yacht rock outfit

Yachty by Nature

Yacht rock outfits, yacht rock outfits 101.

Whether you just discovered the art of smooth or been digging smooth soft rock for a while now, the subject of Yacht Rock Outfits is on your mind. Let me just say, for those about to dock, we salute you. There is an unmistakable moment when Yacht Rock is revealed to you. For me, it happened at a fancy industry party in LA. This fab girl came up and mic dropped it so smoothly to my then 80’s band, Neon Nation , saying “you guys play any yacht rock”? Holy crap, I pretty much spit out my drink and fell to the floor wondering what I was in for.

“You walked in to the party, like you were walking onto a yacht.”

Yachty Attire

The rest is history and I’m now well into 7 years of playing keyboards in a nationally successful yacht rock band, Yachty by Nature . No doubt, I’m living that dream and it goes without saying, I’m deep in the yacht myself. With weekly yacht party after monthly yacht wedding and more, I’m becoming a Yacht Attire expert in thought and practice and already guiding the band and others in this area of fashion.

Truly, if you get the clothing right, enough people with that common goal, just add yacht music and the fun ensues. Truth be told, I’ve watched as a room full of punk rockers that committed to the groovy, eclectic yacht rock dress code transformed like you wouldn’t believe.  They turned a simple celebration with a yacht rock band into a full scale 1978 throwback LOVE FEST and the clothes were off the hook. The energy, the vibe, the clothes, the music became something so magical all its own. Build the yacht and they will sail to it.

So, next time you are having a yacht party or watching your favorite yacht rock band indulge yourself with an epic outfit that will make all it happen. It’s not just the music, the band, the vibe, the look, the energy. It’s the sum of its parts and those smooth outfits have the mighty power to transfix your situation.

The Captain’s Hat…

Yep, you guessed it, the fastest coronation to yacht rock royalty is the Captain’s Hat.  Buy one, make one, bedazzle one or borrow one. In fact, the sky is the limit here so let your creativity reign if you are gonna go for it.  But, just get one somehow, some way and you are on the yacht. In fact, Broner makes a very comfortable, quality, straightforward and good looking hat that fits well.  Additionally, it avoids the cheap fit and look of those basic hats on Amazon. Do yourself a favor, get a hat or dig deep in the vault and find a classic, vintage, or authentic captain’s hat online. Additionally, we’ve seen some pretty cool and unique creations out there, but for simplicity, fit, and value, Broner is the answer.  Lastly, remember what Hefner did for the captains hat!

Yacht Rock Stripes get it done…

No matter what color, stripes will be the 2nd easiest way to begin your yacht fashion transformation. Put on a red and white striped shirt (or blue or black mainly) and you’ll be sailing in no time. In fact, stripes are probably the #1 most sighted outfit at a yacht rock party. Just know that it’s only the start. When you accessorize over the stripes with a complementary pant color or scarf, ascot, belt, and obviously the captain’s hat or more, you’ve earned your captain’s bars quicker than you can say Ship Shape! Don’t forget to keep it simple, too much or conflicting stripes will sink that ship just as fast.

That 70’s look…

Gettin’ Yachty @ Costello’s in Mission Viejo

Due to the strong connection between the silly, the goofy, the fun and the yacht party, going retro will set a course for adventure. Call it the Ron Burgundy effect or just throwing back to the 1977 duds they wore on Midnight Special , this look is uber sexy and may attract the opposite sex faster than any other yacht look. In fact, you don’t have to look too far to find polyester or denim clad jean meat at many yacht rock concerts. Additionally, the fake mustache works wonders whether you go 70’s vintage or any different yachty outfit.  More importantly, get bonus points on your yacht rock outfits if you can get the feathered hair going!  Polyester, print shirts, and for the ladies, buy that disco dress and some fabulous glasses and you’re ready to yacht!

The Yacht Club, Tennis Club, Golf Club…

Think Caddyshack, Marina del Rey, golfing, the harbor, and tennis. Moreso, put a tennis sweater over that polo or even better go up the ladder and put on that navy blue blazer with an ascot and some yellow glasses. Actually, that’s the calling card for us in Yachty by Nature! Pretend that you’re christening the Flying Wasp or dropping anchor with Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack and you’ll be flying indeed. Or even better, watch Caddyshack to get in the mood for your party and let inspiration take hold…and even a few classic movie lines. In fact, if you look around the golf club or yacht club scenes, your creativity is sparked immediately.  The outfits jump right off the screen and wreak of Yacht Club greatness.  Speaking of movies, we’ve even seen a die hard Yachty arrive in the Goldie Hawn outfit from the movie Overboard. Keep your yacht rock outfits classy San Diaaaaaago!

Go Hawaiian on your Yacht Rock outfits…

Get Nauti !

Lastly, this category is a catch all for everything nautical, yachty, and seaworthy.  Use your imagination or stick to the basics.  You can don the captain’s outfit with shoulder bars easily for the Love Boat vibe.  Or, you can just look like Charlie’s Angels coming off a yacht in 1978.  Literally any type of ocean, beach, seaside, or otherwise yachty type of clothing will do.  The scarf around the neck, the boat shorts and the Nantucket red pants and plaid shirt all qualify as supremely yachty fashion.  When in doubt, check yourself by asking, “would I wear this outfit in the summer in Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard?”  Most importantly, if the answer is yes, you are yacht rock camera ready.  In fact, let’s not forget the boat shoes, deck shoes, or Sperry Top Siders all together.

Yacht Rock Outfits Wildcard…

Never forget that there’s really no authority on this subject so you can always just go for it.  Sometimes, the more uniform, standard, and strict we get on the yacht, the more mundane we become.  Therefore, don’t be afraid to dive into the vanity t-shirt, go stripes and ascot, and generally mix it up.  There are no hard and fast rules behind the Yacht Rock outfit, just your creativity and passion for the music.  From experience, we’ll go captain’s outfit one day and crazy boat shirt the next.  Ultimately, we’ve seen it all from the stage and relish the moments when people go wild with it.  In fact, there’s probably even a yacht rock adjacent area for the Pirate Party as well.  Captain Crunch sightings aside, those parties can really bring together the nauti, yachty, knotty by nature and then some.  In the end, go for it and see what happens.  It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eyepatch.  Honestly, it’s all about the fun so get Kraken!!!

As always, let the vibe be your guide.  Thus, for your next yacht rock themed party, concert, or just a Yachty night on the town, get your ensemble going.  Whether you are new to the yacht or an old deck hand, that outfit will crank up the experience.  So, commit to making that statement with your yacht clothing or up your game and improve on the garb you already have.  As we well know, you can never have enough options to mix it up for a fun night with Yachty by Nature or some other occasion.

Happy to be your guide here.  Feel free to comment and add some great ideas on this post or on social media. #yachtrock #yachtrockoutfits #yachtybynature #yachtattire #yachtrockfashion

About Author

Thanks for giving props to Tiki Caliente! I would like to point out that the most proper Hawaiian shirt to wear to a Yacht Rock concert is one that would have been for sale between 1978 and 1983! Think to yourself, would Magnum PI or Pablo Cruise wear this? And if so, bring it on! Most Magnum PI kind of Hawaiian shirts go great with a white jacket and white shorts. Vintage late ‘70s and early ‘80’s Hawaiian shirts can be found Online in Etsy yacht rock shops, and on eBay. Not expensive, and so ”vintage smooth”. Look like a pro, and be “era appropriate”. Girls can find vintage 70’s nautical dresses on Etsy, too!

THIS is everything!!! I love it Carl!!!

Ahoy Jenny! THanks so much for the kind compliment 🙂 As you know, we’re super inspired and love switching up the outfits, attire, clothing, and costumes. Yacht Rock rules!

Awesome show this past weekend at Circa Caliente glad the rain stopped so the show could go on.

*2024* YACHT ROCK vintage party attire for real![16 looks + elements]

Posted on Published: January 5, 2024

• Pinterest 492

Wondering what to wear to a vintage Yacht rock party that screams the 70s and 80s vibes?

You have come to the right place as I’m gonna share all key elements in yacht rock party attire!

First thing first, what EXACTLY is yacht rock? Is that different from the regular yacht party attire?

Broadly speaking, yacht rock is a type of popular music genre in the mid-1979s and ’80s.

It blends soft rock, smooth jazz, and blues with southern yachty vibes that are as refreshing as it’s cozy and chill to people.

In the outfit sense, think of the nautical sailing looks with a dash of good 70s and 80s vintage vibes together with some playful and funky elements.

Ahead, I’ve gathered 16 real-life yacht rock-themed party outfit ideas from Instagram along with some pro tips.

Ready? Get inspired!

1. Fun yacht-themed party attire

If you are looking for a failproof look for your coming yacht rock party, embracing the nautical theme always works wonders.

That said, think white, red, and blue for the classic color palette and corporate it with the sailor stripe details or a small navy anchor print.

Trust me, patterns x patterns in one look can never be too over the top for a wild yacht rock party time!

It’s time to get out of your comfort zone!

Trust me, there’s definitely NOT ENOUGH content for vintage fashion these days

If you are the retro girlies, there’s one thing for sure – you have impeccable taste ❤️

If you find this recommendation useful – please kindly share and pin some of the shoes so more vintage girls like you can enjoy the info!

2. A fun nautical striped top

Some of you may worry the horizontal stripes will make them look bigger.

Well, not the case anymore when you pick the flattering design!

In case you wonder, I love this fitted off-shoulder striped top from Amazon.

As a girl with chubby cheeks, the off-shoulder neckline just elongates my neck and instantly sheds down the boldness of the print like magic.

The best part? The fabric type is 95% cotton and 5% spandex so it’s super stretchy and curve-flattering.

Together with the high-waist jean shorts and nice pumps, you’re bound to feel the fanciest and most feminine.

Check out this gorgeous piece here!

3. A statement captain hat for every look

For the lazy girls who want to look party-ready with minimal effort, I’d say throw on a captain hat to nail the look.

But really, it’s the core element of the yacht rock look of all time!

If you don’t want to look too costumey, pair up the yacht rock look with a cute summer dress and espadrilles wedge just looks equally instagrammable.

Again, to blend in with the crowd, think of bright fun hues instead of the classy neutral nude or dark shades.

5. When in doubt, wear a headscarf

This beautiful lady just demonstrates this hip, headscarf-wearing chic look in the best possible way.

Whether you are going to this yacht rock party or a tropical vacation, this styling just looks irresistibly carefree and tasteful.

To add in some retro flare, spice things up with the colorful round sunglasses that scream the perfect vibes.

6. 80s yacht tie-dye attire

To look the finest in the late 70s soft rock fashion, what about having fun with the tie-dye co-ord set that was all the rage during the 1980s? 

Of course, tie-dye is always in style every few years so you can wear them on a ton of occasions!

7. What to wear to a yacht rock radio party

To stand out from the yacht rock radio party, those Barbie pink palm tree suits are sure to boost the aesthetic tenfold.

And guess what, to dress like Popeye, get yourself a pipe just such an extra pop of fun!

8. A retro sailor top for a yacht rock party

For the ladies who prefer a lowkey yacht rock party look, this top below is another lovely piece.

The elegant boat-cut neckline and the darling ribbon details just highlight the beauty of the figure and make you look curvier visually.

The big plus?

There’s a rubber lining around the neckline to make sure the top is in place. I must say that’s a rare design for this price range!

According to the Amazon review, you want to order a size down. 

9. Hawaiian shirt for a yacht rock party

When in doubt, Hawaiian shirts will give you the right dose of yachty vibes.

That said, picking the right pattern is key otherwise you will gravitate towards the luau party.

Take the right balance of tropical vibes and introduce more marine elements to the look.

When in doubt, searching “reclaimed vintage-inspired beach shirt” or treasure hunting from a thrift store always helps!

The skirt from Lilly Pulitzer is always so darling – obsessed .

10. Funny T-shirt for the yacht rock fun

All the navy party costumes are cliché? Well, think again.

This funny captain hat and T-shirt set just breathe sailing and fun into the personal vibe.

Whether you wear this for the Sunday boat party or just randomly throw it on during the weekend, this piece just screams fun in all different ways.

This set sold out quickly. Check out Amazon !

11. Couple yacht rock party outfits

When it comes to other essentials, khaki short shorts, and a colorful cami top just give the yacht rock attire a modern mix. 

For petite girls, consider pairing up the body-hugging top with wide-leg pants and wedges.

It just contours the body proportion and helps you achieve an effortlessly chic look.

Yes, I’m a born fashionista.

12. One-piece retro sailor swimsuit

It takes me a long time to find the perfect yacht rock swimsuit and I just can’t be any more proud when I find this gorgeous piece.

A swimsuit with a halter neck is a big plus for me as it just comes in extra support and gives your chest the right boast.

