11 men's yachting wardrobe essentials

Yves Salomon tracksuit

A perfectly tailored suit, a cashmere sweater, leather loafers: there are certain pieces no man's wardrobe would be complete without. Featuring iconic items by designers including Larusmiani, Gucci and Ralph Lauren, we uncover the heritage, history and design features that make these items indispensable to the modern  superyacht owner .

Athleisure has been fashion’s favourite buzzword for (too) many seasons – and often used to mask sartorial laziness. Not the case with this leather tracksuit by Yves Salomon: with buttery soft leather and a slimming cut in a chic mustard shade, it screams private jet, not grocery run. For extra style points, wear it with an untucked shirt and white trainers.

Larusmiani swim shorts

After more than a decade in the fashion wilderness, the camouflage print re-emerged in 2017, when it was spotted everywhere on the runway – from street-style favourites Off-White and Vetements to sartorial powerhouses Bottega Veneta and Cerruti. Since then, it has shown no sign of disappearing from the world’s wardrobes – you’ll find it on jackets, shirts, trousers, backpacks and more. That’s hardly surprising, since the camo pattern acts like a neutral and goes with pretty much everything. Wear it on deck this Caribbean season with these Larusmiani swimming shorts.

Ecoalf jacket

Spanish brand Ecoalf was founded by Javier Goyeneche to create clothes from recycled material and today it collects hundreds of tonnes of discarded plastic from the bottom of the Mediterranean to create cool outerwear – so far, it has recycled 70 million plastic bottles. This Tucson waterproof jacket is made with 100 per cent recycled nylon fashioned from discarded fishing nets.

Stefano Ricci trainers

Perfect for pairing with everything from summer shorts to a modern slim-cut suit, dress trainers are the new men’s wardrobe must-have and few do them better than Stefano Ricci. Founded on a 100 per cent made in Italy ethos, each pair is handcrafted in fine leather or crocodile skin, with inspiration taken from the eponymous designer’s Florentine heritage. Choose a bold blue hue for spring or, for something truly special, make use of the brand’s bespoke accessory service.

Trainers, £2,600, stefanoricci.com

Loro Piana bomber

For most yacht owners and guests the Loro Piana brand needs no introduction. Whether it’s the Storm System gear for regatta-goers, highly sought after Vicuna wool knits, or breezy linen shirts, the chances are there’s something with a Loro Piana label on board wherever you’re sailing. And now you can add to your collection with this super soft cashmere and jersey hooded bomber – ideal for braving the worst of the winter elements.

J. M. Weston loafers

Founded in 1891 by Édouard Blanchard, JM Weston’s elegant loafers have been a staple of Parisian style for more than a century. Still handmade in the Limoges factory from which they originated, Weston’s ‘mocs’ became a cult hit in the 1960s when worn by rebel French Mods known as the “Bande du Drugstore”. New interpretations under current creative director Michel Perry remain primed for the modern wardrobe. This turmeric-hued pair is a case in point.

Brioni shirt

Founded in Rome in 1945, Brioni has been a trailblazer since it staged the first ever men’s fashion show, at the Palazzo Pitti, Florence in 1952. Now helmed by Australian creative director Justin O’Shea, the house’s booming bespoke and ready-to-wear lines are a perfect example of prized Italian craftsmanship. A case in point is this classically elegant fitted shirt – add a simple Brioni gold pin for unexpected edge at your next formal yacht dinner. Zoe Dickens

Tod's loafers

Todd Marchard

Diego Della Valle, the chairman and CEO of Tod’s, is a man who loves the sea. He also loves the mythology of American casualwear and sees this epitomised in the enduring style of one John Fitzgerald Kennedy. These two passions combine happily in the fact that since 1998 Della Valle has been the owner of Marlin , a boat that was for many years in the Kennedy family.

