Fashion Tips for your Cruise Vacation

by Seema · August 20, 2012

Going of a cruise vacation is really exciting, but it is obvious that you may get confused about the dress code on cruise. Some ships that are family friendly will allow casual clothing while others may need you to be dressed neatly throughout the day.

Luckily, the cruise industry has understood how hard it can be to understand the needs of every ship and so gives basic instructions on what to wear in the information pack handed out to you after the completion of booking.

But how to get the right outfits? What is casual and what is formal? Let us see here below.

Daywear for women

To satisfy the casual daywear policy of the ship, you need to bring light jersey outfits that you can accessorize properly every morning. You should make sure that the dress you wear is comfortable to walk around as you may be spending the day in one of the stops on the way. Match your dress with flat leather sandals. If you are wearing something with straps make sure you wear a shawl around your shoulders as exposing too much of skin might not satisfy the norms of dress code. Carry wrap dresses of various patterns and colors for cold weathers.

Daywear for men

Men can walk around in shorts during the day. Make sure to avoid baggy style cloths. Match your shorts with good T-shirt like button front or polo. Wear leather or plimsoll sandals to complete the casual look during the day. Carry pairs of chinos for chill weather.

Evening Attire for women

You can have a combination of smart and casual evening events through the entire time of your cruise so be ready for both. You can wear tailored trousers with a set of cardigan and classic jewellery such as silver, gold or pearls for smart casual evening. You can also substitute your outfit with flared skirts if you want.

You can definitely carry your dresses for formalwear. Floor length and over the knee gowns are normally the requirement. Don’t wear daring cuts and bright colors, stick to conservative style clothing style. You can think of wearing more jewelry at night in ships.
