It may not be the fashion-hungry city streets of Paris or Milan, but you can still plan to look chic on your next cruise vacation.

Whether you’re stopped at a port to explore or taking some time to relax on the ship itself, there are a number of potential wardrobe situations that you may want to prepare for. While this prospect of playing dress-up may appeal to some, it can also be a daunting task to fit a rolodex of outfit possibilities into one small suitcase or carry-on.

This guide will help you pinpoint exactly what you need to build your ideal cruise ship temporary capsule wardrobe.

The atmosphere on a cruise may be laidback, but a man who prefers to dress up need not despair. If you play it correctly, you can pack your favorite button-down shirts in your luggage without having to worry about a mismatch of outfit tones. A breezy button-top actually pairs rather nicely with a pair of cotton shorts, particularly when you’re pairing a solid color shirt with patterned shorts or vice versa. Luckily, most cruise ships have irons on board, so no need to pack yours.

2. Chino pants outfits for men

Not to be confused with their distant cousin, the khak panti, chino offers a comfy pant without the visible stitches, which gives it a more formal look than its counterpart. With their lightweight fabric and breezy form, we would be remiss to make a list about outfits that are best worn in the sunshine without mentioning the chico. Grab this variety of pants for a quick fix for those “in between” weather days that are sure to happen while you’re out at sea.
