RMLincoln Posted October 19, 2009 #26 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I think a nice bolo is more attractive than a necktie:) But it is usually worn with a collared shirt. The shirt can be open at the neck or buttoned. Frankly I think open looks better with a bolo. And women were them also. Very pretty with a vest.

docksider21 Posted October 19, 2009 #27 Share Posted October 19, 2009 If a tie is too restrictive for the gentleman, wouldn't a Nehru or mandarin collar also bother him? If he could wear that sort of collar, is it that much different than a loosely tied necktie? Sails, you are right. But a standard lay-down collar still requires a tie, which could trigger the feeling of constriction even if loose. A mandarin collar requires no tie, thus the dilemma is avoided. http://justtuxedoshirts.com/Mens-Banded-Collar-Tuxedo-Shirts/M/B0017LGGCW.htm Found these in several colors. Cheap, too.

geocruiser Posted October 20, 2009 #28 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hi, My husband all so hate ties. so for formal nights he got a tux and wears a mandarin collar shirt with it. He also so got the neck size just a little larger that he would wear. (but you can't tell by looking at him). The collar sits low on his neck. He looks great in it. There is a link below for it. http://www.buy4lesstuxedo.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=Mandarin-Collar-Tuxedo-Shirts&gclid=CJPvgYe1yp0CFado5QodSUojrw Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa Fan Posted October 20, 2009 #29 Share Posted October 20, 2009 For the life of me. I can't undertand what the big deal is about "evening attire". My suggestion, OP- let the hubby walk in with a sweater and dockers.... IF (which probably won't happen) the powers that be tell him to change, have a back up plan. Don't sweat it. You're on vacation. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missanarchy Posted October 20, 2009 #32 Share Posted October 20, 2009 What would be the dress code for children on formal nights? I have a 6 year old son. Last time we went on Royal Caribbean and he work nice pants, a nice button down shirt and his sneakers. Will something like that be ok for him on the Ryndam this time?

Last time we went on Royal Caribbean and he work nice pants, a nice button down shirt and his sneakers. Will something like that be ok for him on the Ryndam this time? I bought 3 grandkids to Alaska in May. They wore everything from a suit and tie (13 yr old) with sneakers, to a fancy "flower girl dress" (10 yr old), to what my 15 yr old GD said were formal jeans:confused:. She wore them with high heels and a pretty top, necklace and wrap. Nobody cared. We wanted the kids to have a vacation and the last thing I was going to tell them was that their clothes weren't good enough:eek:. They always looked neat and they were with us, while we were dressed nicely, DH in dark suit, me in sparkly top and slacks, sometimes with a wrap. Although I have seen children in Tuxes, that really seems a bit much to me, IMO. I would think a sweater or vest on top of the button down shirt could dress it up if you wanted to, but if n ot I doubt anyone would balk. It's your vacation, I say enjoy enjoy it :) That's just my 2 cents and others I'm sure will disagree, giving you a variety of opinions.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I don't expect there would be any problem for his age dressed as you have described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
