What to Wear on a Cruise?

By Cynthia Nellis, About.com

Question: What to Wear on a Cruise?

Answer: You might want to check out the cruise literature and find out the acceptable code of dress for evening. If it's semi-formal, you can wear separates and short dresses with dressy accessories. I'm sure, though, that plenty of people will be wearing everything from sequins to denim -- dress codes throw most people off! Cropped pants, bermuda shorts and long, tiered skirts are three stylish, but travel-ready bottoms. For extra chic, top with a wide-brimmed hat and big sunglasses. Another option is to pick up something beautiful in white. Nothing shows off a tropical glow better than white. A pantsuit with a white sweater (crochet, mesh or some other open weave with a white tank top underneath), soft white pants (wider leg) and gold or silver sandals are perfect!