With the horizontal stripe on the chest area, the voluminous effect is sure to impress.

As a pear-shaped girl, this swimsuit just flatters my figure in every single way.

13. Fun leaf print captain cap

If you are bored with the classic white and blue captain hat, this one with the leaf print just complements your nautical-themed party in the most distinctive way. 

Those gold embroidered badges on the front just scream “I’ve got a style and I KNOW it”.

Be the chicest captain in the house!

This is so random… BUT

hey ladies, why not quickly do an affirmation and feel instantly better?

This new year, I’m trying not only to share fashion tips but come up with ways to instill body positivity in all women who are reading my articles – aka YOU !

Instead of just reading it, say it loud or murmur the quotes (if you are in public) to maximize the effect.

Ready? Here we go.

I love my body. She is my forever home and sanctuary.

Sassy isn’t a shape, it’s an attitude.

Work out because I love my body – not because I hate it.

I can love myself and change my body at the same time. No guilt about that.

It is completely normal to have tummy rolls. I come to realize that social media isn’t showing the reality… at all.

My happiest moments in life had nothing to do with the way my body looked.

I don’t have to be pretty like her, I can be pretty like …ME.

I AM perfect imperfection.

What are your thoughts on that? I hope that makes you feel better (as you deserved).

Please help me pass the body positivity message in your community. #womenhelpwomen

Alright, now keep on reading!

If you have been invited to a yacht rock party and you have no idea how to dress up for it, don't worry, you're not alone. The yacht rock party trend is becoming increasingly popular, and with that comes the need to look the part. Unlike your typical beach party attire, a yacht rock party requires a different type of fashion sense that captures the essence of yachting in the '70s and '80s. In this article, we'll show you how to dress for a yacht rock party, from the perfect outfits for women to the must-have accessories for men. So grab your anchor bracelets and sail away with us to the perfect attire for your next yacht rock party.

What You'll Learn

Striped polos and boat shoes, nautical themed dress, hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts, white linen pants and loafers, sunglasses and captain's hat, woven sun hat and maxi dress, blue blazer and white pants, strappy sandals and flowy top, cropped pants and espadrilles.

When it comes to dressing for a yacht rock party, there's a certain nautical vibe that you'll want to capture in your wardrobe. One classic staple that fits the occasion perfectly is a striped polo shirt. The thick stripes in navy, red, and white embody the preppy, seaside style that yacht rock is all about.

Pair your polo shirt with a crisp pair of khaki shorts or light-colored chinos to complete the look. If the weather is slightly cooler, opt for a pair of navy or white pants instead. The idea is to keep your wardrobe clean, comfortable, and effortlessly stylish.

As for footwear, boat shoes are the obvious choice. These shoes combine style and functionality and are perfect for a day spent on a yacht or cruising the harbor. Look for a leather or suede pair in brown, navy, or white to match the rest of your outfit. Complete your look with a leather belt and some aviator sunglasses, and you'll be the envy of the party.

If you want to add a bit of personality to your yacht rock outfit, you can always opt for a sweater or jacket with a fun nautical theme. Think anchor motifs, starfish patterns, or sailboat prints. Just make sure you don't go overboard with the theme – the key to a successful yacht rock outfit is keeping it stylish and classic.

In summary, when it comes to dressing for a yacht rock party, keep it simple, keep it stylish, and keep it nautical. A striped polo shirt, khaki shorts, and boat shoes are the perfect combination to embody the laid-back, preppy look that yacht rock is all about. So grab a cold drink, put on your favorite yacht rock playlist, and sail away into a sea of style.

If you’ve been invited to a yacht rock party event, you are probably wondering what to wear. This nautical themed dress code has grown in popularity in recent years, and it is a chic and fun way to dress up for a summer party. The aim of this dress code is to give a nod to the 70s and 80s soft rock era, while keeping things stylish and nautical. As such, you’ll need to choose outfits that fit both of these parameters.

One great option is to go for something navy. A navy blazer or dress is an effortless way to nail the nautical dress code, as is a sailor-inspired theme. A white and navy striped top can be the perfect option for those looking to keep things relaxed and casual, while still sticking to the dress code. A pair of white jeans or shorts, paired with boat shoes or espadrilles, can complete the look perfectly.

Another idea is to wear a pastel-colored dress. This is ideal if you want to project a summery and carefree look. Pastel colors, such as blush pink, baby blue, and mint green, are perfect for the yacht rock theme, and they pair well with earthy tones, such as beige and brown. You can also wear a hat or a pair of sunglasses to complete your nautical ensemble.

Additionally, you can also incorporate stripes into your yacht rock outfit. Stripes are a classic way to capture the nautical essence in any outfit. You can wear a red and white striped blouse or dress, or even opt for a striped jumpsuit with a pair of platform sandals. Alternatively, you can go for a denim sundress or skirt and pair it with a blue and white striped t-shirt.

Finally, if you’re struggling to put together an outfit, you can always play it safe with a white shirt. A white shirt paired with chinos and boat shoes is the perfect attire for a yacht rock party, and it’s always a safe option. You can accessorize with a pair of aviator sunglasses or a straw fedora hat for a touch of the nautical theme.

In conclusion, dressing for a yacht rock party can be a lot of fun, as long as you follow the nautical theme. Keep your outfit chic, elegant, and summery, and you’ll be sure to fit in perfectly with the rest of the partygoers. Remember to accessorize appropriately, and don’t forget to have fun!

Styling Tips for Perfect Senior Yearbook Photos

If you're headed to a yacht rock party, you're likely in for a night full of smooth, easy-listening tunes from the 70s and 80s, a relaxed atmosphere, and, of course, stylish attire. While it's true that boat shoes, straw hats, and linen trousers are popular choices for such an occasion, one classic combo that never goes out of style is the Hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts.

The beauty of this pairing is that it exudes both elegance and simplicity, making it perfect for a yacht party. The Hawaiian shirt's vibrant colors and bold prints give off a tropical vibe that perfectly complements the scenic views of your surroundings. The khaki shorts are a no-brainer, as they are comfortable to wear and versatile. You can dress them up with a blazer or dress them down with a casual t-shirt.

When it comes to selecting your Hawaiian shirt, it's essential to pay attention to the fit. You don't want anything too tight or too loose-fitting. A relaxed, comfortable fit is ideal. Make sure to choose a shirt that flatters your body type. For example, if you're on the shorter side, a shirt that's too long will only make you look shorter. Opt for a shorter cut with a tailored fit.

As for the khaki shorts, you have a lot of options to choose from. You can go for chino shorts, cargo shorts or Bermuda shorts—choose whatever feels most comfortable for you. Just make sure to stay clear of anything too short, as this isn't a swimwear party. Finishing off your outfit with boat shoes or sandals is a great way to complete the look.

In conclusion, if you're looking for an outfit that's comfortable, stylish, and perfect for a yacht rock party, then the Hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts are an excellent choice. Just remember to pay attention to fit and choose colors that complement each other. With this outfit, you'll be ready to dance the night away while looking and feeling great.

Spring Soiree Style: Fashion Tips for Your Next Party

If you've been invited to a yacht rock party, you may be wondering what to wear to fit in with the nautical theme while still looking stylish and comfortable. One classic option is white linen pants and loafers. Not only is this an ideal outfit for staying cool in warmer weather, but it also fits the laid-back yet upscale vibe of the yacht rock genre.

When choosing your white linen pants, look for a pair that is well-fitted but not too tight. A slim-straight cut can give you a sophisticated look while still allowing for ultimate comfort and breathability. Pairing your pants with a tucked-in button-up shirt or polo shirt in a pastel hue can complement the classic and preppy feel of your look.

Loafers are a must-have to complete this outfit. Opt for a light-colored pair in beige or light brown made of suede or leather. This style of shoe not only matches the overall aesthetic of your outfit but also ensures that your outfit is polished and effortless. If you want to elevate your look further, consider accessorizing with a woven belt or a summery straw hat.

It's important to consider the weather when deciding on an outfit for your yacht rock party. As summer is often the season for these events, a pair of white linen pants and loafers can help you stay cool in the heat while looking stylish. If the weather is cooler, consider layering with a lightweight blazer or denim jacket.

Overall, dressing for a yacht rock party can be fun and easy. By choosing white linen pants and loafers, you'll fit in with the maritime theme while looking stylish and comfortable. Don't forget to accessorize with a few nautical-inspired details to complete the look!

If you're attending a yacht rock party this summer, one of the most important accessories you will need is a stylish pair of sunglasses. A great pair of shades will not only complement your overall outfit, but it will also help protect your eyes from the sun's harmful rays while out on the water. Classic aviator or wayfarer sunglasses are a perfect choice for this type of event and will give you a cool, retro vibe.

In addition to sunglasses, a captain's hat is another must-have accessory when dressing up for a yacht rock party. This nautical-inspired accessory will complete your look, and make you feel like you're actually captaining a yacht. Whether you prefer a traditional white captain's hat or a more contemporary style with gold accents, this hat will add a touch of sophistication to your outfit.

Ladies can opt for a flowy, beachy dress or shorts with a cute tank top or a button-up blouse, paired with strappy sandals.

To complete your yacht rock party look, you can add fun accessories such as a statement watch, a leather bracelet or a string of pearl to add a touch of glamour. Additionally, you can opt for boat shoes or white sneakers for convenience. Remember, the key is to look as though you effortlessly pulled together yet comfortable on the high seas. Enjoy the party!

This will create a flattering silhouette that will make you feel confident and beautiful.

When it comes to choosing the perfect maxi dress for a yacht rock party, keep in mind the theme of the event. Yacht rock is all about soft rock, nautical motifs, and 70s glam. So, don't be afraid to go all out with floral patterns, stripes, or bold prints. You can also accessorize your dress with a pair of statement earrings, a chunky necklace, or a colorful scarf.

In summary, for a yacht rock party, a woven sun hat and maxi dress are two pieces that you absolutely can't do without. They're practical, fashionable, and will help you to look and feel your best for the event. Just remember to have fun, enjoy the music, and soak up the sun!

To complete your yacht rock party look, you can accessorize as well. Hats, sunglasses, and jewelry are popular choices to add some flair to your outfit. For men, a fedora or a captain's hat is a great accessory to add to the mix. For women, adding some oversized sunglasses and chunky bracelets can give you a glamorous look.

In conclusion, the blue blazer and white pants are the main components of a yacht rock party outfit. These items are versatile, easy to wear, and can be dressed up or down depending on your preference. So, don't be afraid to let the smooth sounds of soft rock take over your wardrobe!

Off-Road Gear: Essential Attire for Adventurous Excursions

If you are ready to spend your evening in a sophisticated and stylish environment, then you have to choose the perfect outfit that will make you stand out amongst the crowd.

Strappy sandals are an excellent choice for a yacht rock party. They're both practical and classy, and they can easily match any kind of outfit. They also provide the necessary support and comfort to keep you dancing all night long. These sandals are perfect for summer parties, which is why they're such an essential staple in any fashion-forward wardrobe.

Pairing it with slim-fit jeans or shorts can create a more casual and laid-back vibe, and add a light jacket to cater to a breezy night out.

Apart from strappy sandals and flowy tops, you can consider accessorizing your outfit with a statement piece such as a necklace, earrings, or a watch. These accessories can help you make a statement, and they're the perfect way to tie your outfit together. You can also consider a beachy and fun hat or tote to complete your summer look.

When it comes to selecting what to wear to a yacht rock party, it’s important to remember that there are no hard and fast rules. What is crucial is to have a fun and stylish attitude. Confidence is the key to rocking any outfit, and you should choose clothes that make you feel beautiful and empowered. Once you have that, you will be the life of the party.

The perfect outfit for a yacht rock party is a casual and comfortable yet stylish attire. You can wear a classic button-down shirt, khaki shorts, boat shoes, and a pair of aviator glasses to give a cool and effortless look.

While it's not strictly a fashion faux pass, wearing sneakers to a yacht rock party might not be the best idea. Opt for boat shoes, loafers, or sandals instead to stay comfortable, stylish, and in-tune with the nautical theme of a yacht party.

Absolutely! A wide-brimmed sun hat or a classic captain's hat looks great for a yacht party.

Inside: Amazing yacht party outfit ideas that you need to sea

So…you’ve been invited to a yacht party…welcome aboard! As someone who has had the pleasure of sailing the seas and attending my fair share of glamorous yacht gatherings, I can’t help but get excited about sharing some fabulous outfit ideas with you all.

Yacht parties are undoubtedly the epitome of sophistication and style, and choosing the perfect ensemble is a delightful part of the experience. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a first-time deck adventurer, I’ve got some fantastic insights on how to dress to impress while maintaining comfort and charm.

So, let’s set sail on a fashion journey together and discover the chicest and most awe-inspiring yacht party outfits that will make waves and leave a lasting impression on everyone aboard! I am going to be adding these to my 20th birthday outfit ideas , because they are just perfect.

