Cruisewear for men: What guys should pack for a cruise

Perhaps one of the most understated joys of cruising is that you only have to unpack once. The challenge lies in what to pack in the first place. While some may say that guys have it easier than women, choosing the right cruisewear for men can be just as tricky.

No matter the destination, men will need certain clothing essentials for a cruise that they might not need for other vacations. This can range from attire for formal or themed nights to the right outfits for a range of activities in port.

If you're wondering exactly what you need to wear on a cruise — or need to assist your husband, father, son, partner or male friend — we've got you covered with helpful specifics on the perfect cruisewear for men. Read on to discover what guys should pack for their next cruise.

What should men wear during the day on a cruise?

Most cruises are casual getaways during the day. Pack and dress for the kind of activities you'll enjoy on board, whether it's lounging at the pool (a rash guard, swim trunks, flip-flops and a hat), sweating it out in the gym (athleticwear and sneakers) or hanging out with a book or card game in a lounge (shorts or jeans and a comfortable top).

Daytime dress can be a bit more elevated on Europe cruises, as well as ships with older or wealthier clientele. This more refined style can best be described as resort casual, where you'll find mostly polos and collared shirts during the day. Linen or khaki pants or Bermuda shorts complete the look.

Don't forget to pack appropriate clothing for activities in port. You'll want to dress in layers, bring a hat for sun protection, a jacket or vest for cool mornings or windy afternoons, and wear sturdy shoes for hikes or sneakers for exploring a town. Tote around beach flip-flops for a quick change if you're mixing up beach time with excursions that require more walking.

What's acceptable attire for men for dinner on casual evenings?

Across all cruise lines, table service dinners will always feel more elevated, often the only time of day when a dress code is clearly communicated. That said, casual evenings have become more casual, especially on the big-ship lines – which can be a relief to men who don't want to schlep their workweek suits on vacation with them.

As a general guideline, if you're at a table service restaurant for dinner (whether it be the main dining room or a specialty restaurant on board), men should dress in a collared shirt and long pants. Jeans tend to be acceptable on casual evenings, as long as they're not riddled with holes, and on some lines, like always-relaxed Norwegian Cruise Line, a nice T-shirt is fine. (A fitted T-shirt with a jacket over it is never a problem.)

What you can't wear, according to the dinner dress code on most lines, are bathing suits, cutoff jeans, sleeveless shirts and baseball hats.

Shorts are an ambiguous, often frowned upon, option for evening attire. Most dress codes won't specifically prohibit shorts, leaving it up to the individual. A pair of chino, pleated or linen shorts can suffice for a more refined look, especially when paired with a collared shirt. Cutoffs, denim, cargo shorts and sports shorts at any seated, table service dinner are a no-go.

As for shoes, sneakers can be permissible on nonformal nights, but footwear like beach flip-flops are often prohibited.

While teens should emulate the grown-ups for dinnerwear, most cruise lines don't fuss about the dress code for younger boys. If you can't get your kid into a polo shirt and khakis, a clean shirt and nonathletic shorts will suffice.

If you'd rather spend your evening in gym shorts and flip-flops, the buffet and other fast casual or counter-service venues will have more relaxed dress codes at night. Or, you can order room service and enjoy dinner in your bathrobe.

Are formal nights still a thing? Will I need to bring a tuxedo?

Most major cruise lines hold formal nights, usually twice on a weeklong sailing. These days, the theme is more "dress your best" or "elegant" than strictly formal. Even on big-ship cruise lines, guests find it fun to don a more upscale look, pose for a professional photo shoot and enjoy dinner, drinks and perhaps a show in style.

Formal nights on most lines don't mean black tie. On casual lines, such as Carnival and Royal Caribbean, men can get away with a button-down, long-sleeve shirt, khakis, nice shoes and no tie. On more upscale lines, guys should pack a suit or at least a sports coat and slacks. Ties are usually optional.

When in doubt, pack a jacket you can always take off if no one else is wearing one.

Some cruise lines, however, skew a bit fancier. Cunard features black-tie galas on its sailings that are often themed (think Roaring '20s and Masquerade Ball). P&O Cruises typically has signature black-tie evenings, and many smaller luxury lines (including Silversea, Seabourn and Regent) will host black-tie evenings throughout extended sailings.

While full tuxedo regalia on black-tie evenings is encouraged (satin lapel, pocket trim, satin side stripe down the leg of the trousers), a dark suit and necktie pass muster.

Also, culturally appropriate formal attire is always an option, such as Scottish kilt suits or military dress uniforms.

If you're traveling with family, boys and teenagers are required to dress in accordance with the guidelines for dining at table service restaurants on formal nights as well, but the stakes are lower. The minimum requirement for kids is nice slacks and a collared shirt. Teens should opt for dress shoes, but younger boys can get away with sneakers.

If you're taking family photos, tuxedos, suits, blazers and ties are not required but add flare and personality to a look. Get creative with kids who prefer comfort; put babies in a tuxedo-print onesie and young boys in an adorable sweater vest on formal evenings.

On some lines, such as Norwegian Cruise Line , elegant night is always optional.

Do guys need to dress up on theme nights?

Many cruise lines will have themed evenings or parties where you might want to dress the part. If you're attending a themed cruise (such as a gay cruise or music cruise ), be prepared for costume parties on multiple nights.

Popular theme nights are wide-ranging, though the most recurring are tropical parties (Hawaiian shirts encouraged), '80s nights and white nights (all-white attire).

Disney Cruise Line passengers regularly dress up for its hallmark Pirate Night. Virgin Voyages ' Scarlet Night encourages guests to don red attire.

Themed attire on theme nights is not required for dining and is opt-in fun. If you're traveling with a group, organizing matching costumes or outfits can enhance the fun and make for great vacation photos. Check with your cruise line about which theme nights you should expect.

What are the best cruise clothing and accessories for men?

Need to add a few new pieces to your wardrobe before your cruise vacation? Here are our picks of cruisewear staples for men.

A classic Hawaiian shirt

If you're sailing on a tropical itinerary, you're going to want to make sure you pack at least one Hawaiian floral shirt. The Columbia Men's Tamiami Short-sleeve Shirt is a top choice, with SPF 40 sun protection and nice ventilation.

A shirt for hot days in port

At sea, you've got the benefit of the ocean breezes, but tropical ports can get sweltering hot, especially in the summer months. Opt for the Vineyard Vines Men's Destin Stripe Sankaty Performance Polo for its moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric, along with its SPF 30 sun protection.

A pair of travel pants

The best pair of travel pants balance comfort and function and are acceptable on board and in port. The 33,000ft Men's Waterproof Pants are surprisingly comfortable, breathable and have a nice flexible give to them. They also feature a commendable 10,000mm waterproof rating, great for coverage if you get stuck exploring in the rain.

A pair of sandals for most occasions

From the pool deck to the streets of a port, the right pair of sandals signify vacation. The sophisticated yet practical Ecco Men's Flowt Luxe Slide Sandals are an ideal match for days spent walking, yet have an elegant design that can fit well into a smart, casual dinner on board. If the dinner dress code has a strict no-sandals policy, the Cole Haan Men's 2.Zerogrand Penny Loafers are a great nautical alternative.

The ideal layer for windy nights on deck

When you're out at sea it can get windy, especially at night. Pack The North Face Men's Cyclone Windbreaker Jacket , which features a compact, lightweight and durable design. The jacket is windproof, water-repellent and has UPF 40+.

Water shoes to protect your feet

If you're planning for any water-based adventures on your cruise, a high-quality pair of water shoes will help protect your feet. Merrell Men's Wildwood Aerosport Water Shoes are light, comfortable and breathable. They also offer great traction on slippery rocks, shell-ridden beaches and the ship's decks.

The best men's cruise travel accessories

Accessory storage: Keep your neckties crisp with this sturdy case for storage and travel. Or, fit all your formal night accouterments in this men's accessories storage and travel case .
A compact on-the-go bag: The Bellroy Mini Sling Bag is great for roving both the ship and port with enough room to store your cellphone, ship pass and a few essentials such as lip balm, sunscreen and hand sanitizer.
Shoe maintenance: These quality shoe bags keep your street and deck-worn shoes separate from your clothes. SneakErasers are a great travel accessory to buff out any scuff marks you may pick up on your journey.
Staying hydrated: A reusable water bottle is essential on a cruise, especially while in port. The Hydro Flask water bottle is a favorite for its durable design and temperature retention. Cruise lines allow reusable bottles, though they must be empty when boarding.
Express yourself: Stretch beyond your normal style — you're on a ship! Cruise life gives you the freedom to add some character and flair to your look, so pack some fun accessories like these nautical cuff links , colorful lapel pins or a flashy hat .

Bottom line

It's not "anything goes," but you'll find more flexibility than ever when it comes to cruise line dress codes. When in doubt, it's better to be overdressed than underdressed, especially when arriving for a seated dinner. Better to pack the tie and jacket and ditch them if no one else is wearing them than to risk awkward conversations with the crew or side-eye from other diners if you're not in compliance with the attire policy.

And if casual is the only way you wish to dress on vacation, know you can always go to the buffet or order room service, and you won't go hungry for want of khakis and a button-down shirt.

Caribbean Cruise Outfits For Men & Detailed Packing List

This men’s cruise packing guide includes ideas for cruise outfits for men that will help guide you in what to pack and wear on your trip.

Packing for a cruise can be such a struggle. On cruises, you will easily wear three outfits a day which makes choosing what to bring even more difficult.

As I mentioned, it’s easy to wear three outfits each day on a cruise. On a typical port day, I’ll wear a casual outfit for exploring, swimwear for the pool, then a nicer outfit for dinner. The trick is packing items that you can wear for multiple occasions.

As a women, I always pack my own bag for a cruise vacation, but end up helping my boyfriend pack as well. After taking 5 cruises together, I have cruise wear for men down to a science.

Keep reading for this simple guide to cruise outfits for men to learn what to wear when and other packing tips. Learn the best mens cruise outfits for every cruising occasion from the pool to formal dining room.

Some links on this blog are affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you if you make a purchase through them. All opinions are my own, and I only recommend products and services I personally use and believe in. Thanks for your support!

Packing for a Cruise

Before you decide what to pack, let’s talk about how to pack it. I recommend bringing one checked luggage per person and one backpack carry on.

When you arrive at the embarkation terminal, you will pass off your checked luggage to be delivered directly to your stateroom. From when you board the ship until staterooms are open (usually a few hours), you will only have access to what’s in your carry on.

I recommend keeping the following items in your carry on, then packing the rest in your suitcase.

Wallet/Passport/Documents
Simple Outfit for Dinner (in case your luggage isn’t delivered in time)

Throughout this guide you will notice some items are included in multiple collages. This is intentional to show that versatile items can be worn throughout the day by pairing them with different clothes.

For example, you can wear a button down shirt to dinner with khakis and loafers then around port with shorts and sandals. Packing versatile clothing items is the best way to fit all you cruise clothing items in one checked bag.

Port Day Outfits for Men

During the day in port, you will likely be doing any of the following three activities: exploring the local town, sightseeing the port, or spending time at the beach. For either of the first two, focus on comfortable footwear for walking and a casual, but nice looking outfit.

For a beach day or water excursion, I love these swim trunks because they look like shorts. Throw on a shirt and you can walk around port or town before visiting the beach.

Cruise Pool Fashion for Men

For the pool, don’t overthink it! Bring at least two swimsuits so you can always have a dry one. A good, comfortable pair of sandals can be worn to the pool and port. Finally, don’t forget sunglasses and a hat to protect yourself from the intense Caribbean sun.

Shop this collage of men’s swimwear

Dinner Outfit Ideas for a Cruise

On a cruise, there will be formal nights and casual nights. Royal Caribbean and other cruise lines will outline the attire for dinner each night in your cruise compass. For a typical 7-night cruise, there are typically two formal nights and five casual nights.

On a casual night, a wide variety of outfits are appropriate. Some clothing items to avoid are tank tops, swimwear, hats, and sports gear.

The above collage shows a range of outfits to wear to dinner on a cruise. A nicer outfit is a button down shirt, slacks, and dress shoes. On the more casual end, sandals, shorts, and a collared shirt is also appropriate.

What to Wear to Formal Night for Men

When packing for a cruise, formal night is often what brings people the most stress. If formal night does not sound appealing to you, you can easily avoid the main dining room on these nights.

I personally love formal night! Its fun to dress a little fancy and experience a nice dinner. As with casual dinners on board, you will see a wide variety of outfits on formal night. Some people will be in tuxedos and others in shorts.

While you technically won’t be turned away for casual clothes, I recommend dressing up a bit. On the casual end, I recommend slacks and a collared shirt with dress shoes. On the fancier end, a suit is always a great decision.

Cruise Shirts

On boarding day of a cruise, you are guaranteed to see groups of friend and families wearing matching cruise shirts. If I’m being honest, these shirts tend to be a bit tacky, but are a great way to kick-off a group cruise.

In the above collage, I share some cruising shirts and sweatshirts that are actually cute. They are great to wear on the first day of a cruise, matching with your travel party, or as a gift for someone heading on a cruise.

Shop these cruise shirts and sweatshirts

Other Cruise Essentials

In addition to all the outfit ideas shared above, don’t forget to pack these cruise essentials :

Sunscreen – The sun is intense, so protect yourself. Supergoop is my favorite for a lightweight formula and high SPF. Portable charger – There’s nothing worse than running out of battery when you are relying on your phone for navigation and photos. This portable charger with built in cords will help with that! Hat – A hat is another great way to protect yourself from the sun or hide crazy beach hair. Bug spray – Bug spray is a great item to have on hand for any jungle excursions. Good book – Don’t forget a book for the plane and poolside. People You Meet on Vacation is one of my favorite travel-inspired books that is an easy-read. Imodium – In case you have any stomach issues, you will thank yourself for having this on hand. Reusable water bottle – Bring a reusable water bottle to fill up on board to take with you on port days. Its great to have a reliable source of water throughout the day. Waterproof phone case – Pack a waterproof phone case so you can safely take photos on or in the water. Towel Clips – The pool deck gets very windy on sea days. These towel clips will keep your towel from blowing away.

