Cruising has become an extremely popular vacation choice. The latest figures suggest that close to 30 million people are undertaking cruises every year.
Indeed, they’re an exciting option for your leisure time. Firstly, you’ll get to see multiple destinations without having to keep moving hotels. Moreover, the travel between locations is first-class, with all the features and facilities you can think of, and you’ll get to sample some of the best cuisine in the world.
Of course, with so many different venues and events, it can be hard to keep creating the perfect look. Fortunately, we’re here to help: trust us, it’s all about the shoes. Whether you’re wearing your bathing suit or putting on your favorite cocktail dress, the shoes will complete the outfit.
Best of all, you only need three or four well-chosen shoes to complete any outfit and look perfect on any cruise activity.
On Deck
If you’re looking for something simple to help you move around the deck, then you’ll want a slip-on, ideally in a bright color to help show off your fun personality. The Colony Softy Mustard Rope is an excellent choice.
It’s the ultimate deck shoe with embroidered patches that have more than a hint of royal inspiration. They stand out for all the right reasons, and the rope and rubber soles ensure you won’t be slipping over, even if the deck gets slippery.
However, if you fancy more of a seaside look, then try the Raoul Pablo Navy Rope. It offers all the benefits of the Colony Softy, but adopts a more traditional sailing look. You’ll certainly look like you belong on deck!
Dinner & Dance
Cruises are a surprisingly good place to dress up and enjoy a dance. It’s time to dig out your tux or perhaps an evening suit.
While you can go with traditional black shoes, it’s worth trying the Tangerine 1 Rete White Belgian Loafers. These canvas loafers with leather bows manage to balance formality and yet retain a hint of the casual.
That means you can wear them to dinner and also for dancing, the cocktail party or even into the casino. The leather soles will ensure you can slip quietly in and out when you need to.
Games Night
There are generally a variety of games to choose from on a cruise, from classic Bridge to something a little more adventurous. You’ll need to be ready for anything: that means a comfortable and practical shoe.
Mix it up a little with the Melilla Rafia Green Loafers. They’re stylish, comfortable and work with almost any outfit. That means you can attend all types of games and even move between the venues.
The shoe is light, has leather soles and calfskin insoles. You’ll look relaxed and professional, making sure everyone is watching your gaming skills.
Excursions
You can’t take a cruise without signing up for some of the excursions. There is often no better way to see a place without worrying about missing the boat!
To make sure you can handle walking across a variety of terrain and still look good when you stop for dinner or souvenirs, you’ll want a robust and comfortable shoe, such as the Tangerine 7 Tetris Green Skate. It’s handmade, has rubber soles for comfort and grip, and is a great all-around slip-on sneaker.
You can wear it on excursions or when chilling on the boat.
Don’t forget that the finest clothes in the world won’t attract the right attention unless you pair them with the perfect shoes. A pair of high-quality shoes tells everyone you know what you’re doing and you belong. It’s amazing how much of a confidence boost shoes can give you!
