Cruises are the perfect getaway in these times. Bountiful amenities, activities for all ages and the chance to get that summer glow after months of being at home, what’s not to love?
We know that joyful anticipation of getting to spend some well-deserved quality time with your family or significant other onboard, especially since many of us have been staring at our computer screens for months.
But if you’ve been racking your brain to figure out what to bring (don’t forget your sunscreen!), or more importantly, what to wear, we’re here to help. We gathered some cruise-friendly outfits seen on local celebs to ease your distress, so you can focus on having fun and soaking in the sun. All aboard!
Loose dresses are absolutely essential for the days you decide to head to the island. More importantly, you’ll need a generously cut dress for the amazing spread of food aboard the cruise.
An oversized outershirt is great to have on hand as it can easily be paired with any outfit for extra coverage. Take for instance, fashion and beauty blogger Christabel Chua who pulled off a matching top and bottom set.
Of course there’s more to the cruise life than just lying outside and dining in. For activities like trapezing, archery and laser tag, take inspo from the ever-so-chic model-singer, Iman Fandi, with a striking neon sports bra and leggings set.
Though poolside parties and nightclub outings can’t happen right now, you’ll still need a dress for those themed dinners and cocktails at the bar. Opt for a dazzling metallic dress and a simple black purse like host Tyen Rasif.
Maybe intense colours aren’t your vibe or you just want a combo that can go with any situation. Either way, monochrome is the way to go. Keep your look effortless with black and white, and accessorise with some simple jewellery.
Heading out for a brunch date on the deck with your significant other? Channel those summer vibes with a gingham dress like model Fiona Fussi, and throw in a bright bag for that extra pop!
A loose maxi dress will serve as an easy cover-up after your sunbathing session or surfboarding experience.
You know that liberating feeling when you throw on a shirt after you’ve spent a whole day out in the sun? We sure do, so don’t forget to pack your fave oversized tee, like musician Narelle Kheng, and jeans for a look that will never go out of style.
Channel your inner golf dad like DJ Kimberly Wang with a classic collared top and golf skirt combo for a day of miniature golf. Throw in a cap for some extra shade and you’re all set to score a hole in one.
For a more muted dinner look, go for a warm-coloured dress in a soft material like actress-host Naomi Yeo. Add a clutch in a similar shade and you’re ready for an intimate dinner date with your boo.