Epic Yacht Party Outfit Ideas + Tips

Before I show you some examples of amazing yacht party outfits, I wanted to go over some of my top tips. This way, these can be fresh in your mind as you go through looking for inspiration!

1. Nautical Chic

Embrace the maritime theme by opting for nautical-inspired attire. A classic white and navy striped shirt paired with well-fitted khaki or white shorts or trousers can create a stylish and relaxed look.

If you are thinking about going a little more dressy, then you can always wear an evening gown that fits under this theme as well! I think the ideas below will help you find what style you are looking for.

2. Light and Breezy

Take it from me…since you’ll be out on the water, comfort is key. You need to choose lightweight and breathable fabrics like linen, cotton, or chambray to stay cool and composed even in the summer sun. I genuinly cannot push this point enough. You absolutely want to be stylish…but you also need to be practical.

Lucky for you, practicality and style actually do have many lines that intersect.

3. Dress to Impress

If the yacht party calls for a more formal dress code, consider a classy sundress for ladies or a tailored blazer over a crisp button-down shirt for gentlemen. It strikes the perfect balance between elegance and leisure. I love any excuse to dress up, so whenever I get invited to a fancier party, I really take advantage of it.

4. Hats and Sunglasses

This one is a subsection attached to tip number two. You are going to be on a boat, so you are going to want to include a cute hat and some sunnies. You can protect yourself from the sun while adding a touch of glamor with a wide-brimmed hat and a stylish pair of sunglasses that match your outfit.

Not only do they serve as practical accessories, but they also exude an air of sophistication. If you are going with your parents, you can look at these mom daughter matching outfits!

5. Deck Shoes or Sandals

Leave the stilettos and heavy boots at home! Opt for comfortable deck shoes or trendy sandals, as they are both practical and in line with the yacht ambiance. I once wore heels on a yacht and went home 4 hours later with the worst blisters I have ever had in my life.

Plus, with all of the swaying, I found myself exhausted from just standing in my heels. This is definitely not the vibe you want to bring to a party.

6. Accessorize Minimally

Keep your accessories simple and minimalistic. A statement piece like a beautiful necklace or a stylish bracelet can add that extra touch to your outfit without being too overpowering.

If you have too many accessories, you may find yourself on the more high-maintenance side. If you are up for that, then you go for it.

7. Neutral and Pastel Colors

Embrace the coastal vibe with a palette of soft and breezy colors. Think whites, pastel blues, seafoam greens, and sandy beiges for a fresh and sophisticated look. If you couldn’t tell already…the whole goal you are going for is sophistication. I mean, this is true for most yacht parties, but it does depend on the person throwing it.

Yacht Party Outfit Ideas –  8. Versatility is Key

Yacht parties often involve different settings, from lounging on the deck to dancing in the evening. Choose outfits that can transition seamlessly from day to night with a few adjustments. There are quite a few outfits like this below, so make sure you keep an eye out for them.

9. Layer Up

Evenings on the water can get a bit chilly, so be prepared by bringing along a lightweight cardigan or a stylish jacket that complements your outfit. This might feel a little counterintuitive, but at the end of the day, I just want you to be comfortable. I have spent one too many nights uncomfortable on a boat. Life is too short!

Yacht Party Outfit Ideas  10. Confidence

Above all, wear your outfit with confidence and a smile! Your attitude is the ultimate accessory, and it’ll radiate positivity and charm throughout the entire yacht party. I think if you listen to all of my tips and tricks from above, you are going to show up to this party the most comfy and confident version of yourself.

I recommend saying some simple affirmations to yourself before you leave your house. You are the life of the party. Everyone loves you. And, of course, you’re outfit rocks!

Throwing a Yacht Rock Party: The Essential Guide

Planning the yacht rock party.

To plan your ultimate yacht rock party with style and ease, you need to start with setting the date and time, creating the guest list, choosing the venue, and creating invitations. These sub-sections will ensure that you have everything in place to host an unforgettable event.

Setting the Date and Time

Planning a Yacht Rock party? Here’s a 4-Step Guide to Setting Up the Date and Time:

• Check Guests’ Availability: Online poll? Ask them directly? Pick a date that works for everyone.
• Weather Forecast: Keep outdoor fun in mind. Check the forecast before confirming.
• Sunset Timings: Natural lighting will add to the ambiance.
• Location Availability: Make sure the venue is free on the chosen date and time.

Summer is perfect for water activities. But be careful of the heat! Aimie learned this the hard way when she planned her friend’s 50th birthday party. So, after shifting to October, the party was a success – drinks, views and jazz music! Remember: invite those who can hold their drink. We don’t need any yacht wrecking balls!

Creating the Guest List

Organizing a yacht rock party requires a perfect guest list! Here’s what to remember:

• Invite people who love yacht rock music and can groove to its smooth tunes.
• Gather pals who enjoy being on a boat or yacht – it’ll up the party experience .
• Choose guests with a good sense of humour – they’ll keep the energy positive !

Make your party stand out with theme-based invitations that look like old album covers .

My first yacht rock party had someone who wasn’t into slow-tempo music. It was awkward! Now I’m more mindful when creating guest lists. Check if they’re genuinely into yacht rock before inviting them – it’s essential for a fantastic party!

Choosing the Venue

Organizing a yacht rock party? Selecting the right venue is key! It’ll set the tone for the whole event and provide a backdrop for your guests to make memories. Here’re some factors to keep in mind:

• Location: Choose a spot that’s easy to reach and with plenty of parking.
• Ambience: Look for a place with a nautical theme or waterfront views.
• Capacity: Make sure it can fit all your guests comfortably.
• Amenities: See what amenities are available, e.g. catering or A/V equipment.
• Budget: Think about how much you can afford and choose accordingly.
• Availability: Book ahead to secure the date and time.

Keep in mind that you want to create an immersive experience for your guests. Add special touches like decorations or hire live musicians to bring your theme alive.

Finally, don’t forget to send out invitations that scream ‘yacht rock’ !

Yacht Rock Party Essentials

To throw an unforgettable Yacht Rock Party, you will need the right essentials. This is where the section on “Yacht Rock Party Essentials” with “Music Selection, Decorations, Dress Code, Food and Drinks” comes in. Each sub-section will provide you with all the necessary ingredients to create the perfect Yacht Rock Party atmosphere.

Music Selection

For a successful yacht rock party, music selection is essential! It’ll transport guests to the 70s and 80s , helping them relax and forget the modern life. Here are some tips:

• Start with the classics – Get the nostalgia going with iconic yacht rock anthems from Hall & Oates, Toto, and Michael McDonald .
• Variety is key – Include jazz-funk, AOR (Adult Oriented Rock), and soft pop sounds for diversity.
• Cover versions – Bring a fresh twist to the classics by seeking out unique interpretations from lesser-known artists.
• Instrumentals – Encourage guests to mingle and chat with instrumentals from big names like Jeff Lorber Fusion or Dave Grusin .
• Ending on a high – Uplifting tracks like Christopher Cross’s “Ride Like The Wind” or Kenny Loggins’s “Footloose” will leave them feeling upbeat.

Live music entertainment or a DJ can keep guests from hearing the same songs on repeat. Pre-plan playlists to guarantee all genres and sparkly rhythms. Get inspiration from curated playlists online provided by expert DJs like Spotify or Tidal .

Transform your yacht into the ultimate love boat with disco balls and a life-size cardboard cutout of Michael McDonald !

Decorations

Transform your Yacht Rock Party into an unforgettable event! Decorations are vital. The right colors, lighting and props can create the perfect atmosphere.

• Inflatable palm trees set a tropical vibe.
• String lights evoke the classic soft rock feel.
• A disco ball in the middle takes guests back in time.
• Mix standees and life-size cutouts of popular yacht rock singers around the party area.
• Choose comfortable outdoor furniture for seating.
• Include nautical elements like compasses, maps or boat ropes.

For extra fun, include hula hoops and vintage record players. Plus, a photo booth with props linked to famous yacht rock songs & lyrics! Dress like you’re in a Christopher Cross music video and get all the decoration essentials you need!

Stressing over what to wear to a yacht rock party? Don’t worry, it’s not so tricky. The 70’s smooth and laid-back vibes are key . Oversized shirts, boat shoes, or loafers to add a chic look. Bell-bottom pants for a casual style. Accessorize with circular glasses or aviators. Add a captain’s hat or sailor’s cap for bonus points!

Bold patterns, like Hawaiian prints or nautical stripes, will help you stand out . Comfort is key – go for lightweight materials like linen and cotton.

Grooming is important too! Clean-shaven for the men and beachy waves or braids for the ladies . Bronzer and lip gloss to finish off the look.

It’s an opportunity to get wild and creative. Have fun and let loose ! Start planning your outfit now and get ready to sail through the night!

Food and Drinks

No explanation needed – this is for a human writer!

• Try to keep the tone light and fun. This is meant to be a playful activity.
• Emphasize the prize for the winner – a captain’s hat and bragging rights until the next party.
• Mention that this is something that can be done with a group of friends/crew – it’s a social activity.
• You can mention a few popular yacht rock tunes (e.g. “Sailing” by Christopher Cross, “What a Fool Believes” by The Doobie Brothers, “Steal Away” by Robbie Dupree) as examples.

Play ‘Name that Yacht Rock Tune’ with your crew. Winner gets captain’s hat and bragging rights until the next party! This fun and social activity is perfect for those who love yacht rock music. Try to guess the song name and artist as soon as possible. Some popular yacht rock tunes to try could include “Sailing” by Christopher Cross, “What a Fool Believes” by The Doobie Brothers, or “Steal Away” by Robbie Dupree. Get your crew together and see who comes out on top!

To make your yacht rock party entertaining and memorable, you need to plan the right activities. In order to achieve this, the section on Entertainment and Activities with Karaoke, Photo Booth, Games, and Activities as solution will provide you with fun ideas to keep your guests engaged throughout the event.

Karaoke is a blast for parties or gatherings! Pick from various songs and genres to sing your heart out. Enhance the experience with stage lighting, costumes and props. Buy or rent a karaoke machine, or get apps to have your own karaoke night at home. Not just solo performances – friends can join in for duets or group numbers.

One unique thing about karaoke is that it’s fun and doesn’t require any musical training . It’s a great way to express yourself, build confidence, and make enjoyable memories with others. To up the ante, try wearing costumes or using props related to the song you’re singing!

• Customize with backdrops, props and print designs.
• Integrate with social media to share pics easily.
• Fun for all ages.
• Some even offer unique experiences like slow-mo videos or animated GIFs.
• Create a themed photo booth for added fun.

At my cousin’s wedding, I was surprised at how much cheer the photo booth brought. Trying out the props and making funny poses was great! But my favorite moment was when all my cousins huddled up for a big group picture – made possible only because of the photo booth!

Games and Activities

Searching for something to keep your guests entertained? Here are some cool Games and Activities that can add fun to your event!

• A photo booth with props and backgrounds for guests to take pictures.

This guide will help you with the necessary preparations for a successful event in this section, ‘Yacht Rock Party Checklist’ with ‘Audio Equipment, Lighting, Tableware and Utensils, and Personal Items’ as sub-sections.

Audio Equipment

For that yacht rock party of a lifetime, quality audio equipment is a must. Here’s what you need for crisp sound:

• Outdoor speakers
• An amplifier/receiver
• A streaming device

Don’t forget the extensions cords and surge protectors , so all your gear stays powered up.

Good audio is only half the battle – lighting is essential to get that ‘yacht rock’ feel.

So start planning a night to remember with friends and family. Get the best audio equipment for your yacht rock party now!

Lighting for your yacht rock party? Endless options! Bright whites and cool blues will make your guests feel breezy. Accent lighting creates a mood and keeps guests engaged. Add some unique touch with Edison bulbs or colourful paper lanterns . Spotlights to highlight beautiful features of the yacht. Don’t forget lighting for safe navigation after the sun sets.

A friend once had a yacht rock party with warm-coloured light fixtures . Cozy ambiance with purple and pink lights plus porthole windows with natural moonlight – magical evening! Plastic champagne glasses too – nothing says ‘yacht rock’ like pretending to be fancy.

Tableware and Utensils

When it comes to hosting a yacht rock party, tableware is just as important as the music and decorations. You want your guests to be transported to the era of smooth sailing. So, opt for classic white porcelain plates and gold flatware . This elegant combo will give your table a touch of sophistication, while still staying true to the theme. Don’t forget the wine glasses and champagne flutes – yachts need bubbly!

Add nautical elements like blue and white striped napkins or sailor knot coasters . For an extra special touch, incorporate seashells or miniature sailboats as table decor . Pro Tip: Use soft lighting like votive candles or string lights to set the relaxing ambiance of a luxurious yacht party. Don’t forget your captain’s hat – you gotta look the part!

