Stretch paints?

[misspuss]

We have not been on Princess for many years. Please tell me if you have seen ladies wearing stretch pants on board during the day. I am not asking for permission to do so (I am way too old to need permission to do anything.) I just want to know if it is done. Thank you.

I was on Celebrity in October and saw many women in stretch pants.  I can't imagine this being a problem and plan to wear them on my Princess cruise in March.

I pretty much live in Land's End sport knit pants of various lengths. So, anybody on the same cruise as me would definitely see at least one, if they stipulated that I'm a lady.

If you're talking about leggings or yoga pants, they are very popular with the ladies, from what I've observed.  Some fill them out better than others, of course...😉

[JimmyVWine]

I have seem lots of women wearing stretch pants.  Whether or not they are ladies is unknown to me.  😉

I am currently on board Island Princess for the WC and I can assure you I have seen everything from stretch pants to sweat pants to shorts to tennis or golf type skirts to yoga pants to jeans to slacks to you name it.  So far I have not seen pajama pants or fuzzy slippers but it is early days so I'm not ruling that out yet.

Perfectly fine.  You see a lot!

SeaHag, I am glad you mentioned Lands End which has a big selection of pants of various lengths as you said. I own quite a few of them and I bring them on cruises or any other vacation trips. (Just as a side comment, Lands End also has a fabulous selection of women’s bathing suits. I like how they offer the longer lengths which you don’t always see when shopping in department stores.)

I love those Lands End pants as well, and always have both long and capri length in black and navy with me. While they will never be mistaken for formal wear,  they can be dressed up a bit with a nice top or worn with a sweatshirt or tshirt.

That’s so funny, Buckeye…I have both long and capri length that I bring…and they are navy and black. Two great minds with but a single thought. 😊

That's exactly what I do - black and navy in long and capri. LOL. I tried the shorts, but after they were washed they were too short for my lumpy old legs. The crops are longer than I like, so it's always capris and long ones for me.

You had me at "paints"- LOL in the title of your post. Anyway, I love my leggings.

I wear a lot of stretch pants, paired with a nice blouse or tunic and high boots. So comfortable! Or tennis shoes and a tshirt for day wear. Very versatile and take up very little room in the suitcase. I always bring them cruising.

EXACTLY my thoughts as well!!  I ♥️ stretch pants!!  WM actually has some very good ones for cheap.  We sail this Sunday, and I already have all of mine washed & ready to go!!

Not just ladies anymore.  At our gym they seem pretty popular with the guys too.

Men call them "compression tights" for improving athletic performance.  😉

Thanks for the recommendation.  I love Lands End Starfish slim leg pants, but they don't make them in capri length.  I'll try the sport knit capris.

I wear yoga pants, leggings  or shorts onboard.

 

Even my MDR pants are stretchy. I used to wear them to the office when I worked in the office.

I was on a Princess cruise (don't remember which one) and I asked the maître'd what was accepted for female adult pax.  He told me that women's fashion is basically in the eye of the beholder and he was not able to question women on what they wear.  So ladies wear what you want and call it fashionable.

Smart man. 😉

You're likely aware of this board already, but Cruise Fashions and Beauty has lots of interesting (to me, anyway) threads. They're not Princess-specific but I find them informative.

hmmm, been here a few years, but not aware of this board. Tells you how much I care about what I wear on vacation. 🙂

Another vote for leggings here. I like to wear them occasionally to the MDR on all my cruises. As other posters have said, they can be dressed up with a nice tunic, jewelry and even a scarf. If you get a nice thick pair that fits (yes @hunt182644they DO come in sizes), you can disguise any "bumpy bits" quite nicely. Many of them now come with pockets (yay!). They are a godsend for long plane rides!

These are cute! I just bought a pair like this from the gap but in grey.
