Casual to Smart Casual

Exactly!! This outfit looks much nicer in my opinion, than someone who feels pushed to go buy a pair of khakis at wal mart just for the sake of wearing khakis to dinner instead of jeans. Not that there's anything wrong with wal mart khakis, or khakis in general, just that it is entirely possible to look dressed up in a pair of jeans and to look better in them than one would wearing dress pants (because of style preferences).

 

I personally think this guy looks really handsome and well dressed, and his outfit looks more stylish paired with jeans than it would paired with dress pants. I like it.

Looks a lot better than some of the "wacko formal" clothing I've seen some people that look like they belong in the circus.

What are dress jeans? Isn't that an oxymoron

 

No, all styles of clothes are made from jean material, been this way FOR YEARS and years. Some are very dressy to elegant and some are bib overhauls but rarely see bib overhauls on the ships.

You must be on a different cruise line...... Tuxes are no longer the norm and suits are getting less in numbers.... on Caribbean Cruises.

 

I have a Tux and wore it 3 times in 2016 and NEVER on a Caribbean cruise. Taking a Med cruise in September and might pack it. On Serenade 11 Thanksgiving I wore my suit two times..... but on Allure next week, not packing either.

 

Dress codes are suggestions....

 

We were on serenade last November, I would think the majority dressed on Formal night, many men in a Tux and ladies in gowns, Including those in national costume. The photos on display seemed to bear out my observations.

We were on Serenade 11/21 but had very early dinning as we were with a group. I was the ONLY one in our group of 11 that wore a suit and tie, much less a tie. I would say a Tux was less than one in twenty men. Maybe on later dinning as we were at 530.

 

I couldn't get my suit off fast enough to head to the Casino.
