CHEZMARYLOU Posted February 7, 2018 #101 Share Posted February 7, 2018 We’ll be on the SilhouetteFeb 25th. For dining, I’m planning very nice dresses and my hubs is planning dress slacks and button down the front shirts, maybe a sport coat. We don’t plan to bring any jeans. Are we going to be too dressy. We're on the same cruise, my DH is taking a sports coat, dress shirt & tie. For smart casual nights he will be wearing island shirts. I'm taking a cocktail dress, silky capris and tops for smart casual nights. I usually wear a sun dress during the day. You won't be too dressy.

kjwinston2019 Posted February 7, 2018 #102 Share Posted February 7, 2018 We like dressing up: I rent the tux, so I don't have to pack it. It is in the room when I get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenboys Posted February 8, 2018 #103 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Then this article in Business Insider entitled Here's how often you should wash your jeans might shock you. http://www.businessinsider.com/how-often-you-should-wash-jeans-2016-3 If you don't want to read the whole article the conclusion is: So, after all of this, how often should you really wash your jeans? Basically, when they smell — no sooner and no longer. Depending on how much you sweat, how often you wear them in a week, and how dirty the area you live in is, that could be once every two to six months. I'm 59 and have my body fat down to 7%. So I wash my jeans every time I shower on the cruise. Once a week.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floozama Posted February 11, 2018 #104 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I can honestly say that I've never seen the "butt police" checking the rear pockets to determine the make or designer of jeans. Therefore, take it to mean nice, clean and unwrinkled jeans. There will be those with opinions, but it's been my experience that the only place those will be aired is on these forums. I think your spot on - designer is subjective in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keys2Heaven Posted February 14, 2018 #110 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I'll put my $17.95 Kirkland jeans on and pull my shirt over it and I dare anyone to tell the difference. Thanks! I'll just hide the "Toughskins" label with my shirt as well. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimples52 Posted February 14, 2018 #113 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Do men and women ever wear dressy shorts and dressier tops in the evening on Celebrity? I mean long shorts, not short shorts. Lol. Not to dinner, but otherwise. We wore them on Norwegian in the casino and bars, etc. in the evening. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there is any prohibition of capris in the MDR even on evening chic nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvcrusn Posted February 15, 2018 #118 Share Posted February 15, 2018 OMG the butt police:') Thanks! I needed that laugh:) You're welcome. I can't take these constant threads about dress codes that have proliferated since the advent of Evening Chic and the endless debates, so I need to inject them with a bit of humor every now and then. Nice to hear it's been appreciated!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclop Posted February 15, 2018 #119 Share Posted February 15, 2018 So Evening Chic for men says: "Pants or designer jeans". This is in contrast to casual nights which says: "Pants or jeans". I have what I would call jeans, but have no idea whether they qualify as designer jeans. What is the difference? PS: I'm a 66 year old grey headed guy. I don't want to be wearing jeans with holes in them or ones that show my boxers. ;) Wear what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mommy Posted February 15, 2018 #121 Share Posted February 15, 2018 My DH will be in tux and I will wear my long dresses on Chic Nights The other nights hubby wears short sleeved silk shirts and pants and I wear cocktail dresses We would not dream of taking jeans on a cruise - no matter how designer they were - maybe its an age thing for us (60)but I know my son in laws would also not do. It may also be a British thing - we do like to dress up and we always dress for dinner in a nice restaurant so the cruise is no different. The only time we very casually dress down is on our villa holidays and even then we opt for me -pretty summer dress and hubby - dress shorts or pants with a shirt if we are eating out. Not sure if this helps the OP but it gives a point of view. I also don't care if others don't dress up - I would always prefer to be over dressed than under.
