Creator's Key Takeaways

You can get some absolutely stunning outfits for a fraction of the price that they would cost you in the shops.

It's win-win-win. So, yeah, you know, support your local charity shops and grab yourself a really lovely formal outfit.

Don't wear what you think you should wear. Wear what you're comfortable in. It's your holiday.

If you see something as a man in a charity shop that you think, 'Oh, that looks all right, consider buying it there and then because it ain't going to be there for long.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Shop at charity shops for formal wear to save money and be sustainable.

✓If you are a man, buy good quality items immediately as they sell quickly.

✓Wear what makes you comfortable rather than what you think you 'should' wear.

✓Check YouTube vlogs of specific cruise lines to see what people typically wear.
