What is the most casual men's clothing I can wear on Queen Victoria Britannia Room

[balf]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone wear a tie with a polo shirt.

Would look nice with a school tie and blue blazer for sure, thanks.

Dare say just as good as an ascot with ring or string tie which passes muster too.

I think I will decline that look.

That wasn't the issue, nor is a tie required on informal night.

 

It may not be your (or my) sartorial cup of tea, but it nominally meets the requirement and as such is suitable for a discussion of "What is the most casual men's clothing I can wear on Queen Victoria Britannia Room?"

The thing with an £89 dinner suit is that it looks like an £89 dinner suit.

Even cheaper at Slaters Menswear £65 :)

No it doesn't who cares and who will know how much your suit cost you can spend a fortune on a dinner suit and still look no better.

NO!! Polo shirts are just jumped-up T-shirts. When Cunard states "shirts" it means a proper shirt with a real collar, capable of maintaining a tie if desired.

 

The informal dress code only states that a tie is optional. It makes no reference to the need for a shirt.

 

To the OP: A polo shirt would be fine IMHO, particularly on the first and last nights.

We have done seven or eight TA crossing on the QM2. On some crossing it is Tux with hand tied bow-ties on formal night and ties with jackets on informal nights. Other times 70% dark suits on formal night and 70% jacket without ties on informal night. The dreaded jeans occasionally appear in casino after 10 PM.

Maybe no one cares, but a Gieves & Hawkes bespoke dinner suit would stand out as class, a £50 one would say Moss Bros IMO.

. I had a company in the marine service industry for 20 years. 80% of my customers where either doctors, lawyers or bank managers. They always had great suits and never paid the bill or the credit card declined. The average guy in sweats always paid cash and was happy. It was a small marina and all the other vendors stayed in touch. Some never got service again unless it was cash. If you look at people by the clothes they wear you have no clue.

We were on the QM2 first world cruise a few years ago , the first segment Florida to San Francisco around the horn. The cruise was about 30 nights and all but 3 or 4 were formal. The first and last night were the ONLY casual nights. My spouse will not do another Cunard although we loved the ship and itinerary

Makes me wonder how well nudie suits would be received -- formal or informal?

Very creative needle work - works of art.

BTW, Why is it was called a Nudie Suit?

The designer's name was Nudie Cohn.

My dear wife bought me a polo shirt many years ago which I only wore once as I did not like the style. However I did find some use for it when polishing the car. It did make a brilliant polisher and lasted me for many years. I also found it very useful for mopping up a small oil spill in my garage.

( I had of course cut it into sections ).

My wife of course was NOT amused.

:eek:

And what may I ask is wrong with that ? why pay 100's of pounds for a garment that will in some cases only be worn for about 6 or 7 evenings every couple of years.

The National Dress of Nashville?

Cunard are not as formal as they used to be on our next cruise on QE which is a 12nt cruise there are only 3 formal nights.