Personal Items

Heading out to the sea? Here’s a list of must-haves for your yacht party: Sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, swimsuits, towels, a camera, an extra set of clothes, a power bank, and insect repellent . Remember: pack only necessary items!

I once made the mistake of forgetting sunscreen and ended up with a nasty sunburn! Learn from my mistake and enjoy a memorable time on board. And when you’re done, simply throw all the empty bottles and cheese plates into the ocean – the sharks will take care of the rest!

Cleanup and Post-Party

To clean up after your yacht rock party with ease, the essential guide has got you covered. In this section, you’ll learn about disposing of trash, returning rentals, and sending thank you notes – all simple yet crucial tasks to complete after a party. Stick around to make sure your post-party is stress-free.

Disposing of Trash

Split your trash into recyclable and non-recyclable before throwing it away.

Compost leftovers and organic waste to cut down on landfill rubbish.

Always use strong, un-tearable bags for garbage.

Donate usable items instead of discarding them.

Don’t forget! Poor disposal of trash can be a health hazard and environment hazard.

Also, weigh the bags before throwing them out. Some local governments have fee structures based on weight.

For big events or parties, plan ahead for trash removal to avoid last-minute stress.

Plus, returning rentals is much easier than returning a bad haircut – just make sure to vacuum up the glitter!

Returning Rentals

It’s critical to follow protocol when returning rentals. Check for any damages or missing items before you give them back. Here are some points to keep in mind:

• Inspect rentals for damage or missing items.
• Return all items in the same condition you got them.
• Go back to the original spot or designated drop-off point.
• Use a rental transport service if needed.
• Stick to the guidelines and deadlines in your rental agreement.

Trouble can arise if you don’t return rentals properly. So, be sure to follow all steps and procedures.

Pro Tip: Snap photos of the rentals before returning them. This can help if any disputes arise. Plus, send a thank you note – it’s polite and might help cover up any puke stains in the plant pot.

Sending Thank You Notes.

Show courtesy and respect by thanking your guests after a party. In today’s digital world, a handwritten thank you note can make someone’s day. Here’s how to write the perfect one:

Writing thank you notes takes time and effort, but it’s always worth it. Use high-quality paper and pen to express your personality. If someone did something extra special, send them an extra-special thank you note with a token of appreciation.

Pro Tip: Hand-deliver your thank you notes to make your guests feel even more appreciated.

What to Wear to Yacht Rock Concert?

Author Edith Carli

Posted Dec 4, 2022

When it comes to dressing for a yacht rock concert, you have one main goal: look cool and stay comfy. The great thing about the yacht rock aesthetic is that there are so many options that fit this standard! To really get in the nautical mood, try incorporating pieces like boat shoes, blue and white stripes, plaids, and denim into your look. Cargo shorts or navy trousers can be paired with an embroidered golf polo shirt for a classic vibe. Accessorize with some aviator sunglasses or a captain’s hat if you’re feeling extra inspired! A structured blazer in different shades of blue can bring your outfit up another notch while still keeping it stylishly simple – perfect for lounging on deck with friends during summer evenings. When temperatures drop as the night progresses, sweep away toasty in a wide-cut crewneck pullover or cozy up in your favorite slouchy cardigan. Completing this look will take sailing tickets by storm!

What type of clothing should I wear to a yacht rock show?

What type of outfit is appropriate for an event with a yacht rock theme, what should i wear to be appropriately dressed for a yacht rock concert.

If you’re planning to attend a yacht rock show, then it's important to choose your outfit carefully. The music and the mood of these shows have a vintage throwback feel so while the dress code can be quite general, it's best to look out for something that won't look out of place.

The best way to start when picking out an outfit is by thinking nautical – but it doesn't have to mean full-on sailor attire! There is enough scope to give off subtle marine vibes with cropped jeans paired with with striped shirts or crew neck sweaters; for ladies you can opt for fun wrap dresses in cotton or linen with wedges or sandals.

You should definitely avoid wearing anything too casual like sneakers or denim shorts - instead, pick comfy shoes that go well with your chosen outfit such as loafers or espadrilles. Accessorize further by throwing on some aviator sunglasses and a captain hat if you're going all nautical! Finish off the look by adding seaside jewellery like shell necklaces and starfish earrings - this will definitely give your fit extra charm.

Take into account that most venue guidelines don't permit high heels and flip flops, so opt for something that still looks fashionable but also complies with their rules. Finally, remember not everything needs matching – mix and match different fabrics together in neutral colours like beige, navy blue and white which will match perfectly well even if they don't come from the same brand or collection!

Going to an event with a yacht rock theme means taking a stroll down memory lane and rocking out to some classic hits from the genre. When it comes to picking out what to wear, there are a few options that can work. Start by looking through your closet and see if you already have some items that fit the bill. If not, you will want to look for vintage thrift and second-hand stores for key pieces or shop online at sites like Etsy.

To get started, start with simple staples like tight-fitting jeans or trousers paired with a solid colored polo shirt, t-shirt, or tank top in pastel colors like powder blue and peach. You could also add an optional suspenders look by adding suspender clips onto your pants - it gives off the perfect yacht rock style!

The next important piece is footwear! Go for boat shoes in tan browns or classic sandals - both would work great with your outfit! For accessories that hint at summer days on the shoreline add aviator sunglasses, colorful beads around your neck (think Rum Runner style), rings of gold (for homages to Captain Sullenberger), bright anchor belts and sailor hats if desired. All these items complete this cool vintage look when attending an event centered around boat tunes from the '70s and '80s! Enjoy cruising on this musical voyage back in time...

Heading out for a yacht rock concert? That sounds like you’re in for a night of non-stop music and great vibes ! Whether you’re in the mood to dress up or keep it casual, there are plenty of options when it comes to finding the right concert look.

When dressing for this kind of gig, aim to keep your style preppy and pulled together while still allowing you to move around and have fun. To help give yourself a polished look without losing comfort, start with basics like white chinos or gingham shorts when building your outfit. Top those off with an oxford shirt or patterned polo – either is sure to add touches of boat-y goodness that go along perfectly with the music. Feel free to finish off with some boat shoes or loafers if padding across the dance floor is on your agenda!

A lightweight summer blazer can be just what you need if stepping ashore doesn’t involve getting too hot – they always come through looking sharp while also providing necessary coverage on windy nights out at sea. Meanwhile knit sweaters are also an ideal pick that bring warm layers should they be required while keeping things comfortable throughout the night thanks to their breathable material.

For accessories think cute bandanas in navy blues and lifebuoy reds as well as lighthouse printed hats which both ooze seaside charm; these picks spice up any look but will still let everyone know what genre inspired them!

To top off your yacht rock look handkerchiefs spotted from navy anchors might been fitting but don’t forget other prints such as palm trees, stars and subliminal nautical motifs all work together perfectly too - these fabrics showcase all those amazing elements of throwback summer chic so really make sure those details shine through when considering allying choices for extra sartorial points !

Are there any specific fashion rules when attending a yacht rock event?

If you're thinking of attending a yacht rock event, it's important to put some thought into your outfit. Yacht rock is an homage to the music and fashion of the late 70s and 80s, which means bright colors and classic looks take center stage. Here are a few ways you can have your wardrobe reflect the spirit of the genre:

1. Stick to lightweight fabrics – Soft linens, eyelet cottons or breezy seersuckers evoke a laidback island aesthetic that goes well with breezy yacht rock tunes. For bonus points, look for subtle tropical-inspired prints like palms or sailboats for some subtlety patriotic flair!

2. Keep it Classic– While experimenting with bold silhouettes is never out of bounds at yachting events, opting for timeless silhouettes like boat necklines paired with light khakis will add an air of sophistication to any look.

3. Wear bright colors – To really fit in with the vibe of a yacht rock party opt for the classic pastel shades such as coral pink and baby blue; they’ll make you stand out without going overboard (no pun intended).

4. Accessorize! – Complete your ensemble by adding nautical-inspired items such as brightly patterned scarves, sailor hats or statement jewelry—all elements associated with yacht rock music culture that will instantly elevate your look

Overall keep in mind that dressing up should be fun so feel free to experiment and have fun finding pieces that work together! Remember serviceable style is key—you don't need super expensive items but if everything comes together nicely you'll still come off looking sharp on deck!

Is there a dress code for attending a yacht rock gig?

Going to a yacht rock gig is a great way to experience a unique musical style, but it's important to make sure you are dressed appropriately for the occasion. The good news is, there really isn't a strict dress code for most yacht rock gigs . Whether you choose to go casual or opt for something dressier, your outfit will reflect the laid-back atmosphere at these gigs.

For starters, if you're worried about what clothes to wear, pick out something comfortable that allows you to sing along and boogie down when necessary. This might be an old concert t-shirt and worn-in jeans or shorts - whatever works best for your body type and personal style. Women can get away with wearing cute prints on flowing skirts and maxi dresses while men may want incorporate some breezy shorts into their look. Whatever look you decide upon, know that fashion choices will vary from person-to-person depending on their own personal taste!

Additionally, footwear is also very important at yacht rock shows – think comfortable sneakers as opposed to high heels or other hard soled shoes such as loafers – though feel free to wear flip flops if that’s what makes most sense considering the airy nature of this music genre! Ultimately remember: upscale dresses certainly work well but focus should be placed on finding an outfit that lets your dance moves shine! Afterall - this isn't football season where uniforms are mandatory ;)

At the end of the day there’s no wrong or right choice when it comes dressing for a yacht rock gig so don’t stress too much about your attire - because looking stylish doesn’t have beat enjoying yourself with other passionate fans in true smooth sailing fashion !

What should I avoid wearing to a yacht rock show?

If you’re planning to attend a yacht rock show, then getting dressed for the occasion should be taken just as seriously as the music. While these shows often have a dress code that demands respectability , there are some items of clothing that should never be worn no matter what.

First and foremost is any kind of athletic or sports attire such as sweatpants, football or basketball jerseys and the like. Not only does this type of attire distract from everyone in their glammed out party clothes but it detracts from the entire atmosphere. Keep it classy and casual - wear something more suitable like clean jeans, chinos or slacks with a shirt or button-down for guys and for women - opt for sun dresses, maxi skirts/dresses, jumpsuits or blouses with trousers if desired. Bright colors can really make your outfit stand out but stay away from anything overly revealing!

Secondly – avoid donning heavy jackets unless you know there’s an outdoor section at this yacht rock show where you plan to socialize outside in the evening coolness (unlikely). Not only will such jacket encumber your movements on board the ship but they can be downright annoying when there are already too many people dancing to uninterested bodies jostling up against one another in order to get pasted into cramped corners on board!

And lastly – whatever accessories become part of your ensemble no matter how small – give thought to wearing them on purpose rather than by accident! Wearing jewelry sets associated with gangs is not recommended so its best people leave those medallions and oversized rings at home (or better yet back in their cases!). It also goes without saying - choose footwear that has good grip on slippery surfaces: No flip flops allowed!!

😎By avoiding uncomfortable clothing situations at yacht rock shows, not only do we remain respectful of other attendees who come to dance but it also allows us all have an unforgettable time.

The Sailor's Style Guide: How to Dress at a Yacht Club

If you've been invited to a casual yacht club rendezvous, you'll need the right threads to fit in.  in this guide, we'll walk you through the yacht club attire you'll need to fit in. hint: you can find the perfect outfit head to toe with castaway.

You've been invited to a meal or event at a local yacht club, but you've never been to one before. Suddenly, the panic sets in. What should you wear? Fortunately, there are lots of options and visiting a yacht club does not mean you have to spend a lot of money just to fit in. This post will give you some pointers on yacht club attire so that you feel neither under nor overdressed, and can really enjoy yourself and have a great time at the club.

Before you even think about what to wear, check to see if the yacht club you're going to has a dress code posted online. Most of them do, and the rules can vary from club to club. The Nantucket Yacht Club , for example, requires semi-formal attire for its dinners and cocktail attire including ties for men during its dinner dances and balls. The Hyannis Yacht Club goes into a little more detail. It accepts stylish casual wear including clean, neat jeans and shorts for lunch. For dinner, guests are expected to step it up by leaving the denim at home and wearing sports coats. Different areas of a club may also have different dress rules. Bars and outdoor decks tend to more lax and allow casual clothing.

Sometimes, the easiest way of narrowing down what to wear is to eliminate what you should not wear. This is just a partial list of how not to show up at any kind of yacht club unless you want to be denied admittance or receive a lot of disapproving glares. All rules listed apply to the inside of the club, and can vary for beach and dock rulings.

Flip Flops or Going Barefoot: This rule applies INSIDE the club, or for any meal time. Most people love the beach, but going barefoot is not only unacceptable, but unhygienic.

