Creator's Key Takeaways

Kunard is well known for its dress code, and while it's loved by many, it can also feel intimidating.

My advice would be safe is chinos, tailored trousers, smart slacks or cloths.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say yes, the smart attire, provided it is a smart polo shirt and the rest of the outfit supports it.

Don't ask only, 'Will I be allowed in?' Ask, 'Will I feel as though I belong?'

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check how many gala evenings you have and whether they have themes.

✓Think in layers and combinations for packing.

✓Pack for your itinerary, considering destination-based needs.

✓Put your suit carrier inside your suitcase for security and wrinkle-free clothes.

Feeling intimidated by the dress code — The rules are simple: relax by day, smart attire on most evenings, gala attire on selected evenings.

Uncertainty about gray areas like jeans or polo shirts — Follow the examples and context; safe choices are chinos or tailored trousers, and smart polo shirts can work if the outfit is polished.
