Fashionable outfits for every destination
What to wear on a vacation depends entirely on where you are heading and the climate of your destination, plus the activities you wish to pursue once there.
For example, what to wear on a cruise to Alaska will be quite different to picking out what to wear on a cruise from Miami to the warmer islands of the Caribbean.
Again, packing for beach days and shopping excursions will require different outfits, but what is more important is that whatever you choose should be comfortable.
Keep in mind, that there is only that much place in your baggage that your stateroom can accommodate, so consider packing clothing to take you from arrival to departure and every port of call in-between.
By taking some extra time to ponder on what to carry for your vacation, you will be able to dress right on every destination.
For warm destinations
Warm weather clothing tends to take less space in the suitcase, hence packing for a warm destination is relatively easy.
That said, this is a good time to pack some fashionable outfits along with the usual versatile wear of shirts and sundresses that can take you right from the beach to the dinner party table.
Follow a smart casual dress code for dining in speciality restaurants which means packing long pants, jeans, a dress with a stylish top or a button-down jacket.
Consider bringing a folding Panama hat to add that extra dash of panache and one which roll up in a tube in your luggage.
This smart casual code will work for all areas of a cruise ship, including lounges and bars, apart fro other onboard ship’s events.There is no need to wear a tie, unless one wants to.
You can also consider a formal gown or tuxedo for evening chic nights as there is no such thing as being overdressed on a cruise ship.
If you are headed for Northern Europe or Alaska , think about packing high-tech wicking tops and lightweight fleeces.
When cruising to the Galapagos, carry neutral colored light-weight clothing and some sturdy footwear that will also double up as hiking shoes when on rocky ground.
Port-day wardrobe list
When strolling through the different ports if call it is essential to combine flair with function. While a breezy top or polo shirt and maxi dress with comfortable sandals is great for the day, a button-up shirt or cardigan will add to the evening’s elegance.
Beach-day outfits
There is nothing like a beach paradise vacation with an outfit which is not only laid-back but yet lux. Consider swim shorts with a Cuban collar shirt, hat, sunglasses, sandals and a swimsuit under the romper for women.
At dinner, trade the beach sandals for penny loafers that are smart looking. Add a seashell-inspires jewellery plus a sleek looking watch.
Sightseeing outfits
Wear louse breathable outfits to roam from the ruins to the rainforests, but for the evening, carry dainty jewelry and swap your backpack with a chic handbag to create a fashionable but soft look.
