Cruise Outfits

So you’ve booked the cruise, now comes the fun part: the outfits. A cruise is basically a floating holiday with a dress code, which means breezy resort looks for lazy days on deck, something pretty for dinner, and a few show-stoppers for the formal and theme nights. The good news? Cruise dressing is the most fun kind of packing there is. Think flowy maxi dresses, linen sets and cover-ups by day, then satin and sparkle by night. Our cruise outfits have every port, party and sunset covered, sizes 4 to 20.

From sun deck to dinner table

Here’s how a cruise wardrobe breaks down. By day, keep it easy and breezy: a cotton sundress or a linen two-piece with flat sandals and a straw bag for deck days, ports and lunch on the water. Come evening, dinner calls for a step up, a satin slip or a midi dress with heels or wedges, smart-casual to properly dressed depending on the night. Then there are the theme nights, and this is where cruises get fun: a white dress for white night, sequins for formal or New Year’s Eve, a bit of colour and shine for an 80s party. Pack shoes you can actually walk a deck in (wedges beat stilettos here), and one throw-on layer for sunset, when it’s golden hour and slightly breezy all at once.