You'll want to wear appropriate footwear such as sturdy sandals or closed toe shoes. While a lot of children and adults love their flip-flops, they may be a little too casual for a yacht club atmosphere. The most popular choice here is a boat shoe style but a bridle bit driver is always appropriate - check the latest . The lightly worn leather and pencil-curled laces fit the bill in the cool department.

Torn, Stained, or Worn Clothing: Any attire that is showing signs of wear such as rips, stains that never came out, holes, missing buttons, etc. should be left at home.

Baseball Caps and Other Hats: Most yacht clubs prefer that men remove their caps when inside the venue. Save them for the sailing excursions.

Extra points on the water if you rock the Club’s Burgee on the hat!

Swimwear: Just a no-no. Save it for the boat and the beach. A cover-up can be acceptable for the patio.

Going Shirtless: Nope!

Undershirts as Shirts: See above. You may also want to be careful about choosing a t-shirt, particularly one with graphics, when visiting a yacht club. Most prefer that you wear a collared shirt, even if it's a casual one such as a polo shirt.

Tank tops for men and any tank tops for women that are skimpy and don't hide undergarments should be saved for another occasion.

Women have a lot of options when it comes to visiting a yacht club. Linen and cotton make the perfect summer blouses. A light but structured Sleeveless Top paired with a  sweater is perfect for warding off cool sea breezes when you're out on the deck. A polo or collared shirt works well for the yacht club scene as well. You can also consider a dressy blouse that has a little bit of flounce to it. If shorts are allowed for the time and area of the club you're visiting, consider sporting  Sailing  shorts  with a cute anchor embroidery. They're cool, classy, and show off just the right amount of leg. Casual skirts and dresses are perfectly fine as well as long as they're not too short and revealing. If you're attending a party at a yacht club you may need to wear a nice cocktail dress, or a classic Tunic Dress for a day event. Special events such as balls and dinner dances usually specify what is appropriate attire on the invitation.

Don't forget to have fun with accessories! A straw handbag can complete a nautical themed look.

For most casual yacht club occasions, men can't go wrong with a collared shirt and long pants or Cisco Shorts . Pastel and preppy shades such as summer green, hurricane red, and islander blue rule here.

When casual attire is allowed, collared sport or polo shirts are always in fashion. Seersucker and linen shirts are available in several colors and patterns for summer club get-togethers. If jeans are not allowed, seersucker or cotton canvas pants are still casual and comfortable yet dressy enough for all areas of a yacht club. If you really want to show your love of nautical dressing, consider wearing a fun Embroidered Pant !

Or you can opt for solid pants but add some nautical flair with an embroidered belt . Classic summer staples like Seersucker and Madras Patches will make you the talk of the Club, in a good way!

For those chilly sea breezes and evenings, a quarter zip pullover wards off the cool air while keeping you stylish and casual.

It's a good idea to keep a sportcoat and a few ties in your closet just in case the yacht club you're visiting requires it. Opt for a fun all over embroidered jacket, or a Madras Patchwork style to really up your game.

Kids' clothing should conform to the same yacht club rules as established for grown-up guests. If you really want your son to look cute, consider dressing him in the same matching outfit as dad.

Yacht Outfit Guide: Classy and Chic Maritime Adventure

Triston Brewer

Posted on: August 23, 2023

Attending a yacht party calls for a blend of sophisticated style and relaxed elegance, capturing the essence of the nautical setting while ensuring your comfort and confidence.

Whether envisioning a glamorous sunset cocktail party, a leisurely sunbathing session, or a serene exploration of hidden coves, curating the perfect yacht ensemble becomes an art.

This guide navigates the realm of yacht fashion, offering insights and inspiration to ensure you’re impeccably dressed for every moment of your nautical experience.

From chic essentials that capture the essence of oceanic elegance to tips on selecting attire that harmonizes with both sea and sky, the following are the style essentials to elevate your yacht experience to unparalleled heights.

Yacht settings generally adhere to a semi-formal dress code, implying that items like shorts, flip-flops, or t-shirts are best avoided. Instead, consider selecting slacks or khakis for men; sundresses, jumpsuits, or skirts are excellent choices for women.

When in doubt about your attire, it’s preferable to lean towards a more polished appearance rather than a casual one.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When dressing for a yacht outing, opt for a nautical-inspired ensemble. Consider wearing a crisp white shirt paired with tailored shorts, boat shoes or espadrilles, and a sun hat.

This classic look combines comfort and style, suitable for both genders, while capturing the essence of a yacht setting.

Before finalizing your outfit for the boat party, there are a couple of factors to consider, with the first being the prevailing weather conditions. If the temperature is soaring, opting for lightweight and breathable fabrics is paramount.

Donning stylish swimsuits is integral to yacht party attire, accompanied by chic cover-ups and delicate, breezy dresses or shorts. By skillfully coordinating these elements, you can effortlessly master the art of yacht-worthy fashion.

However, in the event of cooler temperatures, ensuring you’re well-insulated is imperative. Being caught unprepared amidst the vast ocean during fall or winter could prove quite uncomfortable.

Moreover, regardless of the schedule, having a sweatshirt or a light denim jacket at the ready is prudent, particularly when the night descends.

The maritime environment can turn quite chilly after sunset, especially during the colder months.

Furthermore, your outfit choice should be tailored to the specific activities planned aboard the yacht. If your plan revolves around leisurely moments on the boat’s deck, a combination of shorts and a T-shirt layered over a stylish bikini is likely suitable.

However, should water sports be part of the agenda, selecting attire that remains relatively dry and light prevents any undue discomfort caused by excess moisture.

Lastly, take into consideration the overarching ambiance of the yacht setting. For a laid-back gathering, opting for a more relaxed outfit is acceptable.

However, if the occasion leans towards a more refined tone, it’s essential to align your attire accordingly.

Midi or maxi dresses and stylish rompers and jumpsuits are excellent choices that seamlessly blend sophistication with style.

Essential attire for women at a yachting event includes cover-ups, tunics, kaftans, and dresses with a fluid, breezy quality. These pieces harmonize seamlessly with swimwear, offering both a stylish layer and a means of keeping cool and comfortable.

Opting for a maxi or lace cover-up exudes an elevated charm, while selecting a sundress cover-up or a romper lends a more relaxed aura. For everyday yacht wear, consider the practicality of linen dresses and side tie skirts, both of which effortlessly complement the maritime experience.

No looks exudes the maritime quite like a cover-up, and these lightweight garments serve as a stylish and functional layering option when transitioning between water-based activities and lounging on the beach or on a yacht. Cover-ups are typically made from materials like chiffon, cotton, linen, or lightweight knits, which make them breathable and comfortable in warm weather. Moreover, cover-ups offer protection from the sun’s rays while maintaining an air of sophistication. The following are common cover-ups for women:

With their loose and flowing silhouettes, tunics further amplify a great seaside look. They often feature intricate designs, embroidery, or patterns and can be made from lightweight materials like cotton, linen, or sheer fabrics.

Tunics provide coverage for the upper body while allowing air to circulate, keeping you cool. Their effortless charm pairs well with the nautical backdrop, allowing women to exude both comfort and elegance.

Kaftans are loose-fitting, maxi-length dresses with wide sleeves, often made from flowing fabrics like chiffon, silk, or lightweight cotton. Kaftans can be quite elegant and are popular for their bohemian vibe. They offer women full coverage and the ultimate in  comfort during warm weather.

Slay it with a sarong!

Typically made from lightweight, quick-drying materials like rayon or silk, sarongs are versatile pieces of fabric that can be wrapped around the waist like a skirt, tied as a halter dress, or used as a shawl. Sarongs are easy to pack and provide coverage while allowing flexibility in styling.

Inspired by traditional Japanese clothing, kimonos are open-front, flowing garments that often feature vibrant prints and patterns and are made from lightweight materials.

Kimonos are distinctive, add a touch of elegance, and can be worn over swimsuits or paired with shorts and tops.

Oversized Shirts

For a more casual approach, an oversized button-up shirt can be worn as a cover-up. It’s a versatile option that can be worn open or buttoned up, offering coverage and protection from the sun.

Play up the look with vibrant colors or intricate patterns for an engaging yacht style.

Is a cocktail dress a suitable choice for women?

For occasions leaning towards the more refined end of the spectrum, a sophisticated yacht party might very well warrant the selection of a cocktail dress, or in rarer instances, an elegant gown. The cocktail dress code, being slightly less formal than full evening wear, aligns well with such gatherings’ relaxed yet stylish atmosphere.

Ideally, the event’s formality level will be communicated beforehand, but exceptions do exist.

When the ambiance is less formal than a boat wedding, alternative options like wide-legged pants, rompers, or wrap skirts can be considered. Attire resembling what you would choose for a beach or poolside gathering would also be fitting.

An essential consideration when attending any yacht event is the choice of footwear. It’s advisable to steer clear of heels – opting for flat shoes is a safer and wiser choice to ensure a comfortable and accident-free experience.

Yacht Shoe Ideas for Women

Accessorizing

Donning both hats and sunglasses is entirely fitting aboard a yacht, and they provide an added shield against the sun’s rays, which is undoubtedly beneficial.

Not only will you seamlessly blend in, but you’ll also be safeguarding your eyes and skin from potentially harmful UV exposure. Including sunscreen in your essentials is equally crucial to ensure comprehensive protection.

Amongst men, the favored ensemble for yacht journeys in motion often comprises a breezy, lightweight linen shirt, offering both comfort and composure throughout the excursion. Naturally, a pair of swim shorts is indispensable, ensuring you’re perpetually prepared for impromptu dips.

Completing the ensemble, opt for casual boat shoes that complement your yacht attire seamlessly.

Stylish sunglasses are essential to the maritime look as a vital accessory, effectively shielding your eyes from the sun’s glare.

While specific occasions may necessitate more refined apparel, such as dinner parties, these suggestions primarily focus on curating a laidback, relaxed aesthetic.

Linen button-downs stand as the preferred choice for men while onboard due to their lightweight and breathable nature.

They have long been associated with boating, ensuring a harmonious fit within a yacht environment. Light cotton options also offer similar advantages, with items like polo shirts seamlessly blending into a crowd.

Even a well-chosen t-shirt can find its place, though appropriateness should be tailored to the context. However, a slightly elevated appearance may be preferable for slightly more formal outings or celebratory gatherings.

A great pair of tailored pants are a definite option for a day or night out on a yacht. Linen pants , chinos, or loose slacks are all versatile enough for any event.

Yet, a reliable pair of shorts proves invaluable if the yacht’s purpose involves active endeavors like fishing or sailing.

These offer comfort and freedom and ensure readiness for any unforeseen water-related situations.

In the realm of yacht wear, swim shorts emerge as a particularly pertinent item, given the likelihood of aquatic escapades. Whether you find yourself plunging into the Mediterranean or relaxing a jacuzzi, shorts are a pragmatic must-have.

Be it for leisure or the potential of an emergency scenario requiring a swift swim, swim shorts serve both purposes seamlessly.

Ensuring both security and comfort, boat shoes are an indispensable inclusion for any yacht experience as they prevent unwanted slipping on the deck. Sometimes referred to as deck shoes, they closely resemble loafers but include laces for added practicality.

For more relaxed outings, some opt for flip flops, which can be suitable for casual days spent with friends.

Accessories

Wearing sunglasses aboard a yacht transcends mere fashion, assuming the role of a vital shield against the sun’s unyielding glare and potentially harmful UV rays. As you sail on a maritime journey, these shades emerge as a reliable companion, diligently safeguarding your eyes from discomfort and potential long-term harm.

Whether you’re leisurely absorbing the sun’s warmth or actively engaging in water-based thrills, sunglasses exude an undeniable air of refined elegance, effortlessly elevating your yacht ensemble.

What Is Suitable to Wear to a Yacht Party?

Crafting the perfect attire for a yacht party involves a skillful equilibrium among comfort, style, and functionality, seamlessly embracing the maritime setting.

Embracing an effortlessly chic and laid-back approach, the careful curation of your outfit can significantly enrich your voyage across the waves.

Deciding on fabrics that prioritize breathability and lightness, such as linen or cotton, ensures your ease amidst the sea breeze. In the backdrop of daytime gatherings, a palette of soft and pastel hues, including serene blues and delicate pastels, imparts an invigorating and lively ambiance.

Opting for a versatile piece like a fashionable sundress, coupled with boat shoes that perfectly balance comfort and trendiness, encapsulates the essence of casual sophistication.

As twilight descends and the festivities extend into the evening, embracing darker shades introduces an element of refinement, harmonizing with the fading sunlight.

The thoughtful inclusion of tasteful accessories, like a wide-brimmed hat for enhanced sun protection and stylish sunglasses that shield your eyes and accentuate your maritime charisma, further elevate your ensemble.