Cruise Packing List for Men for a 7 day cruise

1 pair of dress shoes
1 pair of casual sneakers
1 pair of flip flops
5 short sleeve collared shirts
2 long sleeve dress shirts
4 pairs casual shorts
2 pairs slacks or dress pants
4 swimsuits

Summary of the best mens cruise outfits and packing list

To summarize mens cruise wear in a few words, it’s all about being comfortable, tropical, and appropriate for every occasion. Your suitcase should be full of shorts, Hawaiian shirts, sandals, and swimwear.

While there are no strict dress codes on cruises like there used to be, there are still a few occasions to dress up. For more dinners, smart casual is the way to go with a collared shirt or polo shirts being the perfect thing to wear. On formal night, step it up a bit with a long sleeve dress shirt and pants.

Remember, clothes to wear on a cruise are meant to enhance your experience. This means dressing for the occasion for also wearing what’s comfortable.

Yes, it is ok to wear jeans on a cruise. In fact, they are a great thing to wear to dinner on a non-formal night. For formal night, jeans are too casual to adhere to the dress code.

There is no dress code on a cruise outside of the dining room and restaurants. The dress code for the dining room varies each night depending on the theme. On casual nights, resort wear such as a collared shirt and shorts are appropriate. For formal night, wear long pants and a long sleeve collared shirt. You can also wear a suit to be on the dressier side. On any night, swimwear is prohibited in the dining room.

Some people get dressed up on cruises and others prefer to stay casual. If you don’t want to dress up, simply avoid the dining room on formal night. Other people enjoy dressing up and will wear a suit or tux on formal nights.

No, you do not need a suit on a cruise. Some people will wear a suit on formal night but it is not required buy the dress code.

Best Cruise Wear for Men (Outfits + Tips)

Are you looking for the best cruise wear for men? In this guide we give you plenty of inspiration for the best men’s cruise wear outfits alongside our tips for how to pack for a cruise for men.

Important Note : This post may contain affiliate links which means if you click through and make a purchase I will make a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Whenever we put together a cruise packing list, we recommend packing light and using a cruise capsule wardrobe where possible.

In this guide we will give you an overview of the best things to pack for a cruise for men without overpacking no matter the destination. However if you would like more regionally specific cruise packing lists then do check out the below posts:

Considerations for What to Wear on cruise for men

For those of you who are first time cruisers it it worth pointing out that cruise cabin staterooms are not renowned for being large. You want to not overpack so your luggage and packing will take up less space in your cabin.

One way of ensuring you pack lightly for a cruise is to pack a cruise capsule wardrobe. We like to use either the sudoku packing method or the 54321 packing technique to put together our men’s cruise capsule wardrobes.

Click here for what we think men’s travel essentials are.

Cruise Line

The cruise line you are traveling on will greatly influence the essential items on your men’s cruise packing list.

For instance, Cunard is renowned for being a much more formal line, and therefore you will see people wearing more formal and smart casual attire in the dining room.

Whereas, Norwegian Cruise Line on the other hand operates free style dining. This means that you are not set to a set dining room time and there are not formal nights or formal dinner to worry about.

Some cruises such as Disney also run theme nights, which require specific packing items.

Be sure to check out our cruise line specific dress code posts for information.

Carnival Dress Code
Celebrity Dress Code
Cunard Dress code
Norwegian Cruise Line Dress Code
Royal Caribbean Dress Code

Cruise Itinerary Length

The length of your cruise ship itinerary will greatly impact your packing depending on whether there are laundry facilities on your ship, and whether you are happy to do laundry on your cruise vacation.

We have packing lists for specific cruise lengths below to help guide you on the quantities you need to pack.

4 day cruise packing list
5 day cruise packing list
7 day cruise packing list
14 day cruise packing list

Formal Nights

As I mentioned above cruise formal nights take place in the main dining room but it depends on the length of your cruise and the line you are sailing with as to how many you can expect.

Although some lines still recommend formalwear such as black tie tuxedos for formal nights, many places now will see men wearing chinos and a sports jacket instead.

If you have 2 or more formal nights we recommend packing just one jacket and trousers and using different button-down shirts and ties to style them differently.

Destination/

Whether you are traveling on warm weather cruises such as to the Caribbean, Mexico, French Polynesia or Fiji or a cold weather cruise i.e. Alaska, Iceland or the Baltics will affect how many layers you need.

However we always recommend packing a top layer for on the cruise ship where the air conditioning can be very strong.

Shore Excursions

The type of shore excursion you plan on doing will also affect the type of clothes you will need to pack. If you plan to do a lot of snorkelling and water activities then you will need more swimwear and snorkeling equipment with you.

Whereas if you are traveling to just cities, then comfortable walking shoes will need to be top of your list.

How to Put Together a Men’s Cruise Capsule wardrobe

Now capsule wardrobes are great not only for cruises but for other types of travel and for those who want to minimise their wardrobe more generally.

As such there are a few main capsule wardrobe rules or principles that you should try to abide by when putting together your cruise capsule wardrobe

The main rules for putting together a cruise capsule wardrobe are:

Only take beloved items

By this I mean only take items that you are absolutely 100% sure that you want to wear.

If you don’t wear it at home it is unlikely it will be come a go to item on a cruise ship.

Everything must work in more than one outfit

Don’t pack anything that can only be worn in one way.

Color schemes

Now this isn’t necessary in all capsule wardrobes but picking a color pallete so that everything complements each other is a great idea.

So now we have discussed why you should pack a capsule wardrobe and the basics about packing capsule rules we will turn our attention to how to put together a cruise capsule wardrobe and the best men’s wear for cruises.

In this section of the guide we will look at the best cruise wear for men, and put together some men’s cruise outfit ideas for your to give you inspiration for what to wear as a man on a cruise.

Note : although this aims to be a universal guide for the best cruise wear for men we have indicated the optional items which are weather dependent.

Casual Cruise Outfits for Men

MAn in shorts and shirt on a cruise ship

For a week’s cruise you will likely need around 3-4 casual outfits. These can be used on the day on the ship both on port days and sea days and can also be used on shore excursions and days in port.

Therefore we recommend packing the following items as part of your men’s cruise capsule wardrobe.

No matter the destination you are traveling to a t shirt is a great pick for a man on a cruise. These work no matter the destination and can be used in port and on shore excursions as well as on the cruise ship during the day.

Also if you have a casual night in the main dining room, then t shirts will be appropraite attite.

And plain smart t shirts or even polo shirts will work on smart casual nights in the main dining room. Note: in the buffet restaurant on cruise ships you can wear t shirts for both lunch and dinner any day of your cruise.

Click here to shop men’s t shirts on Amazon

If you decide to wear tank tops these will not be permitted in the main dining room at night.

Note : I often find that people tend to have a bit more humor on a cruise ship than they do on land. Therefore you will often find people especially men wearing comedy cruise related t shirts.

Click cruise pun shirts here .

Shorts are an essential on any hot weather cruise. If you plan on heading to any beaches or sticking poolside, then we recommend packing quick dry shorts.

It can be hard to dry shorts in humid conditions so we recommend quick dry ones in the Caribbean and Mexico etc.

Click here to shop quick dry shorts for men.

However it is also worth bringing smarter chino shorts or classic fit shorts with you like the ones below for in European cities for instance, and for using on casual nights on the cruise ship.

If you are traveling to Europe we also recommend avoiding cargo shorts where possible. This is because they will likely mark you as a tourist.

Click here to shop smart cruise shorts for men.

Even if you are traveling to a cold weather destination, such as going on a Baltic or an Alaskan cruise we recommend taking swimwear with you.

That is because even if the swimming pools aren’t heated (although many are heated on Alaskan cruises) , there are still lots of hot tubs for you to enjoy.

The only exception to this may be if you are traveling on a river cruise in Europe as most but not all of these have hot tubs. It is worth checking before travel so you know what to pack.

Also the good thing about cruises is that you will see all sorts of swimwear. On my cruises from America you will find most men wear swimming trunks. However on cruises with more European passengers you will also find that some men wear speedos.

Click here to shop men’s swimwear for cruises.

Rash Vest (optional)

A rash vest is an optional for most but is something that my husband always has on his cruise packing list. He likes to wear it out on the pool deck but I know not all men do.

However if you are traveling to a location where you plan to snorkel and do water sports it is good to have as extra protection from the sun.

Click here to shop men’s rash vests.

Sun hat (optional)

Only required if you plan to go on hot weather cruises. When I have cruised in the Caribbean the most common type of hat I see being worn by men is a baseball cap.

Required on cruises no matter the destination in my opinion.

Smart Casual Men’s Cruise Wear for Men

Man dress in smart casual men's cruise outfit with Alaska in background

Smart casual will be what you see most men wearing on a cruise at night. The best smart casual cruise wear for men in our opinion are:

Polo Shirts

If you don’t like wearing shirts then polo shirts are a great compromise for smart casual wear on cruises.

Click here to buy polo shirts.

Shirt (long or short-sleeve shirts)

Shirts both long and short sleeve will commonly be seen in the restuarants on cruise ships.

In hot weather destinations you tend to see more short sleeve shirts however it is worth noting that the air conditioning in the dining rooms can make you feel chilly.

On top of regular shirts you will also see many men wearing on cruise ships is

Hawaiian shirts

Hawaiian shirts are very popular on hot weather cruises, not just on a Hawaiian cruise.

Click here to shop Hawaiian shirts for cruises

Note : on many cruises shorts are not allowed in the main dining room so even on a hot weather cruise you will need a longer length pant if you want to eat in a main dining room or a specialty restaurant.

Chinos are a great choice for smart casual cruise wear for men, and can also be used as part of a formal cruise outfit on most cruise lines.

Linen pants are another great pick for men’s smart casual cruise outfits.

Click here to shop men’s chinos.

Smart Jeans

We are most commonly asked “Are jeans OK on a cruise?” And on most cruise lines smart jeans are acceptable for the main dining room.

However if you are not allowed jeans in the main dining room on your cruise it is still worth packing jeans for cooler days.

Reversible Belt

To ensure you have a belt for various colored chinos, shorts and jeans we recommend packing a reversible belt. This way you will only need one belt with you.

Click here to shop reversible belts.

Formal Cruise Wear for Men

Formal nights are not as common as they once were on cruises and the formal night dress codes are not as strict anymore.

It is worth checking your cruise lines policy regarding formal attire before packing but generally speaking the below will meet most (but not all) cruise formal night dress codes.

Note : Norwegian Cruise Line does not have formal lines and Cunard still tends to be the most formal.

Sports Jacket

My husband tends to find a sports jacket the perfect cruise outfit for formal nights.

Other good jacket choices for cruise formal nights include linen jackets. If you are worried about traveling with linen because of creases check out this post.

Click here to shop sports jackets.

As we mentioned above. These transition from smart casual to formal outfits depending on how you style them.

Tie (optional)

My husband hates wearing a tie, and a tie is not required on most cruises. Therefore it really depends on whether or not you wear ties as to whether you should pack one.

Tuxedo and dress shirt (optional)

A tuxedo and dress shirt shirt are really optional on most cruise lines (check your cruise line before travel). Therefore you would only need to pack this on a few cruise lines. However if you want to wear one then feel free to pack one.

Best men’s shoes for cruises

When I create any of my packing lists I recommend trying to limit the number of shoes you pack to 2 -3 pairs.

No matter where you are traveling you should pack:

These work no matter the destination you are traveling to whether cities, beaches or countryside. Great sneaker brands for cruises are Hoka and All Birds.

Depending on the time of year and destination you are traveling to you may need to buy a pair that has some water resistant qualities or that are light weight to cope with the heat.

Smarter Shoes

Sneakers often allowed in main dining rooms so you will need smarter shoes or dress shoes for smart casual evenings or formal nights on cruise ships.

Although I don’t recommend wearing these for walking around European cities, they are an essental on cruises for the pool deck and on beach excursions.

Hiking Shoes (optional)

These will only be required if you are doing lots of walking on excursions.

Water shoes (optional)

Only required if you plan on doing excursions involving snorkelling or water sports.

Cruise Wear for Men

I love shopping for my husband’s clothes—it’s more fun and easier than shopping for myself, which he appreciates given his hectic schedule. Right before our trips, shopping for cruise clothes is an enjoyable ritual for him, often adding new items to his wardrobe before we go.

StitchFix has been a game-changer, creating a versatile capsule wardrobe for various occasions. Despite using the service, we still enjoy picking up additional pieces to complete his cruise attire because dressing for work isn’t the same as dressing for a cruise! He’s my playful “StitchFix model.”

Cruise Clothes for Men for Daytime Activities

For casual daytime activities like poolside relaxation or ship exploration, choose comfy and breathable options: shorts, tees, polos, sandals, or sneakers.
Opt for athletic wear, such as shorts and a moisture-wicking tee, for activities like rock climbing or zip-lining.
Dress comfortably and respectfully for port visits, adjusting to the destination. In the Caribbean, wear swimwear and light clothing. In the Mediterranean, opt for pants or jeans with a polo shirt.
For visiting European churches, cover your knees and shoulders—no shorts or tank tops.
In hot weather, lighter colors keep you cool under the sun.
Always check the dress code for restaurants or lounges you plan to visit during the day.

T-shirts are a must-have in your cruise clothes for men’s ensembles—versatile, comfortable, and suitable for any occasion. Pack 4-5, including basic plain ones and those with fun graphics, but avoid anything offensive. Consider bringing shirts that are dry-quick

They pair well with swimwear, shorts, jeans, khakis, and linen pants. For a dressier dinner look, a high-quality t-shirt can be combined with a button-down shirt, blazer, or jacket for a stylish vibe.

Include 1-2 plain dark-colored T-shirts for versatility. My brother opts for multi-pack cotton shirts, keeping things easy and functional for his travels—it works for him.

Fun Cruise T-Shirts for Men

For a hot and sunny destination, include shorts in your men’s cruise wardrobe—they’re comfortable, practical, and ideal for staying cool in the heat.

When selecting shorts, consider the length and fit. Cargo or quick-drying shorts offer a casual look for a day out in port, while linen or golf shorts can be dressed up for a more formal appearance.

Create a laid-back daytime look by pairing your shorts with a comfortable t-shirt or polo shirt. For a chic appearance, dress them up with a button-down shirt.

My husband loves his cargo shorts for their comfort and casual style, plus the convenient pockets for small items. Quick-drying shorts are another favorite—they can double as swimwear if the occasion arises. You never know!

