even take this to work with me for some people on my staff to read!) :rolleyes:

A pair of casual shoes would be more appropriate but I don't think that anyone would become unglued over a good pair of leather sandals...once his feet are under the table no one is going to see.

I always wear sandals, Propet; I have a black pair for my black or Navy blue slacks and a brown pair for my brown slacks - plus the appropriately colored socks, of course.

I found GREAT reversible socks at Walmart..They are comfortable too..leave tomorrow for the Caribbean princess..4th time on her!

So if we were going smart casual and then downgraded, does that mean we're dressing ‘dumb casual’ now?”

At the risk of sounding too fussy, I think sandals should not be worn in the dining rooms at night, no matter how nice or semi-enclosed they are. Loafers/slip-ons are fine; sneakers and sandals--not so much.

You would be surprised how many men wore sandals and tennies on non formal nights on the Diamond Princsess. My husband just always wore his western boots (very nice ones) for all occasions. He doesn't even own a pair of regular shoes, he has always worn western boots or tennies. After 48 yrs, I am not about to change him now, lol

On our upcoming b2b2b cruise I plan on wearing my tennies a few times on Casual and perhaps once on formal night. I figure they will go great with my tux..

On some cruises you will be eating in the buffet every night along with people in "sandels".

Flip flops are good, too. You don't need to fuss with wearing socks.

I wore sandals on the CB to the dining room on Island night. No problem at all. Other nights just a casual pair of "deck shoes" as they call them. Of course formal means the black dress shoes for me.

The heck with sandals, i will just come in with bare feet.

Per Princess, shoes must be worn at all times in the dining rooms, however they do not specify what kind.. :eek:

The perfect sandal to compliment a tuxedo!

I wouldn't be caught dead in these!! But then again, I wouldn't have a choice at that point either, would I?!?!?!?