Ultimately, the crux lies in aligning your attire with the occasion’s level of formality, while never compromising on comfort, and embodying an aesthetic that mirrors the serene allure of open waters.

Final Considerations

Embracing a fusion of refinement and casual ease emerges as a simple and effective strategy when considering yacht attire. While certain occasions might warrant a subtle refinement, the extent of this shift hinges upon the unique event and the preferences of the hosts.

Give precedence to fabrics like linen and other lightweight options to optimize comfort. An indispensable element to include is a pair of boat shoes, guaranteeing stability on the deck. Additionally, ensure you don’t neglect key essentials such as swimsuits and vital sun protection gear, which notably includes sunglasses.

What to Wear in Russia

Last year I wrote a post called What to Wear in India , and since then it has become one of the most popular articles on this blog. I don’t talk about it much on here, but fashion is a huge part of my life. Not as much as travelling, of course, but it’s still pretty important. I love that clothing can be like art, and can make you feel confident, empowered, and, best of all, like a representation of who you really are. Both when travelling and in day-to-day life, I tend to dress in bright colours and/or interesting shapes. I’m also a huge fan of piling on accessories – whoever said to take off one accessory before you leave the house clearly never met me, because I usually add two or three at the last minute.

But why am I ranting about fashion on a travel blog right now? Well, because I’d like to incorporate more fashion (specifically travel fashion) on the blog in general. I get a lot of emails about what to wear in certain places – plus I’m a huge fan of shopping locally and incorporating local style into your wardrobe. That being said, expect to see a few more “What to Wear In” posts here. And why not continue the series with Russia?

I have been to Russia twice – once in 2007, when I spent a summer volunteering and teaching in Yaroslavl, and in 2010, when I took the Trans-Siberian across the country in late autumn. What’s important to note when you consider packing your suitcase for Russia is that summers can get quite hot, and winters… well, winters can get very, very cold. Not only that, the cold weather can last from September to May, so it’s best to always pack a few warm pieces in your suitcase, no matter when you visit the country.

With the exceptions of perhaps Moscow and St. Petersburg, most of Russia dresses quite casually throughout all seasons, so if you just want to bring jeans and a few sweatshirts, you’ll be fine. I’m not exactly a jeans and sweatshirt kind of girl, so here are a few outfits I wore during my time in Russia.

Trying to look cool but just coming across as grumpy

Please note that, whatever I was wearing, every single person assumed I was Russian, even if I repeatedly said, “I don’t speak Russian” (in Russian, so I kind of get why it was confusing for some people). I blame my Russian heritage, but maybe it was because I also kind of dressed the part. Anyway… here’s what to wear in Russia, starting with the warmer months and then the colder months. This guide is for women, but men can easily adapt a lot of this advice.

What to wear in Russia in summer…

So I know that I just said that I’m not a jeans and sweatshirt kind of girl… but guess what, I lied. Okay, not really, this was when I was teaching and so we had to be able to run around with kids (also, this was eight years ago, and I am still shuddering about that haircut/colour). Jeans, and denim in general, are very popular in Russia – while the girls pictured with me are teenagers, they’re wearing very typical outfits seen across the country. Throw on a pair of jeans with a t-shirt and you’ll be good to go. I’m also a huge fan of denim jackets, and consider them to be an essential piece of a travel wardrobe. Not only can they keep you warm, they’re stylish practically everywhere in the world. I would also recommend bringing a light cardigan or two, as summer nights can get a bit chilly.

And just in case you didn’t believe me that denim is popular in Russia, here is  an entire family dressed almost entirely in denim . I have waited years to be able to post this on my blog and I am so happy that today is the day. The Canadian tuxedo is real, folks.

Sundresses and skirts of all lengths are acceptable in most parts of Russia, though if you plan on visiting any religious places, I’d recommend bringing something that fully covers your legs. Please note that some religious sites require women to wear skirts (don’t get me started), so I’d make sure you have at least one in your bag. Otherwise these places will require you to wear one of their own skirts over your trousers or wrap a huge swath of fabric around you, but if you’re cool with that, don’t worry about the skirt.

Many women in Russia do not shy away from showing off their bodies. Especially in the larger cities, you’ll see a lot of short skirts and tight clothing, so if that’s your bag, feel free to wear it, too. A lot of women wear very high heels in both summer and winter, but you can easily get away with flats and/or cute runners. Bare shoulders are also okay, though again, if you plan on visiting a religious site (including cathedrals) I would bring something to cover up.

Women are often required to cover their heads when visiting churches

Don’t forget a bathing suit for either season, as it’s common to attend public baths, saunas, etc. Also make sure to have a thin scarf or pashmina to cover your head if you go to a religious site.

Essentially, I’d say that summer dressing in Russia is very similar to what you see across North America and Europe.

And what to wear in Russia in winter…

Pretty sure I should have had that coat done up, but I liked my dress, so, you know

A good, warm coat is necessary. This is absolutely vital if you’ll be in Russia in any of the colder months (i.e. most of the year). The coat that I took to Russia was a wool blend from Zara, and for the most part it was warm enough, even in Siberia in October. As I mentioned previously, most of Russia dresses quite casually for day-to-day life, and many stick to neutral colours, so if you really want to blend in I’d stick to beige, black, grey, navy… you get the idea. However, if you really want to rock a lime-green coat (that’s my current winter jacket colour in London), go for it. Wearing a lot of bright colours outside of a major city usually pegs you as a tourist, so you may get a few stares, but I’ve never really been bothered by that.

I’d also recommend bringing some warm boots, as it can rain/snow a lot in the colder months. As I wasn’t too worried about snow when I was there, I got away with some vintage boots and some leather lace-up ankle boots. I also had a few pairs of flats and oxfords. When I visited in summer I wore cowboy boots and people openly pointed at my feet and laughed at me, so there’s that.

If you’re going to be spending some time on a train, I’d recommend bringing some warm slippers or something you can easily slip on an off (like these slippers/shoes I bought in Mongolia. They were perfect as they had a hard sole which meant I could walk around the train).

Okay, technically this photo was taken in Mongolia, but I went to Russia right after, so it counts

Again, I’d bring a pair of jeans (and/or trousers) if you visit Russia in winter. If it’s especially cold, layer a pair of tights or long thermal underwear underneath.

Layering up

Pretty typical outfit for me in Russia. I’m making that face because we were in this bizarre mock log cabin for lunch and they were pumping really loud techno music the entire time. Kind of sums up Russia, actually. 

Layers will absolutely be your friend in Russia, and I recommend bringing shirts and jumpers that you are able to pile on when necessary. I often wore a long-sleeve t-shirt under a warm jumper, and then my coat. Keep in mind that this was only October/November, so you may need even more in January or February. I also sometimes wore a blazer or fake leather jacket  under  my winter jacket, because I thought it was fashionable (and still do).

Warm socks are absolutely vital. If I was wearing a skirt (because I wear skirts and dresses no matter what the temperature), I’d layer pairs of tights and then wear this pair of long wool socks. Make sure you have sufficient layers on your feet, but that you’re still able to move your toes when you put on your shoes. This will help against the cold.

Warm hats. Lots of them (or okay, one really good one). I was really into berets when I visited in 2010, so that’s what I wore every day, but a toque – or beanie, if you’re not Canadian – is perfect, too.

Scarf bought in Russia. I’m pretty sure I was amazed by the thickness of this hot chocolate, hence the face.

Scarves. You are starting to get the picture here. It is freaking cold in Russia. When I visited Lake Baikal in October I needed both a neck warmer and a scarf to stay warm. You will also need to cover your head if you visit a religious site, so a scarf can help here, too.

I wore a fake fur stole/scarf thing when I was there, but please be aware that real fur is still common to see in Russia.

Mittens purchased in Russia

Mittens and/or gloves. Yep. Freaking freezing. Mittens are always better as you get more warmth by being able to move your fingers around together, but gloves are fine on warmer days. The good news is that there are always stores and markets selling warm clothing, so if you forget something on this list, you can buy it there.

Outfit worn to the ballet in St. Petersburg

I’d also recommend bringing at least one nice outfit to go out in. Especially in the bigger cities, Russians like to get dressed up to go out on the town. While casual clothing is fine for most activities and situations, going to a show or out for dinner at a nice restaurant requires a bit of sprucing up. I wore a simple H&M dress and blazer and felt totally comfortable and stylish, even at the ballet. Moscow and St. Petersburg are quite cosmopolitan and you’ll see many people in fashionable clothes at all hours of the day, so keep that in mind if you plan on visiting either city – you may stand out a bit more as a tourist in that jean and sweatshirt combination in those places. Also, if you are visiting for business, definitely have a suit or other appropriate formal office wear on hand, as Russians dress professionally for work.

For women, make-up is quite common at all times of the day. I wore red lipstick a lot, because, you know, Russia .

I’ve admired your fashion sense ever since I stumbled here years ago — this is a great feature for you! I’d also be curious to know how much room you leave in your suitcase for the items you purchase in-country, or if you tend to get rid of or ship things home. (And do you change out your wardrobe frequently? I still have things I wore in high school, and considering I’m now in my early 30’s, that’s fairly embarrassing. But I’m SO cheap when it comes to clothes!)

Aw, thank you so much, Katie! That’s so nice of you. I do leave a bit of room in my suitcase when I travel, unless I’m travelling carry-on only. Then I just pray that I don’t find something I absolutely love, ha ha. When I’ve travelled long term I often start ditching/donating clothing that I’m not wearing as much in order to swap it for the local stuff, or, yes, I do ship things home occasionally (only if it’s something super cool). I usually plan for all of this within my travel budget.

And yes, I am a total shopaholic… I update my wardrobe a lot. I am cheap, too, though – I almost always buy my stuff from high street shops (no designer or brand names for me) or from ASOS. However, I still have stuff I worn in high school, too!

I loved all of your outfits and the berets! Great choices. Now I’m going to go watch your video. 🙂

Thank you so much! Hope you liked the video.

I laughed out loud at the denim family and the caption on the log cabin meal picture! I LOVE your personal style and cannot wait to read more fashion/travel posts. I’ve long dreamed of travel in Russia, thanks to a somewhat strange teenage obsession with the ’60s film version of Doctor Zhivago…

Ha ha, I’m glad I could make you laugh! Russia is a very interesting country, taking the Trans-Siberian was one of my favourite journeys. I hope you get there soon!

Canadian Tuxedos and Toques 🙂

Someday I will get back to Russia and be able to spend some time there. 24 hours on a travel delay just wasn’t enough. But I have spent a fair bit of time in Ukraine, which is very similar.

I found that people either dressed casual – jeans and nice t-shirt – or completely dressed up, there was no in-between. Going to church (was there on missions) was a dress-up occasion, going shopping at a big mall was too, or going out to dinner in the evening. Our translators had two pairs of jeans with them. They hand washed and line dried them, and then ironed them. I had never seen someone iron jeans before. Most middle class folks only have a couple of everyday outfits, so wearing the same outfit repeatedly is completely normal.

I was only there in the summer, and was doing hands-on work, so I typically wore shorts, a t-shirt or tank, and running shoes. And I wore a backpack everywhere. I sure got a lot of stares and looks. I totally did not blend in. But being a red-head, there’s no way I would blend in even when I was dressed up.

Someday I will be in Siberia in winter.

Thank you very much for your input, Melody! It’s really good to hear another person’s opinion on the matter. As for the ironing jeans – yes – I saw that, too! Just goes to show how each culture has its own customs…

Nice one! Glad to see you wrote about my birth country. The most important thing about women’s fashion is that women like to look like women and be feminine.

Loved seeing the train floor picture. Have spend a lot of time in those trains across Russia.

Thank you for your comment, Elena! I loved being on the train through Russia.

I love travel bloggers who also care about their style, it sometimes feels like some people think you can’t be a good traveller unless you look scruffy af. Right now I’m trying to combine my love for nice clothes and carry-on only, yikes! Your style is great and I always enjoy seeing these posts. Never been to Russia yet but I live right next door (Finland) and it’s definitely not a shame to wear both gloves AND mittens!

Thank you very much, Elina! I am going to post an article about packing with carry-on only, although I have only ever packed for a week’s travel that way. And yes, I’ve definitely done the double-layer of gloves/mittens! I’m from one of the coldest cities in Canada so I feel like I was fairly prepared for Russia, ha ha…

I’ve always thought you had fantastic style! So naturally I think this series is a great idea. You’ve given me a lot of ideas for how to stay warm in skirts and dresses, not just when I’m in Russia! haha

Thank you so much, Camille! I almost always wear skirts or dresses, even in freezing weather. There’s definitely a way to keep warm even while wearing them. 🙂

This post is awesome! And it takes me right back to my trip along the trans-Siberian! I was totally struck by the amount of denim in Russia!