Sea days revolve around the lido deck and pool, while port days are for beach and water activities if in the Caribbean. Pack swimwear even for an Alaskan cruise —you might find a hot tub and indoor pool or be surprised by warm sunny days.

By the pool, my husband goes for swim shorts and a T-shirt. Beach-hopping in the Caribbean means swim shorts and an SPF swim tee for swimming and sunbathing. His favorite is an Amazon Essentials Swim Tee , that we’ve purchased him in multiple colors, and they’ve lasted for years.

Comfortable Footwear

Comfortable footwear is a crucial part of your cruise wardrobe, considering the amount of walking around the cruise ship and in port.

Flip-flops are great for pool or beach days. Just be mindful of walking in them. Crocs and Keens are popular choices among cruisers.

Certain sneakers may be acceptable for dinner on non-formal nights in the main dining room. My husband vouches for the Adidas Cloudfoam sneakers as the most comfortable ever, and I had to get my own pair—now I’m obsessed!

Pack a hat to shield your head and face from the sun, and consider one that covers your neck to prevent sunburn (learned this the hard way once—it wasn’t pretty).

Don’t forget to slather on sunscreen for added protection.

Men’s Cruise Outfits for Evening Activities

We suggest more than just a swimsuit as evening approaches, even in a freestyle setting.
For men’s cruise attire, my husband’s decades-old advice stands strong: jeans and a polo shirt. It’s collared, casual yet not too formal—a practical and timeless choice for ship activities.
On casual nights, go for a sharp pair of jeans or pants, a basic top, and some dressy sneakers or shoes. Aim for smart casual, and you’re good to go.

Jeans and Pants

Opt for breathable cotton jeans and wrinkle-resistant chinos for cruise ship evenings. Jeans are versatile for multiple wear, while chinos can be dressed up or down—pair them with a button-down and blazer for a chic night.

My husband swears by his travel pants—super comfy and suitable for various occasions. They’ve become a staple in his cruise attire.

Polos and Button-Down Shirts

Level up from a t-shirt with a polo or button-down shirt—it instantly elevates your outfit.

With various fits, colors, and fabrics available, opt for breathable and comfortable materials to avoid feeling itchy and sweaty. Choosing a collared shirt doesn’t mean you should be ready to take it off at any moment.

A linen button-down is a nice piece to add to your men’s cruise wear, as it’s light to wear, and you don’t have to worry about it being overly wrinkled.

Since you’re on a cruise vacation, bring 1-2 Hawaiian shirts that scream vacation time.

Bring a hoodie, light jacket, or rain jacket for added comfort. Whether cruising the Caribbean or Mexican Riviera, nights on the ship can get chilly and windy outside. Always be prepared for unexpected rain.

Men’s Formal Chic Night Cruise Wear

What do men wear on cruises for formal nights?

The days of formal nights when men used to dress up in tuxedos no longer exist, at least not on mainstream cruise lines. The guidelines have been relaxed, and it’s now more of a night where they ask that you dress up – a chic night. You have to be slightly more polished than usual.

You can mix and match for chic nights with these ideas:

A pair of chinos, a long-sleeved or short-sleeved button-down collared shirt, a belt, nice shoes, and an optional tie.
A dressy sweater , chinos, belt, and nice shoes.
A blazer, sportscoat , or nice button-down cardigan sweater with chinos, a button-down or polo shirt, and nice shoes.
A blazer or a sportscoat is an article of clothing that every man should have in their closet. It’s one item that easily transforms your casual look into a dressier one.
A suit with a button-down collared shirt, belt, nice shoes, and an optional tie.
On some cruises, a classic pair of jeans can pass as chic; make sure they are not distressed. Darker colored jeans work best.

Dressy Sweater, Blazer or Sports Coat

A dressy sweater, blazer, or sports coat goes well with a nice pair of pants for a chic night.

Paired with Chinos, Dress Pants, or Dark Jeans

A pair of chinos or dressy pants, and sometimes, even a pair of nice dark jeans, will work well for a chic night. Just pair it with a nice shirt, blazer, or a dressy sweater (if the jacket is required). You don’t want to wear jeans if it’s a full-on formal night on the cruise.

Button Downs or Polo Shirts

Button-downs can be as dressy and as casual as you want them to be. They are versatile and can be worn more than once during the cruise. You are set for a chic night once you pair this with a blazer and nice pants.

The Optional Suit

A nice suit covers you well for a formal or chic night. It’s an option if you want to pack it with you. Wear it with a tie, button down, or no tie, and even a polo shirt.

Dress Shoes

Pack dress shoes or even dressy sneakers to complete your men’s cruise outfits for chic or elegant evening nights on the cruise.

While adding another pair of shoes for limited wear can be frustrating, the enjoyment of dining at main and specialty restaurants makes it worthwhile. With NCL, there’s no need to worry about specific shoes for evening chic.

Accessories

Nice Belt : Start with a stylish belt as a chic accessory.
Classic Watch: Add a classic watch for a touch of sophistication.
Subtle Cufflinks: Consider subtle cufflinks to enhance the refined look.
Sophisticated Pocket Square: Complete the ensemble with a sophisticated pocket square.
A tie: Include a tie to elevate the outfit.
Coordinate Colors and Style: Ensure accessories complement your outfit’s overall color scheme and style for a polished appearance.

Tips for Packing Men’s Cruise Wardrobe Efficiently

Pack versatile pieces in complementary colors that can be mixed and matched to create different outfits. You want to create a capsule wardrobe. This can help you save space in your luggage and ensure that you have enough clothing options without overpacking.
Learn to roll or fold your clothes to save space.
Buy compression packing cubes .
Check the weather forecast for your itinerary and pack accordingly. Bring lightweight clothing for warmer climates and layering pieces for cooler temperatures.
Bring comfortable shoes for walking and exploring in port and dress shoes for formal dining nights.
Don’t forget swimwear (we have done this): Pack swim trunks or board shorts for pool and beach days.
Pack accessories: belt, ties, watch…etc.
Pack clothing that meets the dress code for each venue on board, including casual, smart casual, and formal attire.
Bring laundry detergent sheets to wash some items yourself in the cabin and consider your other options: Do they have laundry on the ship? (Princess, Carnival, and Disney cruise ships sometimes do) Are there mid-week specials for laundry? Sometimes, the cruise has a special promotion.
Don’t forget to add wrinkle-release spray to your packing list. It will come in handy.

Do you have to dress up every night on a cruise?

Dressing up every night on a cruise isn’t necessary. Most cruise lines have varying dress codes, allowing casual attire during the day and a more casual or “smart casual” look in the evening. Save the swim trunks for the daytime and wear nice pants at night.

Do you bring a suit on a cruise?

Wear casual daytime cruise attire for buffet dinner—shorts and a t-shirt. If dining in the main or specialty restaurant, switch to long pants and a nice shirt based on the dress code policy.

Are jeans okay on a cruise?

YES. You can wear jeans on a cruise. We suggest leaning towards darker-colored jeans with no rips or holes in them.

Can I wear shorts to dinner on a cruise?

Men’s shorts are typically not permitted in main dining or specialty restaurants. If worn, you may be turned away and asked to change. Some exceptions may apply, such as on the first or last day of the cruise.

Is it okay if men wear Speedo on a cruise ship pool?

The acceptability of men wearing Speedos in a cruise ship pool depends on the specific cruise line’s dress code and policies. Some may restrict revealing swimwear, while others have more relaxed rules. If allowed, be mindful of fellow passengers, especially around children, and respect their comfort levels.

Mens 2 Button Vested Summer Seersucker Suit in Blue

Cruises are a popular vacation option for many people. They offer an opportunity to travel to exotic destinations while enjoying luxurious amenities and entertainment on board. One of the best parts about cruising is the opportunity to dress up for formal nights and other special events. For men, this means wearing a suit. But with so many different styles and fabrics to choose from, selecting the right suit for a cruise can be overwhelming. In this article, we’ll explore the different types of suits that are best for cruises and offer tips on how to style them.

Types of Suits for Cruises

When it comes to selecting a suit for a cruise, there are several different types to choose from. Here are some of the most popular options:

Classic Navy Blue Suit The classic navy blue suit is a timeless option that works well for formal events on a cruise. It’s a versatile color that pairs well with a variety of shirt and tie combinations. Navy blue is also a flattering color that looks good on most skin tones.

Light Grey Suit A light grey suit is another great option for a cruise. It’s a lighter color that is perfect for warm weather destinations. Light grey suits also pair well with a variety of shirt and tie combinations, making them a versatile choice.

Seersucker Suit For a more casual cruise, a seersucker suit is a great option. Seersucker is a lightweight, breathable fabric that is perfect for warmer weather. It’s also a classic southern style that is perfect for a Caribbean cruise.

Linen Suit Linen suits are another great option for warmer weather cruises. Linen is a lightweight, breathable fabric that keeps you cool and comfortable in hot weather. Linen suits also have a relaxed, casual look that is perfect for a tropical vacation.

Tuxedo For formal events on a cruise, a tuxedo is a must-have. Tuxedos are typically black with satin lapels and a satin stripe down the side of the pants. They are usually worn with a white dress shirt and black bow tie.

Tips for Styling Your Cruise Suit

Once you’ve selected the right suit for your cruise, it’s important to style it correctly. Here are some tips to help you look your best:

Choose the Right Shirt and Tie The shirt and tie you choose can make or break your suit. For a classic navy blue or light grey suit, a white dress shirt and solid colored tie are a safe choice. You can also experiment with patterned or textured ties for a more interesting look. For a seersucker or linen suit, a light-colored shirt and a bow tie or no tie at all can create a relaxed, casual look.

Get the Right Fit The fit of your suit is crucial for looking your best. Make sure to get your suit tailored to fit your body perfectly. The jacket should fit snugly around your shoulders and chest, and the sleeves should hit just above your wrist. The pants should fit comfortably around your waist and hips, and the hem should hit just above your shoe.

Pay Attention to Details The details of your outfit can make a big difference. Make sure to wear dress shoes that match the color of your suit. A pocket square can add a touch of elegance to your look. And don’t forget to wear a belt that matches your shoes.

Dress for the Occasion Make sure to dress appropriately for the occasion. Formal nights on a cruise usually require a suit or tuxedo. Other events may have specific dress codes as well, so make sure to check with the cruise line before you pack.

Don't forget to pair a quality pair of shoes with your new suit or tuxedo. We have all sizes and styles avaialble.

We have all color, size, and style dress shirts, tuxedo shirts, and dress shirt sets. The perfect way to complete your look.

All color and style hats in luxurious fabrics. Complete your look with a classic designer hat.

Men’s Capsule Wardrobe for a Cruise Vacation

Things to Consider

Your clothing choices will depend on your ports of call and the likely weather conditions.
For cruising in hotter climes opt for shorts and short-sleeved shirts in light natural fabrics.
In cooler destinations you'll prefer trousers, long-sleeved shirts and jackets in thicker weights.
Clever layering is the best way to cope with changeable weather conditions – e.g. wear a jacket over a fleece, over a t-shirt.
Consider the activities you plan to do off ship – will you need particular clothing or footwear?
Check the evening dress codes – these vary between cruise line and ship and may be strictly enforced. Sports and beach wear is generally not allowed in the evenings, and jackets and ties may be required on formal nights.
The amount of food you can eat on a cruise is all part of the appeal; we recommend you pack clothes with comfortable waistbands!
Pick a simple colour scheme of neutrals plus one or two statement shades if you like. Make sure all your clothes co-ordinate so they can be mixed and matched.
Remember you will need an outfit to travel in! Wear your bulkiest clothes and shoes where possible.
Download our complete packing list below for all quantities and a checklist of items.

What We Would Pack For A Cruise

Casual Tops

Pack simple tops in your favourite colours that will match your trousers and shorts. Collared t-shirts or shirts can be worn for casual evenings, then wear by day for sightseeing. Depending on the climate choose from long or short-sleeved, or a mixture.

Suggested buy : Calvin Klein Men's Polo with Uv Protection on Amazon

Smart Shirts

Choose smart shirts that can be dressed down with jeans or up with trousers. Short sleeved are fine in warmer weather, but don't forget a dress shirt or similar if you're taking a dinner jacket or suit (see below).

Suggested buy : Russell Long Sleeve Fitted Shirt by Amazon

Packaway Jacket

A light packaway raincoat is a good idea to carry with you on day trips – it's ideal in case the weather changes quickly or you experience a sudden downpour. You can layer up underneath for warmth if necessary, or opt for a more substantial jacket in cooler climes.

Check out : Result Waterproof Jacket by Amazon

Essential for sun protection in hot weather or to keep out the cold and wet in cooler regions. It's usually windy at sea, so choose a style that stays on securely – our Breezy Sun Hat features a chin strap, so it's great for outdoor pursuits.

Suggested Buy : Dorfman Pacific Men's Safari Hat on Amazon

Smart Shoes

Pack one formal pair to go with your suit. We love Hotter shoes which are really lightweight and comfy, even on warm evenings.

Suggested buy : Lance Shoes by Hotter

Take some non-slip comfy flats for daytime on deck, easy exploring off ship, and casual evenings.

Suggested buy : Marine Deck Shoes by Hotter

Walking Shoes or Trainers

If you plan to do lots of walking on shore you'll need some active shoes. Closed-toe are best on dusty roads, and if you're heading off the beaten track do make sure you have something sturdy and supportive that are suited to the terrain.

These are comfy : Logan Sneakers by Hotter

Tailored Shorts

For warmer weather add in another pair of shorts. Make them tailored as an option for casual evening wear where permitted.

Suggested buy : RVCA Flat Front Twill Shorts by Nordstrom

It's extremely bright at sea when the sun's out as the rays reflect off the water. If you want to admire the views then sunglasses are essential.

We love : Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer by Amazon

Good sunscreen is essential in hotter climes, and don't get caught out on cloudy days either – you can still get burnt. Remember that water will reflect the sun's rays too. Choose a product with a high SPF (protects from UVB rays) and also look for the star or PA rating which indicates protection from UVA.

Suggested buy : SPF 30 PA+++ Water Resistant Sunscreen by Murad

Essential for lazy days of sun-bathing, by the ship's pool or in beach destinations.

