After years of reading dress code posts from fashion police that you must wear, a suit or a tux men, some kind of jacket and tie at the least, people who wear jackets or tuxes are now the ones who look out of place. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our most recent one from LA, Chic Night was hardly noticeable. Thankfully I couldn’t get into my tux but it does seem a pity we’re losing the glamour. I noticed out of Southampton that some British passengers have not yet been assimilated. 😀 Still when I sail out of Southampton on Celebrity I don’t pack a jacket. I could care less that some passengers think they are embarking on a glamorous vacation. They are welcome to stay in their costume. I will stay in my resort wear.

How many pairs of shoes do you take? One standard suitcase and one standard carryon. Don’t bring formal shoes anymore. Wear one pair, pack a pair and a pair of flips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearney Posted April 16, 2023 #56 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Not sure of a European trip...but for the Caribbean... few wear jackets, fewer suits and even fewer formal wear ...although we have seen a few. Frankly Covid changed the way I pack. It used to be that Day 1 'formal' night, DH would wear. jacket, tie, dress shirt, tie, nice pants and nice shoes... by the second one we were down to dress shirt, tie, nice pants and comfy shoes. With Covid and all the distancing... we dropped the jacket and nice shoes. The way I figure it... what are the odds of ever seeing these people again..and if you do.. are they really going to say... 'oh there goes the guy who didn't wear a jacket'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted April 16, 2023 #58 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I still normally pack a sport’s jacket but no longer wear them since less than 20 percent seem to. I only stopped wearing a tux a little over 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldubs Posted April 16, 2023 #59 Share Posted April 16, 2023 The good thing about Celebrity's Chic night dress suggestions is it clearly says anything from smart casual to formal is fine. I read it as "don't be sloppy". Coats are not required and not in abundance. I would not feel out of place wearing one and I would not feel out of place if I didn't wear one. Enjoy! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