I totally agree about the scarfs and layering – I was there in late August/early September and the weather was very changeable so it was nice to be able to shed layers when the weather was warm but have them on hand for the inevitable colder days (or afternoon/evenings!)

Looking forward to your next post in this series! 🙂

Thank you so much, Ruth! I’m glad you liked it. How amazing was the Trans-Siberian? I’d love to do it again one day.

Thanks again for your comment! 🙂

I love what you are wearing in all of these pictures! You always so amazing, travelling or not 🙂 p.s. that picture of the family all dressed in denim is too much!!!

Aw, thank you Zalie!! And yes, that family just kills me. I wish I could join their all-denim crusade!

I’m supposed to be packing for a trip to Russia as I write this, but I’m so glad I found your post. Mostly because your outfits are awesome! Just “liked” your page on Facebook so I look forward to reading more about your trips!

Aw, so glad you found the article! And thanks for the like. Hope you have an amazing time in Russia!

I love that I came across this! I’m traveling to Moscow and St Petersburg in mid Sept and have been debating a packing list. I, too, am a fan of layering and denim jackets! I love your style and that you make travel look effortless! Any thoughts on leggings (in this era of lularoe)?

Loved your article and your style. Want to ask: are denim jeans, indeed any kind of pants OK for older women? What about capris? I’m 63 (not quite a babushka yet) and will be in St. Petersburg and Moscow this summer and would prefer not to have to wear skirts. Too bad I gave away my denim jacket. What do you suggest for my generation?

I think that jeans and capris are totally fine, Wanda! I personally do not wear them often but they are very common in Russia. If you’re going to the big cities in summer, I think that you can dress the same as you would at home. Just make sure to have comfortable walking shoes! 🙂

So flats are OK? I don’t wear heels any more.

Flats are absolutely OK. Many Russian women wear heels but that doesn’t mean you have to.

This is maybe a weird comment, haha, but you’re giving me long-lost Romanov relative (/ time-traveling Romanov sister) vibes in (the second, blonde half of) these pictures. I dig it!

Wow, what a great blog series! I loved seeing all your cute outfits during your Russian travels, I will definitely be checking out your ‘what to wear’ recommendations for other locations as well!

Thank you very much!

Great article, thank you. While I’m a man in my early 50s, I found this very informative. I’ll be traveling to Saint Petersburg alone in mid April for two weeks. This helped a lot. I’ve already bought my tickets to see a ballet in the Mariinsky as well. I feel more confident in the clothes I should bring. Thanks.

Thanks a lot, Kim! Glad the article helped.

I will be going to Moscow (Viking Cruise) to St. Petersburg on August 8th. I am no clothes horse, live in Atlanta where it’s broiling hot. I wear skorts/sleeveless tops most of the time, or jeans, some colored. All I have are Summer sleeveless dresses, because we usually go to tropical destinations, or wider leg pants for evening with those sleeveless longer tops. Now I’m in a panic because I am not a good shopper. I’m 75, but small, I do not dress my age at all. I wear sandals all year long because of a foot problem. All I wore in Europe were my skorts, sleeveless tops, and sandals for sightseeing ye gads, what am I going to do now, ready to just stay home, too mind boggling. Evenings on this boat, what do I wear and not look insane, and what do I wear for sightseeing, instead of skorts or shorts? I don’t even own a sweater! I just grab a hoodie. In Europe and Asia I brought a wrap that served as a skirt for the churches and temples. The climate is really messing with me. Please help! Thank you!

Great! During last fifa world cup it helps me lot . I like it & recommend all to read it.

What a darling woman!

What To Wear In Russia? 21 Outfit Ideas And Packing List

What To Wear In Russia – Russia is a truly magical place, and if you are going there for the first time, it would be nothing less than a memorable experience. To make the best of your time there, you should prepare ahead with the stuff like what to wear or pack.

Here’s an ultimate guide for you, from packing tips to outfit ideas according to weather and based on your activities there.

So, please sit down, have a cup of coffee, and let’s start planning your outfits for your trip with me.

Packing Tips for Your Trip to Russia:

• CASUAL & EASY OUTFITS

SEMI-FORMAL OUTFITS

• SUMMER & SPRING OUTFITS
• WINTER & FALL OUTFITS

OUTFITS FOR MATURE WOMEN

Celebrities inspired outfits, outfits for plus-size women, what should i bring with me when traveling to russia.

If you are a first-time traveler confused about what you should bring to Russia, here’s the simplest answer:

• For winters – thermal, long coats, mufflers, earbuds, gloves, warm shoes, and socks.
• For summ er – long skirts, light wear jackets, and maxi dresses.
• For a formal trip – bring long skirts and suits to make an impression.

• Keep the necessities first , like your documents, laptop, extensions, phone charger, utilities, hand sanitizer, masks (just in case), insect repellent, and sunscreen.

• If there is more than one city on your trip, try to keep your luggage minimum . Try to add statement pieces from your wardrobe. For example, don’t keep too many coats. It will take up more space. Take just one or a maximum of two coats which you can style with every outfit.

• Pack shoes that are comfortable to wear the whole day. If you are traveling in winter, then you prefer boots over sneakers. It is because, with sneakers, there is always a chance your foot will get wet in the rain.

CASUAL & EASY OUTFITS

You can find hiking trails, parks, and much other adventurous stuff to do in Russia. So pack casual and easy outfits in which you can feel comfortable all day.

Instead of heels, I suggest you carry sneakers because you will walk a lot there. You can wear shorts, there’s no harm in that, but jeans are more prevalent among locals.

21 – Yellow Top With Black High-Waisted Pants And Green Silk Oversized Shirt For Airport

For the airport, always select comfy clothes. Whenever I choose my airport outfits , I remember that the fabric shouldn’t be too tight because it can be irritating if the flight is long. You can always choose oversized hoodies for the airport, but this outfit is perfect if you want to look chic.

Pick a yellow crop top with black high-waisted pants. You can pair it with any oversized button-down shirt. Roll the sleeves up for a chic look.

Lastly, choose your comfiest pair of sneakers to complete your look. Accessorize your look with black shades and carry a tote bag for all your belongings.

20 – Olive Spaghetti Strap Crop Camisole With White Collared Crop Top And Beige Shorts

Another casual outfit you can easily wear on a sunny day is an olive spaghetti strap camisole with beige shorts. You can wear an oversized shirt and tie it from the front to create a cover-up, or you can also wear a cropped jacket.

For footwear, sneakers are the best option if you plan to walk. Otherwise, white slides will also look fine.

This outfit is perfect for the day when you haven’t planned much for the trip and want to walk around the streets to appreciate the surroundings casually.

19 – Green Sweatshirt With Light Blue Flared Denim Jeans And Mint Sherpa Jacket

While in Russia, you had to travel from one city to another. Russia has one of the largest rails, so you should definitely experience it while you are there.

Don’t bother to wear anything too fancy for your train ride. Just wear a hoodie and light blue flared denim jeans. Pair your outfit with a mint green sherpa jacket.

Another tip if you are visiting Russia for the first time is don’t carry too much stuff. Instead of taking many handbags, go with a staple crossbody bag and a big tote bag that can fit your important stuff.

Russia has a lot of monuments to visit. Cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg are famous for heritage and culture, so you can see museums, galleries, and architecture.

Although Russians are not the biggest fan of bold and bright patterns, but you can wear dark shades for the night outs, like a fancy dinner at a yacht.

I suggest wearing light colors for the churches and museums and going with dresses because they look more formal. If you are on a business trip, then choose skirts.

18 – Purple Crewneck Full-Sleeves Midi Dress With Pink Belt And Purple Hat

If you want to wear modern clothes in Russia, but for a formal gathering, then there’s nothing a better option than a crewneck midi dress.

You can add a pink belt and a purple hat for a voguish look. Go with transparent heels if you are attending a party or brown boots if you are just out to admire the beauty of the place.

Accessorize your outfit with a few bracelets and rings. A little tip for you is to avoid neck pieces with crewneck dresses. Keep your makeup minimal, and a bright shade of lipstick is all you need to

17 – Red Silk Front Knot Bishop Sleeves Top With Matching Red Skirt

A Red Silk outfit is the perfect option for clubbing when you are in Russia. You can wear lace-up heels with this dress for an evening glam look.

Keep your makeup dewy, and use minimal jewelry to complete the look. Lastly, do your hair in a beachy waves style, so you don’t have to tie them up.

SUMMER & SPRING OUTFITS

Summer is a perfect time to travel to Russia if you want to explore this country’s hidden gems. The temperature ranges from 20 to 30-degree celsius. Remember that Russians wear modest clothing, so don’t bring anything too short. Otherwise, you will feel uncomfortable around the locals.

Although you can enjoy good sunny days in Russia, you will soon find out that the temperature is unpredictable. So always carry light wear jackets and umbrellas with you.

16 – Black And White Stripe Sweatshirt With Beige Pleated Skirt And Fleece Stockings

An easy way to wear skirts in Russia is to pair them with stockings. You can wear any top from your wardrobe or a sweatshirt and wear a skirt. Choose chunky white sneakers to complete the look.

15 – Printed Elastic Top With Brown Oversized Button Down Shirt And Beige High-Waisted Pants

Printed shirts are pretty popular these days. You can easily pair them with cargo pants or high-waisted jeans. Add a beige oversized button-down shirt to bring that spring vibe. Lastly, a tote bag would match the look perfectly.

14 – White Sports Bra, White Pleated Skirt, And Pink Sheer Button-Down Shirt

What to pack for Russia in summer is the most asked question by first-time visitors. You don’t have to go over the board while packing. Keep your luggage minimum, so you don’t have to worry about that. Since we are talking about summer, an all-white outfit is a must. Pair a white sports bra with a white pleated skirt.

You can add a feminine touch by wearing a pink button-down shirt over it. Keep the buttons open, or tie them from the front as you like. Lastly, choose white pair of sneakers to finish the look. Keep your jewelry minimal, and that’s it.

13 – White Crop Top, Ripped Blue Jeans, And Denim Crop Jacket

Another important question I have mostly heard is what not to wear in Russia. When you search your query, you might get answers like don’t wear ripped jeans in Russia. However, the reality is that tourists in Russia have no dress code.

Pair a white tank top with blue jeans and wear a blue denim jacket. Choose white sneakers and match your belt with the color of your footwear. For the accessory, add silver hoops to keep your look elegant. Last but not least, don’t forget to carry a sling bag.

WINTER & FALL OUTFITS

Russain winters are extremely cold, and you can face heavy snowfall, so always come prepared for that. The temperature varies from -2°C/28°F to -28°C/-18°F. Therefore, it’s wise to pack a lot of layers.

Whether going to Moscow’s Red Square or Hermitage Museum at the Winter Palace, you need to wear a lot of warm clothes. I suggest wearing a thermal first, then a sweater, and lastly a long coat – basically you want to layer like a pro . Wear waterproof boots and don’t forget to pack gloves.

12 – Blue And White Turtle Neck Sweater With Black Jeans And Black Fur Coat

Winters are always extreme in Russia, especially from November to March. Try to pack according to the season, and I suggest checking the weather app for dates of your stay beforehand because Russia’s cold weather can freeze you to death. Another factor to consider here is which cities are on your list.

Wear a sweater with your warmest jeans. Now layer a black fur coat and white cap. You can also add wool gloves; trust me, you will need them. Use a crossbody bag; it will be easy to carry around.

11 – Black Crop Top And Pink Sweatpants With Black Denim Jacket

If you are visiting an area that is not so cold, pair your black sweatshirt with pink joggers. Add a black leather jacket to give you a comfy yet stylish vibe. Choose chunky sneakers for that extra height. Lastly, add black shades to complete your look.

10 – Light Blue Turtle Neck And Leather Blazer With White Sherpa Coat

If you like leather blazers and trousers, pair them with a light blue turtleneck and a white sherpa coat. You can accessorize minimal jewelry. Also, for snowy areas, wear boots instead of sneakers. Add colors with pink sunglasses, and that’s it.

09 – White Turtle Neck And Black Pants With Long White Coat And Checkered Print Muffler

A white turtle neck and white coat are a great combination with black jeans and black boots. But to elevate the look of your outfit, add prints with mufflers or caps. Checkered print in white and black is an excellent option for pairing.

08 – Off-White Co-Ord Set With Boots And Long Oversized Brown Coat

Co-ord sets are pretty common these days; almost everyone has a pair of them in their wardrobe. You can layer your white co-ord set with thermals and put on a brown wool coat for extreme weather. Wool coats are best for Russian winters, so don’t forget to pack them with you.

07 – Greyish Black Turtleneck Dress With Black Wool Coat And Checkered Bucket Hat

Turtleneck dresses look super cute and are easy to style. Thanks to the legging makers who came up with the idea that you can wear leggings in winter, and thanks to Tiktok for making it so popular. Also, add a black wool coat and a bucket hat to finish the look.

