golfadj Posted January 5, 2011 #28 Share Posted January 5, 2011 In SW Va we have a redneck panel made up of 12 people who pronounce fashion rules each year. To be on the panel you must have at least 3 old cars on blocks in your yard as a sign of expertise. Will get a ruling from them and let you know.

elcuchio24 Posted January 5, 2011 #29 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Have to disagree here! Women wear slips (well, some do) and underpants and it is still considered a fashion no-no to show them! Everybody also now knows women have breasts, but they still need to be covered :) Disagree on the last, and have no idea what a slip is. You mean a receipt from when you pay with your S&S card?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5waldos Posted January 5, 2011 #30 Share Posted January 5, 2011 When I asked a similar question I was assured that the What Not to Wear people had canceled their reservations on my cruise, so I would be ok. In fact on board you will see everything. And even in the "old days" the question of white shoes in the tropic was unclear. So pack away and don't worry- if white shoes are the worst fashion error on board you will be sooo lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindrid Posted January 5, 2011 #31 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I did search but, really haven't found an answer. So, my question is does the "No white shoes/pants" rule apply on a cruise? I'm heading off on my first B2B & first winter cruise February 7 and wanted to start laying out some outfits...then it dawned on me about what time of the year it is. So, is it a fashion faux pas to wear white capris & flip flops???:confused::confused::confused: I believe the white rules has been determined outdated and out of touch - don't worry about it.........

bankerbabe Posted January 5, 2011 #32 Share Posted January 5, 2011 No white pantys under white always wear flesh colored. Less visible panty line. Or skip them altogether. Ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will notice that you will see EVERYTHING!! Any concerns you have about how you will look or how you should dress or how you look in a swimsuit will vanish when you see the wide variety of human beings in all their choices of clothing and all their sizes and shapes.

H82seaUgo Posted January 5, 2011 #35 Share Posted January 5, 2011 the white used to be for heat reflection. when you're in the tropics, you still want to wear white, while in the cooler temps you want to wear dark to atteact the heat. air conditioning broke the white rule.

So, is it a fashion faux pas to wear white capris & flip flops???:confused::confused::confused: Actually, in the Caribbean, white and off white combos are very popular' But if you're thinking of wearing camo:Djust don't do it in Barbados...It's verboten! And if in Bermuda, don't even think about strolling down their streets sporting your bikini, you will get the opposite of "cat calls". The fashion critics they are :eek: Enjoy your cruise!

5ladybug5 Posted January 5, 2011 #41 Share Posted January 5, 2011 On my last cruise I cut my foot, and the only shoes that felt good were my black fluffy flip flops.... I wore them with brown capris.... and NOBODY cared that I was wearing black shoes with brown pants! :) Welcome to your vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westview1 Posted January 5, 2011 #42 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'm definitely packing the white capris for my cruise. If Stacey and Clinton think it's ok then I'm good. I say wear what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenee Posted January 5, 2011 #43 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Floridians, well most of us, wear white all year long. I guess the fashion Dinosaurs still adhere to the old rules. And yes we still bring our camo along too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargate fan Posted January 5, 2011 #44 Share Posted January 5, 2011 lmao .. that is so true. Maybe Im just old, but I saw so many bra straps, who cares what color they were with skimpy tee shirts, tags from being new hanging out they didnt cut off (3 of them) .. I dont get why its ok to show your bra these days. OMG, I so agree with you! What's with women wearing t-back or halter tops with regular bras? And they are usually off color of each other. Is there no more modesty? I work in my local school district. Girls (13 and 14) whip feminine products out of their purses or pockets and announce loudly that they need to go to the bathroom. Seriously??? I imagine the male teachers are uncomfortable but cannot really say anything. But it doesn't even seem to phase the boys. Back to topic-I watched a fashion segment on one of the morning shows back in the fall. The rule about white after Labor Day is there is no rule about white after Labor Day anymore. Wear your white proudly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbmeow Posted January 5, 2011 #46 Share Posted January 5, 2011 lmao .. that is so true. Maybe Im just old, but I saw so many bra straps, who cares what color they were with skimpy tee shirts, tags from being new hanging out they didnt cut off (3 of them) .. I dont get why its ok to show your bra these days. I personally try to wear a bra with clear colored straps if i am going to wear one of those slinky tops. I can not go braless, and feel that most people can not go braless. Even though lots of people think they can after a certain age gravity takes over, I do not care how good of a shape you are in.