Suggested buy : Sandbar Swim Trunks by MaddaFella

Casual Trousers or Shorts

These should be practical for days out. Consider the type of activities you will do – are they city-based or more rural/active? Choose fabrics that dry quickly in case of rain. Styles with detachable legs are a good option for varied temperatures. You might opt for shorts in hotter climes, but trousers are good protection against sun and insects.

Some cruise lines have a ‘smart' dress code between casual and formal. On these nights a jacket may be required (with or without a tie). Team it with your smart-casual trousers and deck shoes. You may opt for this look on ‘casual' nights too.

Smart-Casual Trousers

Choose a pair that are comfy for day wear (team with a t-shirt and walking shoes) but can also be worn to dinner with smart shoes and a shirt. Smart dark jeans would work well, or try a lighter Chino style in warmer weather. On some ships men are required to wear long trousers (not shorts) in the evenings.

This bag is handy : AG 'Protégé' Straight Leg Twill Pants by Nordstrom

You'll need a lightweight bag for all your sightseeing essentials. Our packaway day sack folds up into itself and fits easily in your suitcase when not in use. It's surprisingly roomy, showerproof and light to carry – even in hot weather.

Dinner Jacket or Suit

For formal nights a dinner jacket is the norm – these can usually be hired on board if you don't want to pack one. Any dark suit would also be acceptable. You can eat in the buffet restaurants if you prefer not to get dressed up, but be aware you may turned away from other parts of the ship. It varies by cruise line, so do check before you go if you don't want to miss out on anything.

Fleece or Light Sweater

Even in hot weather the breezes can make it feel cool when sailing, whilst inside the air-con can also be chilly. A fleece is light, cosy and packs well – or opt for a smart sweater if that's more your style.

Suggested buy: : The North Face Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece by Amazon

Tie & Cufflinks

If you're packing your suit and formal shirt, don't forget a tie or bow tie, cufflinks and any other accessories you wish to go with it. A regular tie is always handy to pack for other evenings too – just in case.

Suggested buy: : Chuvora 925 Sterling Silver Cuff Links on Amazon

What Clothes To Pack For A Cruise: A Concise Packing List (For Men)

Heading out into the open seas soon, and want to make sure you’re dressed right? Look no further. We’re gonna cover exactly what clothes to pack for a cruise in this article.

And yes, you’re on a menswear website, so our focus is on tackling that cruise packing list for men. There seem to be more guides out there designed for ladies when it comes to packing for trips. This, unfortunately, doesn’t mean that men’s suitcases are a straight-forward endeavor.

This is true when it comes to packing for a cruise, and especially when figuring out what to include in your vacation wardrobe.

Not all boat holidays are the same. Different parts of the ship have different temperature situations to consider, not to mention the range of programming and points of disembarking—sometimes it feels like you’re packing for every season. Keep reading to get the details!

Jump To Any Section

A Quick Cruise Packing List (For Men)

If you just need a checklist to start packing, to check over what you’ve already packed, or to jog your memory for things you might’ve forgotten, I’ve listed everything right in this section (we’ll get into each item further down in this article):

What to Pack for Every Cruise

Regardless of whether you’re on a cruise in the Caribbean or a multi-stop European voyage, you’re definitely going to need a few style basics that can be used to create several outfits.

In general, you’ll want to follow the basics and guidelines we outline in our men’s summer fashion article.

We’re assuming a 7-day cruise for this packing list, but if you’re taking a longer 10- or 14-day cruise, you may have to double up on some of these.

Men’s Swimsuit

When going on a cruise, you should bring at least two different swimsuits. You have the option of buying various quick-drying swim shorts that are comfortable and excellent for catamaran snorkeling trips and beach outings.

Obviously, you’ll go for your favorite colors to wear, though if you’re on a tropical cruise, it’s a good time to experiment with brighter hues and lively patterns if it’s something you’ve always wanted to do but never had the opportunity.

If you know the programming will have a white party or a deck cocktail, and if you’re more of a sunbather and feet-dipper, rather than a full-on swimmer, here’s a trick to help you pack more efficiently.

Go for fitted, above-the-knee shorts, in white or cream. If you aren’t planning on getting wet, it’ll serve all of the above purposes.

Last but not least Like its socks or boxer briefs, Mack Weldon has turned its penchant for design and performance into some must-buy swim trunks. These feature four-way stretch fabric and zip front and back pockets to protect your EDC from wind and waves.

Which leads us to our next cruise essential…

Classic Fit Shorts

When choosing what clothes to pack for a cruise, remember that you’ll always look great in beige or tan shorts with a classic fit .

Again, depending on your poolside preferences, jersey or linen shorts will get a ton of mileage on a cruise.

Wearing shorts made of jersey material with pockets is ideal when you’re lounging by the pool, walking around the cruise ship, or visiting the ports, since it’s lightweight and made for comfort and warm weather.

Unless there’s a non-neutral color that you really love and want to wear a lot, shades like gray, navy blue, black, and olive will be the easiest to partner shirts with (in addition to the prior mentioned white or cream ).

Classic Fit Men’s Chinos

Khaki pants should always be on your list of what to pack for a cruise. In general, cruises are mostly resort-casual during the day, and chinos are a perfect, elegant approach to a relaxed on-vacation look. Plus, they’re super versatile.

Chinos are ideal for a variety of occasions, including smart casual evenings and events that take place in the ship’s main dining rooms and restaurants .

BR has a variety of chinos in different fits and fabric styles, some 100% cotton, others with a bit of stretch for comfort.

Bring along at least one or two pairs of classic pants that you can wear with a button-down shirt or a polo top—a pair of maroon pants might be a fun option .

Long-sleeve Linen Shirt

Long-sleeve linen shirts are worth mentioning. They’re lightweight and look cruise-appropriate, with or without a collar.

Again, because of the casual-leaning nature of cruises, they may not be as versatile as their short-sleeve, collared counterparts (which are perfectly appropriate by the pool and walking around during the day).

But to be honest, I’d recommend a linen shirt for your everyday, walk-around outfit because they look so great in tropical locales (and on ships). They’re flowy and cool, as well, and are easily dressed up or down.

If you opt to bring a long-sleeve linen shirt , you can pair it with chinos and leather loafers for an elegantly casual dinner look . If you don’t bring one, just replace with a short-sleeve collared shirt and a blazer.

Short-Sleeve Collared Shirts

Polo shirts and short-sleeve button-ups, like khaki or linen shorts, can do double and triple duty on basically any kind of cruise.

How Should Polos and Short Sleeve Button Up Shirts Fit?

In fact, unless there is formal programming on the boat, you can likely get away with just packing a polo a day in different colors, since you can wear them with shorts or pants, and with or without a blazer or jacket.

Short-sleeve button-ups are even more versatile since they can sometimes pass as more formal shirts when paired with a sport jacket .

Speaking of jackets, you should probably bring a sport coat. They’re the cherry on top for the resort casual or smart casual outfits you’ll be wearing on the ship.

The one exception is if you’re packing a full suit. If you are strategic with your suit selection, you can skip bringing a sport coat and just wear the suit trousers and jacket separately as needed. (See below for our thoughts on bringing a suit.)

A luxurious, open weave wool silk blend fabric from Italian mill Lanificio di Pray. This perfect relaxed, versatile, warm weather jacket features an unstructured cut with no padding or canvassing.

So what kind of sport coat? I’d recommend a lightweight, unstructured navy jacket made from cotton, linen, silk, wool, or some combination of those. That’s gonna be your most versatile and comfortable jacket. It’ll go with stone chinos, white denim, light grey linen trousers, light khaki chino shorts, everything.

For shoes, you’ll need: One sharp pair of loafers , one pair of white / neutral low-profile leather or canvas sneakers , and a pair of flip-flops or slides for the pool or beach.

A leather boat shoe ( worn with or without socks ) could replace both flip flops and sneakers, though if they get scuffed up on the beach or wash away with the waves, you won’t have a backup casual shoe option.

Most likely, your loafers will see the most use. That’s because they’re a great option for your resort casual outfits. Minimal canvas or white leather sneakers (or boat shoes) are fine too, but how often do we get to step up our style in a fun, OK-to-show-out situation such as a fancy cruise?

Loafers are the most balanced way to approach effortless formality, perfect for a cruise. They can be worn with shorts and they’re great traveling shoes too, since they’re easy to slip on and off.

Accessories

When it comes to accessories, consider bringing a leather belt , one or two watches , a pair of sunglasses , and one to two hats . You may need one or two ties , too, if you have any formal dinners to attend.

For ties , you’re certainly welcome to pack just one, if you’re okay with not mixing it up. And, you can also pack several if you know you’ll be wearing a tie often, and it doesn’t take up packing space from the essentials. Some cruises do have more than one semi-formal in its duration.

For watches , you can bring one, as long as it’s a versatile, luxury sport watch . Most luxury sport watches can be paired with a suit. And if there’s a truly formal, tuxedo-appropriate event, you can just go watchless, per old traditions. Otherwise, bring one dress watch and one casual watch .

To protect yourself from the sun, bring hats and sunglasses —two of each in case you lose one.

Specific Clothes for Specific Cruises

Now that we’ve covered the essentials you’ll need on every cruise, here are some pieces you may need to consider for more specialized situations.

A lot of these can actually take the place of some of the above essentials, if you like, though they aren’t as easily multi-use. Read on to see what I mean!

A Summer-Weight Suit

While you won’t always need a fully formal/black-tie optional situation, you may need at least one proper suit.

If a particular program or time of evening at a ship’s dining hall is truly black tie, you’ll know because the cruise line will fully communicate that to you. However, in the semi-formal or cocktail realm, it’s best to avoid landmines and just bring a suit.

The perfect suit to have, if you only have one suit. Available in classic colors and a variety of cuts.

When you’re on the boat, you’ll never be that far away from your room, and if you don’t end up wearing the jacket and the pants together, they’ll be effective separates for dinner or drinks .

Even if you don’t wear a dress shirt , you can wear a short-sleeve button-up, camp collar shirt , or ribbed hem polo shirt in its place. Plus, the jacket can serve as a piece of outerwear for places on the boat that are air-conditioned.

If, and only if, there’s formal programming at any point in the cruise, will you need a tuxedo plus all its accoutrement. And typically, the cruise line will be pretty blatant about it in their messaging.

In fact, most cruise lines won’t have anything that formal , and you’ll more likely run into this situation if you’re on a private cruise. Meaning, perhaps the social club you’re in or the company you work for is throwing a special event.

That being the case, there might be a formal dinner with a presentation, maybe there’s a Bond-like casino theme going on, or sometimes one of your stops includes a banquet hall situation.

These days, you can often wear a crisp black suit to formal events. You’ll just need a different suit, maybe in gray or navy, if there’s a cocktail on another day, so that you can differentiate your formal and cocktail attire.

Dress Shirt

Similar to a tuxedo, you won’t often need a dress shirt at most resort-style cruises. Naturally, you’ll need at least one or two , if any of the above formal situations are expected.

Otherwise, it’s a matter of how much you want to spruce it up at semi-formals, at dinner, and at cocktail events.

Dress shirts aren’t as versatile as short-sleeve button-ups, when it comes to what goes on during a cruise, but they also don’t take up that much room.

As always, feel free to pack one or two, if you like, as long as it doesn’t take up the space of an essential.

Dress Shoes

If you have a nice pair of leather or suede loafers such as what I’ve mentioned above, you can probably get away with that for most resort casual and formal dress codes.

Again, pay attention to the cruise’s schedule of events. If you’re attending a particularly high-end cruise trip, then you may need specific dress shoes like oxfords or bluchers, which are a step above loafers in terms of formality .

Sports- & Activity-Specific Gear

If you’re going on a cruise built around a specific hobby or activity, like golfing or hiking, you’ll obviously need to pack accordingly.

You might do some hiking during general travel cruises, in which case your sneakers will do just fine. However, if it’s an actual hiking tour, you’ll need your trail shoes or hiking boots .

Make sure your boots are fully broken in, or you’ll be in a lot of pain during the activities !

Other possible sports clothes and gear you might need include golf cleats, since golf tour cruises are common among hobbyists, and possibly even wetsuits, if you go on a diving cruise.

Diving cruises typically provide all of the gear though, so it really depends on the cruise line. It’s the same situation with golf gear.

Which leads us to our next topic…

Non-Clothing Items to Pack for a Cruise

Toiletries and medicine.

You’ll probably find soap and shampoo in your stateroom on cruise ships just as you would in a hotel. But, the onboard items might not work well for your hair and skin , or you might not like the scent .

If that sounds like you, then it’s best to bring your own toiletries whenever possible—especially if you have allergies.

Since you’ll be under the sun a lot, sunscreen is also very important!

Pack more than you believe you’ll require because it might be challenging to get your preferred brands in ports outside of the country and cruise liners often charge exorbitant fees for the sale of necessities.

Travel Gear

Not all of us have the good fortune to live within a couple of hours drive of a major seaport. The majority of cruise passengers must either fly or drive to their embarkation port, which means they must pack for both modes of transportation.

Accessories for the airplane, such as a neck cushion, eye mask, or noise-canceling headphones, should be included for lengthy flights and overnight flights leading up to a cruise vacation.

If you have a pre-cruise hotel stay planned, you might want to think about packing the essentials for that extended stay in a separate bag so that you won’t have to unpack as well as repack your primary suitcase .

This will save you time and energy.

You’re going to want to bring your tablet computer or an electronic book reader with you for both the pre-cruise travel and if you want to relax with a good book , or audio book , under the sun while you’re on the boat.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should a man wear on a cruise .

a) a classic linen shirt or b) a camp collar shirt , with
a) chino shorts or b) chino pants, and
a) white minimalist sneakers or b) brown loafers.

Choosing one option from each line is a simple outfit option that would cover a wide range of cruise dress codes (or lack of dress codes).

Of course, if you’re attending a formal event or lounging by the pool, you’ll need something a bit different. See the above article for all our suggestions.

How many outfits do I need for a 7-day cruise?

If you follow the Lean Wardrobe philosophy , most / all of your individual items can be mixed and matched into a number of wardrobes, so you don’t have to bring tons of stuff.

In general, you should carry enough clothing to make at least 6-7 outfits (individual items can be repeated in several of these outfits, of course). Depending on the cruise program, you will need a mix of formal / semi-formal outfits and resort casual outfits .