06 – Green V-Neck Pleated Midi Dress With White Strap Sandals

Midi dresses are the perfect option for desi moms on vacation. Not too fancy but not so casual, wear green midi dresses with white strap sandals. Either go with sandals or choose sneakers, depending on your comfort level.

05 – White Hoodie And White Straight Pants With Colorful Printed Coat And White Mary Jane Shoes

White hoodies, sweatpants, and a colorful cardigan are the best ways to spend your lazy days in Russia when you want to roam around the streets. Also, the colorful cardigan is a staple piece because you can style it with many outfits.

04 – Black Spaghetti Strap Mini Dress With White Detailing And Long Fur Coat

When it comes to styling statement pieces, no one can do it better than Hailey Bieber. Choose a black mini dress and pair it with a long fur coat. Add long boots to finish the look. It’s a perfect outfit for clubbing in Russia.

03 – Beige Turtle Neck And High Waisted Skirt With Brown Belt And Beige Coat

If sophistication and elegance could be defined with one picture, then this would be it. Pair the beige turtleneck with a high-waist skirt. You can add a beige or brown long beige coat. Style long brown boots with this outfit and match your belt with boots to add colors to the look.

02 – Grey Top With Black Elastic Waist Trousers And Black Blazer

A grey ribbed shirt with black elastic waist trousers is perfect for comfortable sightseeing in Russia. There is no specific dress code for tourists in Russia so you can style everything. Choose a black blazer if you want to keep your look subtle. Accessorize your outfit with golden hoops, and a chain necklace would be a nice addition.

Carry a vibrant or bright color bag to contrast the outfit. Lastly, sightseeing means a lot of walking, so pick your most comfortable sandals, and you are all set to go out for the day.

01 – Green Printed V-NeckFront-Knot Pleated Midi Dress With Black Sandals

Another excellent outfit if you want to dress apart from traditional clothes in Russia is a flowy midi pleated dress. You can choose a V-neck long sleeves dark green dress with embellishment of black detailing on it. Choose black sandals with laces so you can wrap them around your foot.

Roll up the sleeves if the weather is too hot. By the way, it is the best look to go with if you are searching for what to wear in Russia in summer. Wear a smartwatch as an accessory. Lastly, pick up your colored shades so you can enjoy the sightseeing without getting your eyes affected by sun rays.

Q: Can you wear jeans in Russia?

Ans: Russia never directly bans jeans. However, in the past, there were restrictions on clothing from the western world, but now jeans are pretty popular in style here and will serve as an adjustable base for your outfit when paired with lighter layers in the summer and heavier ones in the winter.

Q: Is there a dress code in Russia?

Ans: For Russians, there are some standard norms for dressing. However, for tourists there’s no dress code in Russia.

Q: How should I dress in Moscow?

Ans: Because of how conservative Russia is, bright colors will make you stick out, especially in the winter. Moreover, denim is very popular in Moscow in the summer and throughout the year.

10 Times Rory Gilmore Was Demure, But Not Mindful

She made some mistakes but looked very cutesy along the way.

Ever since Jools Lebron’s TikTok about her “very demure, very mindful” look went viral this August, netizens have had fun sorting pop culture figures into buckets. Think Charlotte York, Kate Sharma, and Dragon from Shrek as “demure,” vs. Carrie Bradshaw, Anthony Bridgerton, and Donkey as not.

“Your demure is what it means to you,” Lebron recently told CBS Mornings. “It’s being mindful and considerate of the people around you, but also of yourself and how you present to the world.”

Lebron’s classification system leaves plenty of room for interpretation, but there are a few figures who are widely regarded as fitting the bill. Take Rory Gilmore, for example, the Stars Hollow teen whose understated style and composed, soft-spoken sensibility seem to embody the viral label.

Emily Gilmore certainly thought so. In a Gilmore Girls clip resurfaced by Netflix, Rory’s order of “just club soda” at dinner prompts her grandmother to dub her “so demure.”

But even if she rocked a demure vibe, her actions didn’t always back it up, which, granted, is a pretty normal part of growing up. Here are 10 times Rory Gilmore was demure but not mindful.

Rory’s School Dance

Rory looked incredibly demure when she wore that blue dress — a Lorelai Gilmore original — and baby’s-breath bun to her Chilton dance with Dean. Of course, accidentally falling asleep at Miss Patty’s wasn’t her most mindful moment.

The Puffs Ambush

Remember when Lorelai tipped Rory off that the Puffs — the exclusive Chilton sorority — were going to “kidnap” her in the middle of the night for a surprise breakfast outing? The warning allowed Rory to put on presentable PJs, brush her hair, and even slap on some lip gloss. Paris had no such notice and was picked up sporting pimple cream and major bedhead. “Nothing in my life is fair,” she sighs after Rory fibbed and said, yes, this is what she naturally looks like waking up.

It’s not the worst lie in the world! But if Rory had felt more generous in spirit, she could have used the moment to assuage some of Paris’ insecurities — to admit that she did not even wake up photo-ready.

Her Basket Behavior

It can be quite demure to stand by as two suitors fight over the chance to take you out for a picnic lunch. (As Lebron says, getting involved with drama is decidedly not demure. Let them figure it out!)

But Rory’s nonchalance about Jess winning her date in the name of Bid-on-a-Basket tradition was perhaps a little too polite and “cutesy,” given how Jess was trying to rock the boat here. Luckily, the pier date that followed was adorable.

Kissing Jess

Rory’s first brush with infidelity culminated in kissing Jess at Sookie’s wedding, which was just bad bridesmaid behavior.

The Dance Marathon

Many of Rory’s least mindful moments revolve around Jess — that’s a bookish, bad-boy crush for you! Dean broke up with her after she was fighting with Jess as she slow-danced with her boyfriend. Her vintage dress and wavy ponytail were a look, though.

The Affair & Letter

“Demure” connotes a kind of timeless charm, and writing a letter to your lover from Europe is certainly that. But Rory’s approach in Season 5 was clumsy, telling Dean she didn’t regret their affair and getting the sordid missive to him in a way that almost ensured his wife would find it.

Emily & Richard’s Wedding

Rory’s suit at her grandparents’ vow renewal was a chic, unexpected look, but sneaking off with Logan in the middle of the festivities was pretty awkward.

Stealing The Yacht

One of Rory’s all-time demure fits was the baby blue coat she wore to steal a yacht with Logan. However, the ensuing refrigerator mugshot memorialized one of her least mindful moments.

The Babies’ Baptism

The dress Rory wore to Sookie’s babies’ baptism was gorgeous. The black piping? The coquette bow detail? Rory’s criteria for choosing the outfit was based on “what goes better with a baby,” but she ironically seemed to forget her godchild when she got caught up in an argument with Lorelai and exited the church to settle it. Time and place, ladies!

Her AYITL Job Interview

Rory was going through it in A Year in the Life, but few moments embody the demure-mindful schism quite like her disastrous SandeeSays interview in “Spring,” when she spent so much time trying to find her “lucky outfit” and not enough preparing for the potential job.

As Lebron reminds us: “Be mindful of why they hired you. Here’s your reality check, diva. What’s the name you’d like me to make it out to?”

What to Pack for Russia: Summer

Written By: Julia K.

If you made it to Moscow, Russia during summer, you’re in luck. Moscow offers a plethora of beautifully landscaped parks and festivals all over the city. If you want to know how to visit all those locations in style, continue reading!

Traveling to Russia in the winter? Read this post instead.

Packing List for Russia in the Summer

White Top  | Blouse |  Tank | Top |  Shirt |  Pant |  Pants | Skirt | Dress |  Dress  | Jacket | Cardigan | Flats | Wedge | Bag  | Hat

Summers in Moscow can get hot. It can range between 77-86°F (25-30°C) and sometimes be humid. Dressing appropriately, comfortably, and accordingly will save you a headache and make your stay more enjoyable.

Always check the weather forecast before your trip. Once you’ve researched the weather, you can focus on creating a travel capsule wardrobe , which should easily fit in a carryon suitcase with the help of packing cubes to compress your clothing.

Must-see attractions during summer include many parks, such as VDNH, Chistyye Prudy, Izmaylovo and Izmailovsky Park, and of course the famous antique and flea market called Vernisaj.

Start by reading these general tips on packing for summer travel:

• Capsule Wardrobe for Summer
• Top Summer Dresses Perfect for Europe
• Lightweight Jackets for Easy Layers
• Best Walking Shoes for Europe’s Cobblestone Streets

One can see a range of different styles in Moscow. After all, it’s a hub for many travelers, businesspeople, and locals. However, if you’d like to be perceived and treated in a particular way, then pay attention to the way you dress.

You may attract unwanted attention if you wear clothing that’s inappropriate to the local culture. Observe what people are wearing around you and these tips should help point you in the right direction before you arrive.

The following suggestions are based on the perspective of a local born in Moscow.

What to pack for Russia if you’re going to any of the parks:

Blouse | Shorts |  Hat | Scarf | Watch | Sunglasses | Purse  | Flats

• Flat sandals or flats
• Dressy shorts or a midi skirt (no shorter than one hand above the knee)
• A nice blouse
• A crossbody bag
• A hat and sunglasses
• Jewelry and a watch

If you’ll be staying out all day into the evening, wearing layers is key. Pack a shawl or a cardigan for romantic walks next to the Moscow River.

Pro tip: Take a mosquito repellent just in case and apply sun protection wherever you go.

Read this post to find out our stylish strategies on how to layer clothes !

What not to wear:

As a local, I wouldn’t recommend wearing flip flops, short shorts, mini skirts, bright makeup, or see-through clothes. It’s a good idea not to show cleavage, unless you have a layer underneath. Choose understated jewelry instead of flashier pieces.

What to pack for Russia if you’re going to a festival:

Dress |  Hat  | Umbrella |  Crossbody  | Earrings | Lipstick | Watch |  Flats

• A nice day dress
• A pair of comfortable wedges
• A light purse
• A scarf for the evening
• Light jewelry
• Light makeup (bronzer, mascara, lip gloss, blush)

Find out the top ten wedges readers recommend!

Travel shoes:

Flats  |  Wedge |  Oxfords

If you’d like to explore Moscow, then comfortable shoes are a must!

The summer weather is pretty predictable. Based on that, you’ll need three pairs of shoes. One to explore the city, a pair to wear in your hotel room, and something for going out. Think: wedges, dressy flats with a thick sole, and flip-flops.

What are the most comfy shoes? These experts are giving you the inside scoop on their twenty-one top picks. Take a look !

What to pack for Russia if you’re going to enjoy dinner and a ferry ride along the Moscow River:

Top  | Skirt | Jacket |  Sunglasses  |  Wedge  |  Lipstick  | Clutch | Earrings

• A midi skirt or cropped dressy pants
• A dressy blouse
• Comfortable but dressy shoes
• An evening clutch
• A jacket for any unexpected chill

Make sure your clothes are clean and neat, and that there are no flashy colors or over-the-top prints.

Summer is also a perfect opportunity to take a short trip to St. Petersburg, one of the most iconic cities in the world. It’s full of heritage, architecture, galleries, and art, even for the most discerning travelers and art lovers. You can get there by train or plane. Whichever is in your budget, pack with comfort and style in mind!

Whether you’re spending a summer abroad or finally taking that vacation you’ve been dreaming about for years, TFG has the ultimate long term packing list for your European adventures !

What to pack for Russia for a 3-day getaway to St. Petersburg:

Dress  |  Earrings | Clutch | Wedge |  Cardigan  | Tank  | Pants |  Flats | Purse  |  Blouse  | Pants | Jacket |  Scarf | Hat | Flats

• Day/night dress that’s easy to dress up or down with some jewelry
• Comfortable flats to explore the city in
• A change of clothes that covers your knees and shoulders
• A scarf and sweater for when the city becomes cooler during the evening
• A windbreaker
• Everyday jewelry
• A hat to protect yourself from the sun
• A small umbrella

These are the most cute and comfortable ballet flats for travel!

Some museums and churches might refuse service or admission if shoulders and knees are uncovered. I also recommend avoiding jean cutoffs and tank tops, as they may get unwanted attention.

When entering any religious building modesty should be considered, these tips will help you learn how to pack!

Shopping tips:

Moscow has every single store you could think of! From global luxury brands to everyday wear, it caters to many budgets.

If you want to arrive during sale season, then arrive one to two months before the end of the season. You can pick up European-made goods cheaper than in North America. Good shopping malls include Afimall located in Moscow City (another must see) and Evropeiskii located at Kievsky train station.

I’m traveling to Moscow in five days and was wondering if I should really not wear shorts. I’ve been to Nizhny Novgorod in the summer and Moscow in the winter so I have a few ideas about what to wear, but I thought that shorts wouldn’t be so bad.
