I should add that I'm looking for a suitable wardrobe/outfit planning app. Haven't found one that is better than Excel or Outlook Calendar yet.

Probably an unpleasant sight too. (Sorry just couldn’t resist.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could comment with a great add on to this, but HH would probably delete because of lack of decency and decorum not fitting of the Cunard board!😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had an Excell spreadsheet (nothing to do with me) that not only detailed what outfits, shoes, etc. were for each night, but also which case they were to be packed in. So that we could, if the worst happened, cope with the loss of one suitcase. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, I always know what's packed and where as I list it when it goes in but that's for insurance purposes should I ever need to claim. One of the current threads is making me think twice about the level of cover we have! I'm afraid I still can't get my head around such minute detail of what to wear and when but, it seems I might be in the minority. I look in the wardrobes about five mins before dressing for dinner, to decide what to wear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear I'm not making this up! 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what my approach would be called...careless perhaps? 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted October 20, 2023 #59 Share Posted October 20, 2023 We start thinking about what to wear for dinner around 6:00pm every night. Always managed something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always managed something. As early as that? I usually find a sip or two of cabin g+t helps concentrate the mind. In any case, the choice diminishes as the cruise progresses, as I have to choose from what still fits. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I renewed my annual cover this week and have paid extra to increase cover of personal possessions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That nonsense is for children at Hallowe'en. It is certainly not appropriate for a black tie event. The guidance in the U.S. seems to be that you may wear a hat indoors if it is a public space, such as an airport, public transportation, or a hotel, office building, or theater lobby. Even in an elevator, if no lady is present. https://www.gentlemansgazette.com/mens-hat-etiquette-guide/ https://www.levinehat.com/pages/hat-etiquette (etc.) The U.K. guidance - which would rule on a British ship - appears to be different, so forgive those ignorant of British practice. In no case, I agree, would it be appropriate at a black tie event, which is by definition indoors and private. Indeed, there is no specification for "which hat to wear with black tie", only for what you might wear with an evening overcoat to get to the event.
