Cruise Outfits Over 50: Elegant And Comfortable Attire

cruise outfits for ladies over 50

This romper jumpsuit makes for a great evening outfit on any cruise itinerary, from Caribbean, to Mediterranean to an Alaska cruise. Don’t forget your accessories like a sun hat and a pair of sunglasses. To avoid your hat getting blown away by the wind, find one with a chin strap. If you are going on a Mediterranean cruise, your ports of call and excursions tend to be a bit different than a Caribbean Cruise.

Check the Weather

They’re gorgeous for day or casual evenings on a cruise. Remember that you can pack lighter by wearing outfits more than once on a cruise. A good tip is to pair a daytime outfit with dressier shoes and some jewelry, and wear it in the evening for a whole new look. Be mindful of formal nights and dress codes, preparing elegant evening wear for those special occasions. In the first photo, I’m dressed for formal night with a sheer sparkly long sleeve jacket, silver sparkly shoes, dressy jewelry and black evening bag. No, it isn’t ultra formal but the understated look fits right in on most formal nights.

When choosing cruise attire, consider factors tailored to your plus-size body, ensuring a seamless blend of style and functionality. Select jewelry that makes a statement yet remains fuss-free. Gemstones like opal, turquoise, and morganite are best for daytime vacation wear. Remember, less is more; a few key pieces can define your look. We report on active travel adventures so that you know what to expect. And I like that dressing up for a cruise is the push that I need to stay healthy and fit.

AWESOME THINGS TO DO ON A CRUISE ON SEA DAYS

This short sleeve dress with pockets is practical and looks nice on ladies of every body shape (thin, pear-shaped, plus size). It comes in several colors and pattern from small- XXLarge. As mentioned, cruise cabins can be quite cozy and have limited closet space, so I recommend bringing magnetic hooks and over-the-door hooks for additional storage. These are great for hanging lightweight clothing, swimsuits, or accessories. Double-check which cruise line you are cruising with to see the exact evening dress code. Now in the early evening after lounging on the resort deck, I like to wear a nice sundress or something a little dressy to have a sunset cocktail in.

Fashionable Cruise Outfits for Ladies (affordable cruise wear)

Add sparkly silver shoes and a malachite necklace and I’m ready for formal night. Yes, I’ll be understated but will still feel that I’m appropriately dressed. Worn loose over black travelers pants, the top looks somewhat dressy.

Kylie @kylish_aus above chooses a classic shorts and shirt outfit and makes sure to protect her face and eyes. Georgette @grownandcurvywoman above (read her style interview here) chooses a red tank top with her palazzo pants. Choose a dress that you can easily pop over your swimwear, but which will also take you from day to night. Rooms on board ships tend to be small with limited space. Although, the big advantage is that, even though you are traveling to multiple destinations, you only need to unpack once! Shirt dresses provide a classic look with a flattering fit, while wrap dresses accentuate the waist for a feminine touch.

Casual T-shirt Dress Tank Style

A pashmina shawl wrap will looks great over an evening dress. I like to have one in black and ivory, however it’s available in several colors. This one piece Cupshe brand bathing suit has tummy control and is very flattering on real women’s bodies.

Do you still have to dress up on cruises?

This beautiful cocktail dress is perfect for ladies over 50. The pattern is crazy and gives a more professional look. Plus, the slit sleeves design makes it a super comfortable party dress. Onboard, you’re not allowed to enter any restaurant or bar wearing that swimwear. So, once you’ve had your fill of sun by the pool, it’s time to throw on some cover-ups. This v-neck chiffon cover-up is the best bet for women over 50, as it’s made of polyester and feels so much more comfortable on the body.

Very cute and casual, this short sleeve romper shorts outfit is a great comfortable embarkation day outfit. Select comfortable shoes for excursions and explore dressier options for formal nights or onboard activities. Adorn your evening wear with pearls or metallics for a touch of glamour. Glamorous clutch bags add a refined touch while keeping your essentials at hand. Opt for a statement watch or bracelet—it’s both functional and fashionable. Remember, accessories not only complement but also complete your nighttime cruise attire.

You probably want to avoid denim as this isn’t the coolest fabric in hot weather. Here’s a pretty strapless dress that will look great in the evening on a cruise, from Celebrity to Norwegian. This 2 piece jumpsuit is with drawstring pants is very flattering and very on trend this year. The long crop top has gorgeous ruffle detail, and pairs well with the loose drawstring pants. This sundress is so cute, with pockets, and available in small to plus sizes.

You can add guidebooks to the destinations you will be visiting as well as novels to read by the pool. The Kindle Oasis (below) is metal rather than plastic, and waterproof in case you splash it while by the water. You want to make sure it is stylish, but that it will keep your belongings close to you. Accessories can make or break an outfit anywhere, and the same applies to a cruise.

You don’t want to be caught off guard and miss out on the opportunity, right? A cruise vacation is unique in that it offers travelers a chance to see so many different places in just a few days. But because you will be spending those days at sea with limited storage space, creating an effective capsule wardrobe with cruise-appropriate clothing is key. Whether you’re sunbathing on the pool deck or out on a beach day, going on a cruise means your packing list will include some swimwear. For women of mature age, this might mean more than just a bikini.

To sum it up here are things you need to think about when packing for cruise outfits. Now there are a few things not to wear on a cruise that pertain mostly to the evening. Flip flops, swimsuits tank tops, and shorts are generally not allowed inside restaurants during dinner.