You’ll also need pool and loungewear, and practical attire for adventures on dry land.

What should I wear during the day on a cruise ship?

The goal here is to be casual, yet put together and stylish. Try tailored shorts, linen shirts , and minimal canvas or leather sneakers, for starters. This will take you from the deck to the dock, throughout the towns you’re exploring, and back again.

Don’t forget your accessories, like a straw panama hat, a handkerchief or bandana (to wipe your hands or sweaty brow) and classically shaped sunglasses for a bit of sun protection.

Are jeans OK on a cruise?

Yes, jeans are generally OK on a cruise, particularly during the day or in casual settings. For max versatility, bring a pair of clean, dark wash, straight leg jeans with minimal distressing and fading. These can easily be dressed up or down.

It’s best to avoid distressed or overly casual jeans. They’re not as versatile and may not be suitable for some dining venues or formal events on board.

Can I wear shorts to dinner on a cruise?

Shorts are perfectly fine for daytime activities, though they are most likely not appropriate for the cruise ship’s formal dining settings and events. To be safe, wear trousers or chinos paired with a collared shirt for a more polished, dinner-appropriate look .

The more casual dining venues or buffet-style restaurants may be more lenient with their dress code, allowing shorts during meal times.

What is smart casual attire for a cruise ship?

Smart casual attire for men on a cruise ship might include dress chinos or tailored trousers, a crisp button-down shirt or ribbed hem polo shirt , and a lightweight sport coat. Finish the look with loafers or dress shoes, a clean dress belt, and a refined watch .

The smart casual dress code allows for a more relaxed vibe while still maintaining a refined appearance, perfect for most cruise ship events and dining venues.

Are there any items I should avoid packing for a cruise?

You can probably leave these things at home:

Overly casual items like distressed jeans or offensive / corny graphic tees (not appropriate for a classy cruise ship)
Heavy coats or bulky sweaters (not needed in a tropical cruise climate)
Basic toiletries (unless you need them for a specific reason) such as soap and shampoo, towels, a hair dryer, etc. The cruise ship will provide these for you

Bon Voyage!

When traveling on a cruise, it’s common to bring too many clothes and forget everything else.

When you take your luggage out of the closet and start packing for your next trip, refer to this list so that you can make sure you have everything you need, not only in terms of clothing but also the accessories and toiletries you’ll need.

Most importantly, loosen up and enjoy yourself. You’re going on a cruise! If you have any more questions on what to pack for a one or two week cruise, you can DM us on Instagram anytime.

Hey, guys! Are you planning to go on a cruise and wondering what to wear? Let’s talk cruise fashion for men so you can look your best on your trip.

First and foremost, make sure to pack clothes that are appropriate for the weather and activities, both onboard and on excursions. Check your cruise line’s dress code well before your cruise so you can be sure you have everything you need. You don’t want to be caught wearing shorts at a specialty restaurant, or long pants on a beach day.

What Men Wear on Cruises

For daytime activities, go for casual wear like shorts, T-shirts, and polo shirts. Don’t forget to bring comfortable footwear like sneakers or sandals. If you plan to go to the fitness center or participate in sports, pack workout clothes as well.

On dressier nights, a blazer or sports coat paired with dress pants and a collared shirt is a great option. You can also add a tie to dress it up even more, and be sure to bring dress shoes that match.

The luxury cruise lines have formal nights and require men to wear a suit and tie, or at least a dress shirt and dress pants. If you choose to bring a suit, make sure it fits properly and is well-pressed. Although the mainstream and premier cruise lines have relaxed their dress codes, some people still dress in formal wear; it’s just not required on those lines.

Also, don’t forget to pack swimwear and beachwear for days spent lounging by the pool or on the beach. Board shorts, swim trunks, and T-shirts are all great options.

Choosing What to Pack

We’re assuming this is a seven-night cruise to the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Mexican Riviera, Bermuda, or the Mediterranean and are planning accordingly. There are usually five or six port days where you’ll be going on excursions, and a sea day or two where you’ll stay onboard. In the evenings, dinners will usually be casual unless you go to a specialty restaurant or it’s a dressy night.

I’ve chosen items in mostly blues and tans that mix and match well. A link to the retailer is listed below each item in case you want to check it out.

Store inventories are fluid, so you may click on an item to shop it and find it’s no longer available. In any case, you can see the look I was going for.

Let’s start with some bottoms: three pairs of shorts, a pair of khakis, and jeans.

Now, let’s find some shirts. Three T-shirts, one long-sleeved shirt, two camp shirts, a polo, and a graphic tee.

And some shoes and accessories: sunglasses, watch, belt, loafers, boat shoes, sneakers, and a couple of ball caps.

Plus, an optional blazer, a hoodie, and a swimsuit.

Outfits we can make.

Now, let’s have some fun and put together some outfits.

On port days you will likely be taking excursions, so you will want to be comfortable in the heat, wear good walking shoes, and protect yourself from the sun.

On days at sea, you will want to be comfortable, whether the weather is hot or cooler. Plus, if you’re staying inside, the ship will be chilly.

Poolside or a Beach Day

For the pool or beach, a swimsuit, tee, hat, and sunglasses are the best.

Working Out

If you work out, you will want clothing especially for that.

Casual Evenings

For casual evenings, you may be able to wear shorts if you are eating in a casual restaurant, but for a main dining room, you will want to wear long pants.

Dressier Evenings

If you are dining at a specialty restaurant or going to the theater, you will want to dress up a little. Up your game with a button-up shirt, khakis, and blazer.

Travel Outfit

For travel, you want to be comfortable but also look nice. This outfit will accomplish both.

Final Thoughts on Cruise Fashion For Men

Things you can add if you’re not packing light: another pair of shorts, a couple more T-shirts, another pair of swim trunks, and a pair of flip-flops or sandals. Don’t forget something to sleep in, underwear, and socks…especially dress socks.

In summary, cruise fashion for men isn’t that difficult. Simply pack a variety of items you can mix and match for different occasions, and make sure they fit well and are appropriate for the activity or dress code. Add some personal flair with accessories like a statement watch, but don’t overdo it.

And most importantly, have fun and enjoy your cruise.

Travel Tips

Introduction

Embarking on a cruise vacation is an exciting experience filled with relaxation, adventure, and the opportunity to explore beautiful destinations. As you plan for your upcoming cruise, one important consideration is what to wear. Dressing appropriately for different occasions and activities onboard can enhance your overall cruise experience and ensure you feel comfortable and confident throughout your trip.

While specific dress codes may vary depending on the cruise line and destination, there are general guidelines that can help you navigate the world of cruise fashion for men. From formal nights to casual days by the pool, being prepared with the right attire will make you look stylish and sophisticated while fitting in seamlessly with the cruise atmosphere.

In this article, we will provide a comprehensive guide on what to wear on a cruise for men, covering different occasions and activities. Whether you’re lounging on the deck, exploring port destinations, or enjoying a gourmet dinner, we’ll help you put together the perfect cruise wardrobe.

So, let’s dive in and discover the essential pieces and outfit ideas that will make you look and feel your best throughout your cruise vacation!

Formal Nights

One of the highlights of a cruise vacation is the opportunity to dress up for formal nights. These elegant evenings often feature fancy dinners, cocktail parties, and live performances, creating a glamorous and sophisticated atmosphere on the ship.

For formal nights, men are typically expected to wear black tie or formal attire. This means a tuxedo or a dark suit paired with a crisp white dress shirt and a black bow tie. You can choose to wear a cummerbund or a vest as well. Make sure your suit is well-fitted and tailored to give you a polished and dapper look.

Accessorize your formal attire with cufflinks, a pocket square, and elegant dress shoes. Opt for a classic style such as oxfords or loafers in black or dark brown. Polish your shoes before the formal night to keep them looking sharp.

Keep in mind that some cruise lines have specific guidelines regarding formal nights. They may require a strict dress code or offer formalwear rental options onboard. It’s always a good idea to check your cruise line’s website or consult with your travel agent to understand the specific requirements for formal nights.

Formal nights provide a wonderful opportunity to capture memorable photos and socialize with fellow passengers. Embrace the elegant atmosphere and embrace the chance to dress your best. You’ll surely impress your fellow cruisers and feel like a true gentleman during these special evenings at sea.

Casual Nights

While formal nights on a cruise are all about dressing to impress, casual nights offer a more relaxed and laid-back atmosphere. Casual nights are a time for comfort and leisure, allowing you to unwind and enjoy the onboard activities without the need for formal attire.

During casual nights, men have more flexibility in their clothing choices. You can opt for smart casual outfits that strike the perfect balance between comfort and style. Khaki or chino pants paired with a collared shirt or polo shirt is a popular choice. You can also go for well-fitted jeans with a stylish button-down shirt or a casual sweater.

When it comes to footwear, loafers, boat shoes, or stylish sneakers are great options for casual nights. Avoid wearing overly casual or worn-out shoes to maintain a polished appearance. You can accessorize your ensemble with a belt, a watch, and some subtle jewelry pieces to add a touch of personality.

It’s important to note that even on casual nights, there are still some restrictions regarding appropriate attire. Most cruise lines prohibit tank tops, swimwear, shorts, and flip-flops in the main dining rooms and specialty restaurants. However, they are typically allowed in the buffet and casual dining areas.

While the atmosphere is more relaxed, it’s always a good idea to dress neatly and presentably. You never know when you may want to explore the different onboard venues or stumble upon impromptu photo opportunities. So, make sure to pack a variety of smart casual outfits to enjoy the casual nights in comfort and style.

Pool and Deck Wear

When it’s time to soak up the sun and enjoy the pool and outdoor spaces on the cruise ship, you’ll want to dress appropriately for the occasion. Pool and deck wear should be comfortable, practical, and stylish, allowing you to relax and have fun while maintaining a respectful appearance.

For men, swimwear is a must-have for the pool and deck areas. Opt for swim shorts or trunks that fit well and flatter your body shape. Choose a style and color that suits your personal taste, whether it’s solid, striped, or patterned. Avoid excessively baggy or revealing swimwear to maintain a modest look.

Aside from swimwear, it’s a good idea to bring a cover-up or a lightweight shirt for when you need to step away from the pool or grab a bite to eat. A stylish linen shirt or a casual button-down shirt paired with shorts or comfortable pants can create a chic and relaxed poolside look.

When it comes to footwear, flip-flops or sandals are essential for pool and deck areas. Choose a pair that offers comfort and support while being water-friendly. Additionally, don’t forget to pack a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun’s rays.

While pool and deck wear tend to be more casual, it’s still important to be mindful of the dress code and respect the guidelines set by the cruise line. Some cruise lines may have specific rules regarding appropriate swimwear and require the use of cover-ups when moving through indoor areas. Be sure to look into these guidelines ahead of time to ensure a smooth and enjoyable pool and deck experience.

Whether you’re lounging by the pool, enjoying a refreshing drink at the bar, or participating in outdoor activities, dressing appropriately will allow you to fully embrace the relaxation and fun of the cruise ship’s pool and deck areas.

Shore Excursions

One of the highlights of a cruise vacation is the opportunity to explore exciting port destinations. Whether you’re visiting historical landmarks, embarking on adventure-filled excursions, or simply strolling through quaint coastal towns, dressing appropriately for shore excursions is essential to ensure comfort and ease during your day ashore.

The clothing you choose for shore excursions will largely depend on the activities you have planned. If you’re going on a sightseeing tour or visiting cultural attractions, opt for comfortable and lightweight clothing. A pair of well-fitted shorts or pants, coupled with a breathable shirt or a polo, is a practical and stylish choice. Don’t forget to wear comfortable walking shoes to protect your feet during long walks or hikes.

If you’re planning more adventurous excursions such as snorkeling, hiking, or zip-lining, make sure to pack appropriate gear. Swimwear, rash guards, and water shoes are essential for water-based activities, while lightweight and moisture-wicking clothes, along with sturdy hiking boots or athletic shoes, are recommended for land-based adventures.

It’s also wise to consider the weather and cultural norms of the port destinations. If you’re visiting conservative countries or religious sites, it’s important to dress modestly and respectfully. Bring along a light scarf or a cover-up to easily adapt your outfit when needed.

Remember to bring a backpack or a small bag to carry essentials such as water bottles, sunscreen, hats, and any necessary documents. Opt for a waterproof or water-resistant bag to protect your belongings in case of unexpected rain or water activities.

It’s always a good idea to research and plan your shore excursions in advance to have a better understanding of the activities and destinations you’ll be visiting. This will help you pack the appropriate clothing and gear, ensuring you have an enjoyable and comfortable experience during your time ashore.

Dinner Wear

One of the most anticipated aspects of a cruise vacation is indulging in delicious meals at the ship’s various dining venues. Whether you’re dining at the main dining room or one of the specialty restaurants, having the right dinner wear is important to create a polished and sophisticated look.

Most cruise lines have a dress code for dinner, with options ranging from casual to formal. The dress code for the main dining room can vary by cruise line and even by specific night, so it’s advisable to check the guidelines provided by your cruise line beforehand.

On casual nights, men can opt for smart casual attire. This can include dress pants or khakis paired with a collared shirt, such as a button-down or a polo shirt. You can also layer your look with a lightweight jacket or a sweater for added style. It’s important to avoid wearing shorts, flip-flops, and overly casual or worn-out clothing in the main dining room.

On formal nights, dressing up is part of the dining experience. A suit or a tuxedo is typically recommended, accompanied by a formal collared shirt, dress shoes, and a bow tie or necktie. If you don’t want to pack a full tuxedo, a dark suit with a white dress shirt and a black tie can be a suitable alternative.

For those who prefer a more relaxed dining experience, cruise ships often offer a variety of casual dining options where the dress code is more relaxed. These casual venues still maintain a certain level of decorum, so it’s best to dress neatly and presentably even in these settings.

It’s important to note that some specialty restaurants onboard may have their own specific dress codes. Upscale specialty restaurants often require more formal attire, while casual dining venues may have more relaxed guidelines. Be sure to check the dress code policy for each venue before making a reservation.

Overall, having the right dinner wear not only ensures that you adhere to the cruise line’s dress code but also makes dining a more enjoyable and elegant experience. Whether you’re indulging in a gourmet meal or savoring casual fare, dressing appropriately will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the culinary delights of your cruise vacation.

