Black jeans for the dining room, non dressy night

[bluetardis]

Hello all,

would black jeans be ok in the MDR on a non dressy night, with a nice blouse? I would pair the outfit with pumps or ballet flats. There jeans are hole free and designer, just  to clarify they are good quality.

[Lady Arwen]

Yes, you can and also on dressy nights.  

[memoak]

Yes any color jeans are accepted on casual nights. I wear blue jeans all the time

[Shippy]

That is more than appropriate even for dress night.

My husband felt over dressed because he wore a jacket.

Very few men wore ties.

In fact, I do not think it is even called dress night anymore. rather than a 'suggestion'

[Rick&Jeannie]

I rarely wear a tie but quite often will wear blue jeans and a "somewhat" dressy shirt (i.e. button down)

[Bobbiegentry]

There has never been a time when I wore anything but black jeans and a Hawaiian shirt. 
Anytime, anywhere without exception.

Jeans are fine in the DR on ANY night, casual or formal.

Black "jeans" are NOT really jeans ... Jeans are 'blue' denim in various shades of blue - with or without holes, either "earned" by wear, or 'store bought' with designer cuts.  Much like when you say ' I drive a Jeep' - it's a Wrangler by default, not  a spanzy/panzy Cherokee or forbid a Liberty 😎

A button down collar shirt is a casual shirt. They look really silly with a tie so you wearing the shirt with the correct fashion sense.

Thanks...I've always considered it "dressy" for me! 😄

Ones nomenclature is highly inaccurate as a 'non dressy night' does not exist within  Princess Cruise Lines

 

One assumes one is referring to Smart Casual Night. Black jeans at any price do not fulfill this criteria whatever label is adorned.

 

One understands the 'buffet' is a more suitable environment for such clothes

I think you are right.  "One" assumes and understands, and it appears that you are the only ONE!

[Lady Arwen]

OMG One little question has again turned into a “what you can wear in the MDR” discussion.  Can we just let this topic die right here, right now! lol

[Knixuk]

They don’t appear to turn anyone away from the MDR no matter what they are wearing on any night.

 

Just do you and wear what you feel

comfortable in.

Nope, just off the Ruby, and they were allowing shorts in the MDR on formal night. "and that's about all I have to say about that"

Black, blue, brown pink jeans are allowed in the MDR as long as the are not torn or have holes.  They do fulfill the criteria of Smart Casual for many despite what some may proclaim.

I always thought that until our last cruise on the Regal a few weeks ago. 
We were behind a couple in line on formal night, female dressed nicely, male had on t-shirt and shorts. Maitre’d refused to seat him unless he changed. He turned around and loudly said “I’m from the UK, we don’t dress up.” She was seated, I guess he went to change. 🤷‍♀️

How many times can one use the word one in one post?

I've been looking for shorts on formal night in the DR but haven't seen anyone wearing them yet. (not to say it didn't happen)

I'll continue to check each formal night.

Yes, jeans of any color are fine
