XXDrewXX Posted October 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Hi there, On a number cruises I've noticed passengers in smart casual wear with various maritime themes e.g. chinos with with small anchor motifs, shirts with a coral pattern etc that could be worn during the day onboard. I've looked at a number of sites selling 'beachwear' but the selection for men was small & unsuitable e.g. shorts with a beer bottle pattern! ....I'm over 50 & am hoping for something a little more conservative! :) I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone could suggest sites/stores in the US that sell (mens) cruise/resort wear. Kind regards, Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted October 8, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2017 We usually buy them in US stores a month or 2 before it is in season. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayfairers Posted October 8, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2017 We have found that type clothing at many stores...department stores, boutiques, beach shops...but we live in FL so that might make a difference.

cb at sea Posted October 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Really, whatever you'd wear to any beach destination is fine. You don't need a "cruise specific" wardrobe! Just look for summer wear, and you will find those sorts of patterns...usually with "designer" labels... (and I don't mean "high end" designers...but Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, etc....)

XXDrewXX Posted October 8, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Thanks so much for getting back to me....in record time! :) The reason I've been relying on websites (& store websites) is that I live in Australia but have a sister living in CA whose address I use for shipping purposes. Selection is greater in the US than Australia but unfortunately I won't be spending any time in the US (to look in stores)before my next cruise.

57redbird Posted October 8, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 8, 2017 You might try eBay --- look for 'men's cruise wear'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted October 8, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Tommy Bahama is a another popular label and the clothes are good quality, if a little pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudgesmom Posted October 8, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Labels you could try: Izod, Sperry, Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brother, La Coste, J. Crew, LL Bean, as well as those already mentioned. Keep in mind that we are heading into fall here right now, so the selection of warm weather clothing may be limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted October 8, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 8, 2017 search for "Preppy" - comes from those "upper crust" folks from New England. Always dashing around in polos with cutsey appliqués and chinos with whales, fish, crab, etc. on the material. Best worn with deck shoes, without socks. Were frequently seen Summering on Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod. I did a vacation in Puerto Rico last Spring and damn if I didn't see some migratory Preppies there, sporting the same clothes ;) Find out where the sailboat/regatta folks buy their clothes Down Under. I could imagine stores in Sydney, Perth, and other seaside cities, would have those types of clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkSeattle Posted October 8, 2017 #16 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Tommy Bahama is a another popular label and the clothes are good quality, if a little pricey. I think this is the only brand listed that is specifically “resort wear”. Be aware that their men’s shirts are very oversized; you may want to get a smaller size than normal.

jcl410 Posted October 8, 2017 #17 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Go to Amazon and search for "anchor shorts". I also like westmarine dot com. Not too many pattern shorts, but very durable shorts for sail/fishing, etc Aloha, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose6 Posted October 8, 2017 #18 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Drew Try googling men's shorts with anchors. Several styles and different stores came up. Most large American stores have on line purchase available. Edited October 8, 2017 by rose6 Sentence structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted October 9, 2017 #19 Share Posted October 9, 2017 In increasing likelihood of nautical theme (and higher cost). check on line catalogs of L L Bean, Lands End, Vineyard Vines, and (the ultimate preppy/nautical supplier) Murray's Toggery ⚓️⛵️🚤⚓️ (only shop is in Nantucket - but they do accept on line orders).

kateg Posted October 9, 2017 #20 Share Posted October 9, 2017 On Amazon if you search "mens resort wear" you will find clothing like you described. Here in the US the summer clothes come to the stores in Jan-March. Even tough we still have warm weather in much of the US, stores are now carrying winter clothes.

navybankerteacher Posted October 9, 2017 #21 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I did a vacation in Puerto Rico last Spring and damn if I didn't see some migratory Preppies there, sporting the same clothes ;) I guess some preppies are as migratory as hospitality professionals😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hathaway42 Posted October 9, 2017 #22 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Go online to some of the department store chains in the southeastern US. Two that come to mind are Belks and Dillard's. I always find them there. They ship. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchHill Posted October 9, 2017 #23 Share Posted October 9, 2017 If visiting the US, look for premium outlet shopping malls. They have stores such at Tommy Bahama, Nautica, and Vineyard Vines. Darcy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvscruising2007 Posted October 9, 2017 #25 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Try LandsEnd. They often have nautical theme clothing. Good luck with your search and enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