Accessories

When it comes to creating a stylish and well-put-together look on a cruise, accessories play a crucial role. The right accessories can elevate your outfit, add personality, and enhance your overall appearance. Here are some key accessories that can make a difference in your cruise fashion:

Belts: A belt not only serves a functional purpose but also adds a touch of detail to your outfit. Opt for a belt that complements your style and matches the color of your shoes for a polished look.
Watches: A classy and well-designed wristwatch is a timeless accessory that adds sophistication to any outfit. Choose a watch that suits your personal style, whether it’s a classic leather strap or a modern stainless steel bracelet.
Sunglasses: Not only do sunglasses protect your eyes from the sun’s glare, but they also add a cool and stylish element to your look. Invest in a good pair of sunglasses that complements your face shape and offers proper UV protection.
Ties and Bow Ties: For formal nights or upscale events onboard, having a collection of ties and bow ties is essential. Experiment with different patterns, colors, and textures to add variety to your formal attire.
Pocket Squares: A pocket square is a small accessory that can make a big impact. It adds a pop of color and sophistication to your suit jacket, giving you a refined and polished appearance.
Scarves: Scarves are versatile accessories that can be worn in different ways. They can add a layer of warmth or be used as a stylish accent to your outfit. Pack a lightweight scarf for breezy evenings on deck or for exploring port destinations.
Jewelry: Subtle jewelry pieces such as bracelets, rings, or necklaces can add a touch of personal style to your look. Keep it minimal and choose pieces that complement your overall outfit without overpowering it.

When it comes to accessories, it’s important to strike the right balance. Avoid going overboard with too many accessories that may appear cluttered or distracting. Instead, choose a few key pieces that enhance your outfit and reflect your personal style.

Remember, accessories are meant to complement your attire, so choose items that coordinate well with your clothing and shoes. By paying attention to the details, you can enhance the overall look and make a stylish statement on your cruise vacation.

As you prepare for your cruise vacation, having a well-curated wardrobe that suits the different occasions and activities onboard is essential. By following the guidelines for formal nights, casual nights, pool and deck wear, shore excursions, and dinner wear, you can ensure that you look and feel your best throughout your cruise.

Remember to pack a mix of formal attire for elegant evenings, smart casual outfits for casual nights, and comfortable attire for pool and deck areas. Consider the activities you have planned during shore excursions and pack accordingly. And don’t forget to accessorize your outfits with belts, watches, sunglasses, ties, and other stylish accessories to add the perfect finishing touches.

While it’s important to adhere to the dress codes set by the cruise line, it’s also an opportunity to express your personal style and showcase your individuality. Feel free to experiment with colors, patterns, and textures to create unique and eye-catching looks that reflect your personality.

By dressing appropriately and thoughtfully, you not only ensure that you fit in with the cruise atmosphere but also feel confident and comfortable during your vacation. The right attire can enhance your overall cruise experience, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the onboard activities, shore excursions, and dining experiences.

So, pack your bags, choose your outfits wisely, and get ready to embark on an incredible cruise vacation, looking stylish and feeling your best every step of the way!

The 12 Best Travel Suits for Men of 2024

These packable options will keep you looking as good as you feel.

While we wish all of our travel plans exclusively involved wearing our most casual outfits with our feet dangling over a warm body of water, sometimes our global adventures call for more formal attire. Whether that’s a work conference, business meeting, or a loved one’s wedding (maybe even your own destination nuptials), some of our trips require us to pack a suit. As packing for travel becomes more and more stressful, especially as it pertains to luggage requirements, picking the right suit to travel with can be equally puzzling. Luckily, it’s a problem that’s not impossible to solve. “When it comes to a travel suit, the fabric is the single most important factor,” says Proper Cloth head of design Chris Callis, who travels with a suit every month. “You want something that’s resistant to wrinkling and has comfortable stretch.” We suggest making the most out of your travel suit by picking one that can easily be worn as separates when paired with the right pants or top.

We’ve rounded up 12 of our favorite suits to consider for the next trip where you may need one. They include varying degrees of stretch and crease-resistance, but they all get high points for style.

Best Overall

Canali classic fit wool suit.

Classic Italian tailoring in a wear-forever color can’t be beat.

It’s a major splurge.

Our pick for the best overall travel suit is this classic single-breast option in black that you can wear to anything that requires such a garment. (And given the price, you will want to wear it everywhere.) The flawless Italian construction from the master tailors at Canali means exceptional fit (think: just the right amount of room where you need it, like across the shoulders). And there’s just a bit of texture on the wool to give it some visual interest without it looking too trendy. If you take care of it, it’s really the kind of suit you can wear forever. We love the idea of pairing these trousers with a white T-shirt and sneakers for an easy-going outfit as well.

The suit is 100 percent wool so you know you’re getting quality, breathable natural material. It’s not going to be 100 percent wrinkle-free, but a quick steam right after taking it out of your suitcase should do the trick.

The Details: 100 percent wool | Sizes 36 to 52 US

Best Budget

Uniqlo airsense relaxed pants.

The material is super lightweight and stretchy, plus the entire suit is under $200.

The exaggerated lapel size skews trendy rather than traditional.

Uniqlo can always be trusted for their slick, affordable basics. And this lightweight suit in a classic fit comes with so many fantastic details that could truly have made it much more expensive. The proprietary AirSense textile is lightweight, stretchy, moisture-wicking, and wrinkle-resistant. Plus, the more casual vibe of these garments means you can easily wear each separately, but put a shirt and tie under the Uniqlo AirSense Blazer , and you’re ready for a dressier moment as well.

The Details: 100 percent polyester | Pants: XS to 3XL; Blazer: XXS to 3XL

Proper Cloth Irish Linen Bedford Suit

Proper Cloth

The silky texture makes for a gorgeous drape.

Linen is notorious for wrinkling.

Let’s get it out of the way: linen will wrinkle. But we still love the idea of it for travel, because linen screams vacation. You’ll have to work a little harder to make sure it’s in presentable condition, but once you overcome that hurdle, think about how sharp you’ll look in this beautifully tailored suit from Proper Cloth.

It’s got a soft drape and a silky touch so you know it’ll sit on your body just right. The fine Baird McNutt linen (some of the best in the world) is super breathable so it’s the perfect choice for a summer wedding, or if you just want to look your best for a trip to the tropics. It comes in seven colors, but we’re partial to the casual elegance of this faded brown tobacco hue. And Proper Cloth will let you customize the suit, too.

The Details: 100 percent linen | Jacket: Sizes 28 to 64, Length: short, regular, or long, Fit: extra slim to classic; Pants: Sizes: 26 to 60 waist, 26 to 44 inseam, Fit: extra slim to classic

Banana Republic Signature Herringbone Suit

Banana Republic

The herringbone is the perfect step up from classic navy or gray.

The jacket is unlikely to look great as a separate.

There’s something about this wool suit from Banana Republic that feels simultaneously formal and casual. The more modern, fuller cut is very stylish, but we love the old-school vibe of the herringbone pattern. The unexpected use of a heavier flannel gives this a very hardy feel, too, and that’ll be great if you want to wear the Signature Herringbone Suit Pants on their own for a more casual affair with a sweater or even a polo shirt.

The Details: 100 percent virgin wool |Pants: 30 to 36W, 30 to 32L; Jacket: 38 to 46, short, regular, long

Best Three-piece

Polo ralph lauren stripe three-piece suit.

Polo Ralph Lauren

It’s classic American menswear done right.

It’s pricey.

A pin-stripe wool-cotton suit with pleated pants and a matching vest is an unbeatable combination — it'll give off a confident vibe for your next business meeting. And Polo Ralph Lauren includes a twist by softening the shoulder seams so that they’ll drape beautifully into the sleeves. We also love the slim cut of the trousers for its elegant silhouette. And the vest will look fantastic on its own over a crisp Oxford shirt and a fantastic-fitting pair of jeans.

The Details: Wool-cotton blend | 34 to 48, short, regular, long

Best Cotton

J. crew ludlow slim-fit suit jacket.

For off-the-rack, the tailoring on the Ludlow is fantastic.

It doesn’t have a ton of stretch.

Crafted from medium-weight cotton from a renowned mill in Italy, this suit is one of J. Crew’s most enduring pieces. In fact, for the price (the entire set is under $500), this suit could cost a lot more. The slim fit gives it a very modern edge, too, which means the suit offers countless styling options. We love this blazer with jeans or even shorts for a sharp-but-casual outfit; while the Suit Pants are easy to pair with a myriad of tops, too.

The Details: 100 percent cotton | Pants: 28/32 to 38/32; Jacket: 34/S to 46/L

Best Size-inclusive

Bonobos jetsetter italian wool suit.

It comes in slim, standard, and athletic sizing.

It’s not tailored to your specific measurements.

Bonobos’ Jetsetter suit is made for travel, since the hint of elastane gives it stretch and some wrinkle resistance. But what we really love about it is how size-inclusive the suit is. For one, it is available from 36-short to 48-long and can be made in slim, standard, or athletic frames. No, that will not cover every single body type, but that covers more than what you would expect from an off-the-rack purchase.

The Details: 98 percent wool, 2 percent elastane | Blazer: 36S to 48L; Pants: 28 to 40, tailored, slim, athletic

Best Wrinkle-resistant

Suit supply havana blazer.

Suit Supply

The four-ply wool is naturally crease-resistant.

It’s a little pricey.

For this slim-cut wool suit, Netherlands-based menswear brand Suit Supply uses a high-quality Italian fabric with a ton of premium details: four-ply for durability, a slightly looser weave for breathability, and a tightly twisted yarn that’s naturally crease resistant.

We love how the very sleek silhouette (no shoulder pads and just a few discreet pockets) makes this a formalwear workhorse, but you can make a look more casual (but still incredibly put together) by wearing the blazer or Vigo Pants separately.

The Details: 100 percent wool | Blazer: 32 to 50S; Pants: 26 to 44S

Best Versatile

Theory mayer slim fit suit pants.

Bloomingdale's

A stretchy navy wool blazer is a wardrobe workhorse.

It’s a bit pricey.

Adding Lycra spandex to virgin wool gives this classic, slim-cut suit a fair amount of stretch, which means you can wear it on the plane. (Think of the big-time upgrade possibilities in a travel getup like this!) But the fabric actually comes with a ton of other modern benefits, too: the breathable textile helps regulate body temperature. Plus, it’s moisture-wicking and anti-odor. But the best perk for frequent travelers is that it is wrinkle-resistant. So both the Chambers Blazer and pants are ready to go as soon as you get off the plane, boat, or train.

The Details: 97 percent virgin wool, 3 percent Lycra spandex | Blazer: 34R to 48L; Pants: 28 to 40

Best Sustainable

Pangaia tailored trousers.

Pangaia is known for using recycled or responsibly sourced materials.

It has a baggier silhouette, which may not be for everyone.

This slightly oversized suit (made of organic cotton) from eco-friendly brand Pangaia offers a trendier take on the standard black suit, but the fantastic tailoring will have you looking dapper in any scenario. The back vent, concealed button plackets, and notched lapel are all hallmarks of classic formalwear, but some of Pangaia’s more innovative touches are there, too, like the use of peppermint oil to prevent odor, which means you can wear these pieces many more times before you need to clean it.

This is particularly great given how versatile both items are. The Oversized Tailored Blazer can make for a stylish oversized statement with a pair of jeans. And the unfussy drape on these pleated trousers are the perfect of-the-moment pants to throw on with your favorite T-shirts.

The Details: 100 percent cotton | Blazer: XXS to XL; Pants: XXS to XL

Best for Summer

Todd snyder italian seersucker madison drawstring seersucker suit.

Todd Snyder

The easy-breezy seersucker in this unexpected shade is incredibly chic.

It’s a lot more casual than a standard suit.

Other than linen, our favorite summertime textile is lightweight seersucker. The puckered fabric can actually hide wrinkling a bit, but this Todd Snyder set also comes with some stretch to make it a comfortable all-season option. (The black is an unexpected color for seersucker, and from afar, it will read like a standard suit — especially because of the waist-defining fit.)

We love it with loafers and a tonal shirt for a wedding in Sicily. Pair the pants with a white button-down and brogues, and you’ve got a foolproof casual Friday getup sorted.

The Details: 97 percent cotton, 3 percent elastane | Jacket: 36S to 46L; Pants: XS to XXL

Best Patterned

Brooks brothers cotton-blend paisley suit.

Brooks Brothers

This bright red paisley will turn heads.

It’s a bold look, but you can pull it off.

If you already have a standard navy, pin-stripe, or khaki suit, maybe it’s time to step up your travel wardrobe with this whimsical option from Brooks Brothers. It’s fun, it’s eye-catching, it’s giving Palm Springs. There’s some stretch for added comfort, and the fit offers a classic slimming cut. It’s easy to split these up as separates, too. In fact, we love the idea of these Cotton-Blend Paisley Suit Pants with a T-shirt or sweater plus low-top sneakers for a fashionable, fuss-free outfit.

But while the suit as whole is certainly a big look, a white button-down shirt will soften the overall impact of the pattern. Or you can always go full throttle, and wear the suit with yellow or blue.

The Details: 78 percent cotton, 10 percent polyester, 10 percent rayon, 2 percent spandex | Pants: 30 to 40, Inseam: 30 to 34; Blazer: 36 to 50, regular, short, long

Tips for Buying a Travel Suit

Pay attention to the pockets and the shoulders.

When buying a suit jacket, two structural details you shouldn’t ignore are the shoulder and pocket construction. Callis states that a softer shoulder “is much more versatile than a more built up, padded shoulder.” He’s partial to jackets with more discreet hip pockets. So if you’re looking to get the most wear out of your blazer, avoid flap pockets as they can read way too formal and business-like. “I also push guys to go for patch hip pockets; they'll look a lot better as a jacket worn independently.

Linen will wrinkle

While you can certainly expect linen to wrinkle, we’re still big fans of packing it for travel due to its breathability and breezy, summer-ready look. We love a linen moment for travel during summer or for warmer destinations, because more than any other fabric, linen seems to capture the joie de vivre of vacation. We just make sure to take our favorite travel steamer with us.

There are countless ways you can pack your travel suit, but one of the most trusted is to put it in a garment bag for extra protection. But that can be a more space-consuming strategy. Callis, however, takes a different approach: he suggests wearing your jacket on the day of travel. “I’ve tried every different way to pack a suit and my favorite method is wearing the jacket on the plane and folding the trousers on the top of my luggage,” he says. “That way the trousers stay creased and I lightly fold up the jacket on my lap.”

Most suit pants are very easy to wear on their own for a more casual outfit. But according to Callis, you need to pay very close attention to the jacket in order to ensure that it can be worn separately from the matching trousers. “Most suit jackets make for poor sport coats because they look too formal,” he says. “That’s why I point guys to a slightly textured, matte fabric for a travel suit. The lack of shine will look a lot better with jeans or chinos.”

Why Trust T+L

For this story, travel writer Chadner Navarro scoured the internet for the best-looking suits he would love to wear while on assignment. As a frequent traveler (for both work and leisure), Navarro never fails to pack at least one blazer in his suitcase. (Though he has also brought two tuxedos on a cruise that featured multiple nights with black-tie dress codes.) To add more expertise to the roundup, he also spoke with Proper Cloth head of design Chris Callis for his expert insight.

15 Best Affordable Suits for Men That Make Getting Dressed Up Easy

You know that wedding you have to go to this summer—don’t overspend for it.

While a truly great, affordable suit can be hard to come by (and right now it sounds like you have a lot on your plate), there are still plenty of options out there that will make you look dapper—without spending all of your hard-earned dollars. From classic navy fits to casual tailored trousers , our editors tested and reviewed the 15 best suits that you can buy for under $1,000— talk about one hell of a deal.

Best Travel-Friendly Suit Jacket

Bonobos jetsetter suit jacket.

But don't forget: While weddings are one of the most common places to dress up ( or down , depending on the time of night), we also chose selections that you can wear anytime, anywhere, from the boardroom to the bar. No matter what style you choose—or what occasion you're shopping for—you'll be dressed to impress without distressing your wallet.

This Ralph Lauren two-button suit marries impeccable Italian craftmanship and soft wool twill—so basically, it's a match made in heaven. With rolled lapels and hand-sewn natural shoulders, the overall effect is a clean and tailored look.

A modern spin on a classic sport coat, this Todd Snyder option is great for the guy who wants a suit that doesn't necessarily feel like a suit—I mean, what a flex. It can be worn as a separate with slacks, or...

...you can rock it with the matching pants to look like a whole damn meal.

You'll feel peachy keen in this soft-textured suit jacket designed by Banana Republic. It's perfect for your nine-to-five ( unless you're WFH—this could be a lot for sitting on the couch ), and you can pair it with the matching trousers for a more casual vibe.

Hi, yes, these are the matching trousers.

Suitsupply has entered the chat, and when it comes to affordable, expertly crafted garments, these guys know damn well what they're talking about. This burnt-orange color not only looks good on all skin tones but will make you feel cool and confident.

Mr. P takes great care when sourcing fabrics to ensure the quality of their pieces. Prime example: this linen-and-silk suit jacket. It's smooth, breathable, and comfortable to wear and will be the perfect plus-one for any beach wedding.

Forget a plus-one; grab these tapered trousers and bring a plus-two for the big day. S hhh , just don't tell the bride!

Don Draper, is that you? This striped mid-blue suit will make you feel like you're a charismatic creative director at a Manhattan ad firm— just don't let it go to your head . Cut with low closure and rounded peak lapels, it brings a sportier look to a classic fit.

Whether you have a conference in Singapore or a destination wedding in Sydney, this suit jacket by Bonobos is perfect for those situations when you don't have time to change after your flight. It's beautifully tailored, has a bit of stretch and comfort, and even comes with an interior passport pocket.

Bonobos Jetsetter Dress Pant

And don't forget to throw on the twinning pants for a first-class fit.

J.Crew Kenmare Suit Jacket

Looking for an alternative to the traditional summer suit? This Italian cotton jacket is your fighter. Corded with raised stripes for a distinctive texture, it's relaxed—but still structured at the shoulders—and has unique, contemporary finishes.

J.Crew Kenmare Suit Pant

The coordinating pants will almost finish off your summer style. The only thing that's missing is an Aperol spritz.

Buck Mason Graduate Blazer

I have absolutely no notes for this structured suit from Buck Mason. Crafted with traditional American detailing and Italian cotton twill, it has three patch pockets and three internal pockets and can be dressed up or down (whatever suits your fancy).

Buck Mason Graduate Pant

You know those dreams where you show up to work and forgot your pants at home? Yeah, don't let that be you—remember to buy these slacks when you purchase the blazer above. These pants are lightweight, inspired by traditional Ivy tailoring, and have a uniform appearance, so you definitely won't want to miss out.

BOSS Huge Stretch Suit

BOSS is world-renowned for its versatile collections of modern yet classic styles for business, leisure, and formal events, and this tailored suit is for the man who likes to move. Throw it on and you'll stay comfortable all day, from work to play.

Brooks Brothers Paisley Suit Jacket

If you want to stand out in a sea of navy, this is a surefire way to do it. Paisley has made a resurgence in 2024—gone are the days of it only belonging on your grandmother's couch—and this cotton suit jacket will definitely make a lasting impression.

Brooks Brothers Paisley Suit Trouser

If you're going to rock the paisley look, don't half-ass it; commit all the way and get the matching pants.

Mango Cotton Suit Jacket

We're here to issue a stark warning: Never, and we mean never, disregard a white suit. Now, while it's important to note that not all occasions are acceptable for wearing this style, if you choose it for the right time and place, it can seriously slap.

Mango Cotton Suit Pants

Hopefully you're not the type of person who easily spills (and if you are, honestly, same) because you're going to want to snag this white pair of cotton-and-linen suit pants, too.

The Best Boardshorts For Men To Ride The Waves In This Summer

Share to Facebook
Share to Twitter
Share to Linkedin

Favored by surfers and athletes, the best boardshorts for men aren’t solely reserved for paddling out. They’re also comfortable, versatile and stylish for casual swimming, kayaking, beach days and plenty of dry-land activities. After reviewing a wide range of options, we selected Outerknown Apex Trunks as the best men’s boardshorts overall for their top-notch quality and secure design. Vuori’s Cruise Boardshorts are the most versatile for taking the plunge in and wearing as regular shorts and Florence F1 Burgee Cordura Boardshorts as the high performance pick that all the pros wear. Here’s everything else that we highly recommend for your summer pursuits.

We rounded up the best boardshorts for men to surf in style this summer.

The 8 Best Indoor Herb Gardens To Grow Basil, Mint And So Much More

The 20 best hotels in los angeles, editor’s picks.

Best Boardshorts For Men Overall: Outerknown Apex Trunks By Kelly Slater
Best Comfortable Boardshorts For Men: Fair Harbor The Nautilus Boardshort
Best Performance Boardshorts For Men: Patagonia Hydrolock Boardshorts
Best Lined Boardshorts For Men: Rhone 7-Inch Point Break Boardshorts
Best Versatile Boardshorts For Men: Vuori Cruise Boardshorts
Best Active Boardshorts For Men: Florence F1 Burgee Cordura Boardshorts

Best Boardshorts For Men Overall

Designed and tested by pro surfers, outerknown apex trunks by kelly slater.

Sizes: 28 to 40 | Colors: 12 | Outseam (outside length of the shorts from waist to hem): 19 inches | Pockets: Back zipper pocket | Materials: 89% recycled polyester, 5% spandex, 6% recycled spandex

Designed by World Surf League champion Kelly Slater, Outerknown’s Apex Trunks have been tested in real-life conditions to hold up well to constant pounding. They’re made with four-way stretch and recycled polyester so you can bend and move easily in this pair, and they’re built to last with double-bonded seams. Style-wise, they’re great for everything for a quick jog to a round of beach volleyball. Other thoughtful details include its smooth, anti-chafing finish, zippered back pocket and bungee key loop.

Best Affordable Boardshorts For Men

A classic for less than $40, hurley one and only boardshorts.

Sizes: 28 to 44 | Colors: 29 | Outseam: 23 inches | Pockets: Side flap pocke t| Materials: 100% polyester

Hurley boardshorts are a surfer classic that’s been updated to include inclusive sizing, many colorways and an affordable price. The One And Only pair is cut from super soft suede-like fabric and, with a 22 inch inseam, they’re great for those on the taller side or anyone who wants like a bit more coverage. Some reviewers did say the waist can be tight, so consider sizing up.

Best Comfortable Boardshorts For Men

Stretch fabric and the perfect fit.

Fair Harbor

Fair Harbor The Nautilus Boardshort

Sizes: 30 to 38 | Colors: 7 | Inseam: 8 inches | Pockets: Side pockets, back zipper pocket | Materials: 80% recycled polyester, 12% cotton, 8% spandex

Fair Harbor’s boardshorts put a modern spin on the styles of yesteryear with an ultra-comfortable fit. They’re a classic silhouette cut from quick-drying, naturally odor resistant, water-repellant fabric. They’ve got a hidden zipper back pocket for stashing beach day essentials, two side pockets with built-in water drainage and four-way stretch, so you can hang out in this pair all day.

Best Performance Boardshorts For Men

Stay-put waistband and anti-chafe side seams, patagonia hydrolock boardshorts.

Sizes: 28 to 40 | Colors: 5 | Outseam: 19 inches | Pockets: Side zip pocket | Materials: 87% recycled polyester, 13% spandex

On active days, you want a secure boardshort that won’t ride down on your waist or require constant adjustment. Patagonia’s Hydrolock boardshorts are designed to avoid that pitfall with a snug-fitting, contoured waistband and locking system that keeps this pair firmly in place yet still allows for movement. The bonded side seams also prevent chaffing and the textured drawcord keeps the waist knot secure for an extra layer of security in rougher conditions. FYI: The brand recommends sizing up if you like a more relaxed fit.

Best Classic Boardshorts For Men

Technology packed shorts from an iconic brand, o'neill superfreak 21-inch boardshorts.

Sizes: 28 to 44 | Colors: 6 | Outseam: 21 inches | Pockets: Side zip pocket | Materials: 90% polyester, 10% elastane

O’Neill has been making surf gear since 1952 and the Superfreak boardshorts are a consistent top-seller, largely due to the brand’s patented Hyperfreak side paneling that lends structure and flexibility. Other modern updates include a Hyperthread technology that utilizes soft thread to prevent abrasion and chafing, and a water repellant treatment that reduces drying time for maximum comfort.

Best Lined Boardshorts For Men

Barely-there mesh boxer liner and anti-odor tech, rhone 7-inch point break boardshort.

Sizes: 28 to 40 | Colors: 8 | Inseam: 7 inches | Pockets: Front pockets, back zipper pocket | Materials: Recycled polyester and elastane

Boardshorts are typically unlined to reduce bulk. But if you like the security of a liner or want to work out in your shorts, Rhone’s Point Break boardshorts feature a fine mesh boxer liner along with flat-lay waistband, snap fly and interior drawstring for a streamlined silhouette. This pick is also great to pack on vacation since Rhone’s fabric has anti-odor technology in it, which allows for more wears before washes.

Best Long Boardshorts For Men

Extra length means extra coverage, maui rippers very long 4-way stretch boardshorts.

Sizes: 28 to 46 | Colors: 8 | Outseam: 24 inches | Pockets: Side pocket | Materials: Polyester and spandex

Whether you’re tall or like extra coverage, these Maui Rippers are the longest boardshorts on our list with an impressive 24-inch outseam (the outside length of the shorts, measured from the waistband to the hem). Falling below the knee, they’ll keep most of your legs protected from the water and the sun while paddling or hanging out. They comes in a range of waist sizes and the outseam increases to 25 inches in the larger sizes.

Best Stylish Boardshorts For Men

Unique prints for the style minded, roark shorey boardshorts.

Sizes: S to XXL | Colors: 11 | Outseam: 16 inches | Pockets: Sideseam pocket, back patch pocket | Materials: 49% recycled polyester, 35% polyester, 8% hemp, 8% spandexFor a combo of style and performance, the Roark Shorey boardshorts are a bit more interesting than your average pair. The patterns range from a classic tropical floral to an Amalfi Coast-inspired design . Besides looks, the shorts are outfitted with four-way stretch and a water-repellant finish. Unlike the other options on the list, this pair has an elastic waist (rather than a fixed one) so it’s best suited to more casual pursuits than intense surfing and wave-riding.

Best Versatile Boardshorts For Men

For the beach and beyond, vuori cruise boardshorts.

Sizes: 28 to 38 | Colors: 8 | Inseam: 7.5 inches | Pockets: Front pockets, back flap pocket | Materials: 45% recycled polyester, 45% polyester, 10% elastane

Vuori’s Cruise boardshorts are stylish cut like a regular pair of shorts but are fully waterproof to seamlessly take you from the beach to a workout to lunch and more. The shorts hit just above the knee and have a scalloped leg for improved comfort and they come in solids and subtle patterns for all-day wear.

Best Active Boardshorts For Men

What the pros wear, florence f1 burgee cordura boardshorts.

Sizes: 24 to 38 | Colors: 9 | Outseam: 18.5 inches | Pockets: Side zip pocket | Materials: 64% Cordura, 26% nylon 66, 10% spandex

Made from highly durable Cordura yarns with a triple-needle construction, the Burgee Boardshorts from Florence are designed to withstand serious abuse from the ocean. Tested by founder and surfer John Florence on the North Shore of Oahu, the shorts are built for durability but also manage to have enough softness and stretch to keep you chafe-free. The brand recommends spot-cleaning and hand-drying the shorts to conserve water, reduce microfiber shedding and extend their longevity.

Deputy editor Kari Molvar oversaw the editing of this piece and approved all the picks included in the final cut.

How We Chose The Best Boardshorts For Men

To narrow down the options and help you find the best boardshorts, we researched bestselling boardshorts from both established and up-and-coming surf and swimwear brands. We paid attention to specific features that matter most for boardshorts, including comfort, durability, length and style. To better determine the potential pros and cons of each pick, we also carefully read reviews from real-life users who have firsthand experience with all of the boardshorts on this list.

What To Consider When Shopping For Boardshorts

There are a few key factors to consider to ensure your boardshorts hold up well over time, fit your body and keep you comfortable all day.

Boardshorts typically have a tighter, fixed waist that’s often further secured with a lace-up tie, to ensure they stay on in the event you get tossed around by a wave. However, fixed waistbands tend to be less forgiving and offer less room to accommodate fluctuating weights and rounder midsections. If you opt for a pair with an elastic waistband (like the Roark Shorey Boardshorts ) keep in mind that they may not be as equipped to handle rougher conditions.

Polyester is a common material for boardshorts, thanks to its lightweight, quick-drying capabilities and overall comfort. All the boardshorts on this list are made with spandex or elastane, for improved range of movement in and out of the water. Most boardshorts are DWR (durable water-repellent) treated for faster drying, and have anti-odor properties for frequent wear.

While shorter swim trunks are increasingly popular, boardshorts tend to err on the longer side. The extra length helps to keep legs protected, whether it be from wax on the board (you don’t want to rip your leg hair out) or the sun’s harmful rays. Boardshorts usually fall just above the knee to keep the thighs (which have the most contact with a surfboard) covered.

Most boardshorts have at the very least two front pockets, and it’s not uncommon for many to have a back pocket, too. Some boardshorts even have internal key loops or keyrings (like the Outerknown Apex and Fair Harbor Nautilus ) to keep keys safe and close. If you plan on bringing anything with you into the water, like surf wax, be sure to look for a zippered or flap pocket with a closure to securely stash your belongings. Storing things in a back pocket, though, might not prove the most comfortable when surfing, especially when sitting on your board.

The Best Dressed Men at the 2024 NFL Draft

By Irene Kim

The intersection of sports and fashion has never been more popular, and this past year, many eyes have been on the NFL in particular. The 2024 Super Bowl saw the likes of Travis Kelce , Christian McCaffrey, Isiah Pacheco, and others show up in eye-catching looks, including blinged-out Amiri sets and oversize Birkin bags. The 2024 NFL Draft class proved to be just as stylish at this year’s draft, which kicked off last night in Detroit.

Number one pick, Caleb Williams , wasn’t just the first-round favorite amongst the NFL teams, but also No. 1 in our hearts as he made his NFL carpet debut in a custom Chrome Heart s navy suit that featured the brand’s signature crosses in a glittering metallic silver. (Williams also made sure his mani game was on par for when he would inevitably hold up his Chicago Bears jersey for millions to see on national television.) Rome Odunze, another new member of the Chicago Bears, also arrived dressed to impress for the big night in the Motor City. The wide receiver wore a classic black two-piece from Boss. He chose to keep the suit minimal and let his bling and his playing cards socks be the star of the ’fit.

Linebacker Dallas Turner made the case for color last night with a mint green suit that he paired with a comfortable pair of sneakers. Gold accents accompanied his outfits; as a first-round draft pick, Turner was only aiming for gold—a team color for the Minnesota Vikings which he’ll be playing for this upcoming season.

Jewelry proved to be one of the favorite ways for players to show off their style preferences this season, with JC Latham wearing initial brooches on his suit and Malik Nabers wearing an iced-out “Leek” chain to accompany their tailoring.

Below see all of the best-dressed from the 2024 NFL Draft.

Moscow-City: 7 surprising facts about the Russian capital’s business center

1. Guinness World Record in highlining

The record was set in 2019 by a team of seven athletes from Russia, Germany, France and Canada. They did it on September 8, on which the ‘Moscow-City Day’ is celebrated. The cord was stretched at the height of 350 m between the ‘OKO’ (“Eye”) and ‘Neva Towers’ skyscrapers. The distance between them is 245 m. The first of the athletes to cross was Friede Kuhne from Germany. The athletes didn't just walk, but also performed some daredevil tricks. Their record is 103 meters higher than the previous one set in Mexico City in December 2016.

2. Domination of Europe's top-10 highest skyscrapers

7 out of 10 Europe’s highest skyscrapers are located in Moscow-City. Earlier, the ‘Federation Tower’ complex’s ‘Vostok’ (“East”) skyscraper was the considered the tallest in Europe.

Left to right: the lower of the ‘Neva Towers’ (296 m), Commerzbank Tower in Frankfurt (300 m), Gorod Stolits (“City of Capitals”) Moscow tower (302 m), Eurasia tower (309 m), The Shard’ skyscraper in London (310 m), Mercury City Tower (339 m), Neva Towers (345 m).

However, in 2018, the construction of the 462 meter tall ‘Lakhta Center’ in Saint-Petersburg was completed, pushing ‘Vostok’ (374 m) into 2nd place. The 3rd place is taken by OKO’s southern tower (354 m).

3. The unrealized ‘Rossiya’ tower

If all the building plans of Moscow-City were realized, the ‘Lakhta Center’ in St. Petersburg wouldn't have a chance to be Europe's highest skyscraper. Boris Tkhor, the architect who designed the concept of Moscow-City, had planned for the ‘Rossiya’ tower to be the tallest. In his project, it was a 600 meter tall golden cylindrical skyscraper ending with a spire that was inspired by traditional Russian bell towers. Then, the project was reinvented by famous British architect Sir Norman Foster. He had designed ‘Rossiya’ as a pyramid ending with a spire. The skyscraper itself would have been 612 meters tall, and the height including the spire would have reached 744,5 meters (for comparison, the ‘Burj Khalifa’ in Dubai, UAE, would have been just 83,5 meters taller). Unfortunately, the investors faced a lot of economic problems, due to the 2008 financial crisis, so the ‘Rossiya’ skyscraper was never built. A shopping mall and the ‘Neva Towers’ complex was constructed at its place in 2019.

4. Changed appearance of ‘Federation Tower’

In its first project, the ‘Federation Tower’ was designed to resemble a ship with a mast and two sails. The mast was to be represented by a tall glass spire with passages between the towers. It was planned to make a high-speed lift in it. The top of the spire was going to be turned into an observation deck. But the ship lost its mast in the middle of its construction. Experts at the Moscow-city Museum based in the ‘Imperia’ (“Empire”) tower say, that the construction of the spire was stopped, firstly, due to fire safety reasons and secondly, because it posed a threat to helicopter flights – the flickering glass of the spire could potentially blind the pilots. So, the half-built construction was disassembled. However, an observation deck was opened in the ‘Vostok’ tower.

5. Open windows of ‘Federation Tower’

We all know that the windows of the upper floors in different buildings don’t usually open. Experts say that it’s not actually for people’s safety. Falling from a big height is likely to be fatal in any building. The actual reason is the ventilation system. In a skyscraper, it’s managed with a mechanical system, and the building has its own climate. But in the ‘Zapad’ (“West”) tower of the ‘Federation Tower’ complex, the windows can open. The 62nd and last floor of the tower are taken up by a restaurant called ‘Sixty’. There, the windows are equipped with a special hydraulic system. They open for a short period of time accompanied by classical music, so the guests can take breathtaking photos of Moscow.

6. Broken glass units of ‘Federation Tower’

The guests of the ‘Sixty’ restaurant at the top of the ‘Zapad’ tower can be surprised to see cracked glass window panes. It is particularly strange, if we take into consideration the special type of this glass. It is extremely solid and can’t be broken once installed. For example, during experiments people threw all sorts of heavy items at the windows, but the glass wouldn’t break. The broken glass units of ‘Zapad’ were already damaged during shipment . As each of them is curved in its own way to make the tower’s curvature smooth, making a new set of window panes and bringing them to Russia was deemed too expensive . Moreover, the investors had financial problems (again, due to the 2008 financial crisis), so the ‘Vostok’ tower even stood unfinished for several years. Eventually, the cracked window panes were installed in their place.

7. The highest restaurant in Europe

‘Birds’, another restaurant in Moscow-City, is remarkable for its location. It was opened at the end of 2019 on the 84th floor of the ‘OKO’ complex’s southern tower. Guests at the restaurant can enjoy an amazing panoramic view at a height of 336 meters. On January 28, the experts of ‘Kniga Recordov Rossii’ (“Russian Records Book”) declared ‘Birds’ the highest restaurant in Europe, a step toward an application for a Guinness World Record.

Tour Itinerary:

Red square:.

Russia and Moscow are synonymous with Red Square and the Kremlin and that's hardly surprising as you'll find these places absolutely stunning!

- Walk-through the Resurrection Gate and don’t forget to flip a coin so you’ll be sure to come back one day!
- Visit the world's famous Kazan Cathedral .
- See the State Department Store (GUM), once the Upper Trading Stalls, which were built over a century ago and still operating!
- Admire the lovely St. Basil's Cathedral! The French diplomat Marquis de Custine commented that it combined "the scales of a golden fish, the enamelled skin of a serpent, the changeful hues of the lizard, the glossy rose and azure of the pigeon's neck" and wondered at "the men who go to worship God in this box of confectionery work".
- Walk by Lobnoye Mesto (literally meaning "Execution Place", or "Place of Skulls"), once Ivan the Terrible's stage for religious ceremonies, speeches, and important events.
- Entering the Alexander Garden , you’ll take in spectacular views of Russian architecture from ancient to Soviet times, as well as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with an eternal flame. Watch Changing of the Guard Ceremony every hour in summer and every half an hour in winter.

Kitai-gorod:

Stroll along medieval Kitai-gorod with its strong ancient Russia feel, known for its bohemian lifestyle, markets and arts.

- Nikolskaya Street. Here you will find the Russia's first publishing house, the second oldest monastery, and Ferryn Pharmacy, known as the number one pharmacy back in Soviet times and famous for its Empire-style architecture.
- Ilinka Street. The financial street of the Kitaigorod (China Town) district, where you’ll find the Gostiny Dvor (Merchant’s Yard), which is now a showroom for Ferraris and Maseratis. The street was designed in the 1790s by Catherine the Great.
- Varvarka street. The oldest street in Moscow, which dates back to the 14th century, and still has remnants of early Muscovite architecture, such as the Old English Court and the Palace of the Romanov’s.
- Kamergersky Lane. Only a small road of about 250 meters, it is home to some of the oldest artifacts of the city, as each building holds a fascinating story. Some of Russia's most famous writers, poets, and composers from as far back as the Golden Age of Russian culture, have lived or worked on this lane.

Historic City Center

Walk the historical old center of Moscow with its cool local vibe, including the main Tverskaya street , and indulge in desserts in the first grocery “Eliseev's store” , housed in an 18th century neoclassical building, famous for its baroque interior and decoration.

From our tour. Impressions of our American tourist:

At 3:30, as energy flagged, lunch was on the agenda at a Ukrainian restaurant. Just in time! We asked our guide to order for us. We all had the same thing....borscht (the Ukrainian version has beans and more tomatoes than the Russian version, which has more beets and includes beef).

The special high bread served is called galushki. Our main course was golubtsy...a dish of minced meat rolled in braised cabbage leaves. Both dishes called for optional sour cream as a topping....of course, yes, please....I recommend it.

Full, satisfied, and completely refreshed, it was off to Red Square and St. Basil's and GUM department store. Red Square is not so named because of the color of the brick walls of the Kremlin. Rather the word for 'red' and the word for 'beautiful' are similar in pronunciation....and, there you have it.

As we made the turn by the National Museum in front of which is the mounted sculpture of the "Marshall of Victory," Giorgy Zhukov from WWII and caught our first view of St. Basil's, my friend and I simultaneously emitted "Oooohhhhh!" There it was....the iconic onion domes of St. Basil's! Hooray....it was open until 7....we had about 30 minutes and were allowed in, AND we could take photos with no flash.

Now, I can give you a taste of what we saw in the other cathedrals in Cathedral Square. What we learned is that St. Vasily and St. Basil are one in the same....Russian/English. He was a common man who wandered Moscow unclothed and barefoot. But, all, even Ivan the Terrible, heeded his opinions derived from his visions. Ivan had this cathedral built over his tomb.

As we exited and took photos up close of the onion domes, Inna presented us with chocolate (how did she know we were ready for another energy boost, and we each got a big piece of chocolate. The baby's name pictured on the wrapper of this famous Russian chocolate is Alyonka....the Russian Gerber baby, don't you think?

One could wear out the credit card in GUM's (capitalized because it is actually a government abbreviation), but the 'kitty' and my credit card stayed in my pocket as we strolled through the glass-topped arcade.

We then strolled through some of Moscow's lovely pedestrian streets; paused to listen as a wonderful quartet performed Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" in an underground passage to cross the busy street (hooray!....we DID have our 'classical concert' experience after all; a request Alina tried in vain to fill because none was scheduled those days), saw the Bolshoi, which means 'big' (my friend has yet to recover that their performance schedule did not coincide with our cruise), saw the Central Telegraph Building, dating from the 1930's, and made our way to the Ritz-Carlton to see the night view of Moscow from the rooftop bar, called O2.

There were fleece blankets to wrap yourself in....yes, it got that cold when the sun set. We each ordered something hot to drink...the ginger, mint, lemon tea served to me in a parfait glass (for 600 rubles...about $9....you pay for the view here!) was delightful and hit the spot perfectly. It was time to call it a night....

What you get:

+ A friend in Moscow.
+ Private & customized Moscow tour.
+ An exciting city tour, not just boring history lessons.
+ An authentic experience of local life.
+ Flexibility during the tour: changes can be made at any time to suit individual preferences.

Terrion Arnold outfit: Alabama CB dons Gentleman's Playbook-designed suit for NFL draft

Alabama football cornerback Terrion Arnold arrived at the 2024 NFL Draft with some style and drip.

The Crimson Tide defensive back — projected to go in the first round by USA Today's Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz — was seen wearing a salmon print customized suit designed by Gentleman's Playbook as he walked on the red carpet in Detroit alongside teammate Dallas Turner and J.C Latham.

Arnold was named a first team All-American by the Associated Press this season after finishing with 63 total tackles, 17 pass breakups, 6.5 tackles for a loss and five interceptions. He also added some sentimental pieces inside the jacket.

The Tallahassee, Florida native, had Alabama's motto for this year's College Football Playoff run, "Let All Naysayers Know" (LANK) , sewn on the inside of his jacket. He also had the No. 3, his Alabama jersey number, and a picture of himself playing football as a kid.

Arnold finished with 108 total tackles, 26 broken up passes, six interceptions, 7.5 tackles for a loss, five interceptions, one sack, one forced fumble and one forced fumble recovery in two seasons at Alabama. He redshirted his true freshman season in 2021.