Della Valle’s forebears were shoemakers in the Marche region of Italy, where Tod’s is still based, and the company has been built on a combination of Italian craftsmanship and the relaxed weekend style of the US, which the young Della Valle saw while working there for his father’s shoe business. It struck him that, while Italians oozed style, it was based around formal wear, while the Americans dressed down to relax. Della Valle recognised in the humble driving shoe a perfect opportunity to express his new vision for an Italian casual lifestyle and created the now famous Tod’s moccasin, the Gommino. It has a sole covered with 133 rubber pebbles, or gommini. Since its launch in the 1970s, the model has been rendered in a multitude of versions in a variety of materials and colours, featuring various details.  Peter Howarth

Ralph Lauren shirt

Sean Gleason

There are few better suited to dress the aspirational world of yachting than Ralph Lauren. His curated mix of preppy youth, classic cuts and all-American appeal make his designs favourites for life at sea.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the brand’s signature chino. With a broad following, these trousers have cemented their place as the stylish choice for the wealthy at play. How to wear yours this summer? Keep things simple with a tailored white shirt and rolled cuff. Zoe Dickens

Persol sunglasses

Like many of the best designs, Persol sunglasses (from the Italian per il sole, meaning “for the sun”) were born out of necessity. In 1917, Turin photographer and optician Giuseppe Ratti began making eyewear for Italian air force pilots and Alpini soldiers fighting in the snowy Dolomites.

After the war, these goggles and later, sunglasses, with the famous Silver Arrow hinge, caught on among yachtsmen and petrolheads alike. By the 1960s, Jack Kennedy was wearing them and Marcello Mastroianni donned the classic Persol 649 in the 1961 comedy Divorce Italian Style . Seven years later, Steve McQueen ensured continued “cool factor”, when he wore the folding version of the 649, the 714, with striking cobalt-blue lenses, in The Thomas Crown Affair (1968). The 714 was (and is) made with natural cotton acetate, photopolarising lenses and flexing cylinders in the arm to create a more personalised fit. Chris Madigan

What to Wear on a Yacht

When you’re on a yacht you’re obviously going to dress for the weather but, in general, you want to keep it light and cool. Casual is good within reason as long as you don’t go overboard, so to speak, and it need not be formal but it shouldn’t look inappropriate or out of place. There’s no set in stone dress code for yachts

The most expensive yachts in the world cost hundreds of millions of dollars and, for most of us, that’s a bit out of reach. But that doesn’t mean we’ll never get on a yacht for a weekend charter or even a yacht party and when that happens knowing what to wear is something you may be curious about. Let’s dig into some deeper details of suitable yacht attire for men and women so you don’t have to worry about feeling self conscious when you’re living it up on a fancy yacht. 

Yacht Styles Suitable for Men

In 80s movies you may have seen some yacht captains decked out in full formal jackets with hats and pipes and everything. You can still do that and, no word of a lie, a guy at my uncle’s yacht club used to wear the navy jacket and a captain’s hat everywhere he went for years. But most people like to keep it casual on a yacht and far less formal with a simple, casual outfit.

Linen is a popular choice for yachting because it’s very light and breezy and keeps you cool under the blazing sun. A linen shirt, like linen button downs, have a real casual but not inappropriate quality to them that has been linked to boating for years and would ensure you never look out of place. 

Light cotton works just as well, of course, and something like a polo shirt wouldn’t make you stand out in a crowd, or a simple button down. Even a t-shirt wouldn’t look out of place but you’ll want to tailor that to the situation. If you’re literally just day sailing then that’s great. But if it’s a slightly more formal outing or maybe a party then you may want to keep it a little more upscale

Here’s another case where you should take the situation into account. Shorts and trunks can definitely be appropriate on a yacht but if you’re having a party in the evening then maybe consider longer pants. However, if you’re actually traveling on the yacht, especially if you’re fishing or sailing/racing, a good pair of swim shorts will do you well. Not just for the freedom and for keeping you cool but in the event of an emergency and you do end up in the water, it’s never a bad idea to be ready to swim. 

Boat shoes are a must for any boat ride. You don’t want to be skidding around on the deck in inappropriate footwear but at the same time you want to be comfortable. These are often called deck shoes as well, and they are very close to loafers with the addition of laces. 

You’ll definitely see people in loafers on yachts but loafers don’t have siped soles, which means they aren’t textured to provide the proper grip on deck. If the yacht is going to be actually out there sailing and moving on the water, you want deck shoes.

Some people wear flip flops and that may be fine for a casual day with friends.

Accessories

You should be wearing sunglasses on a boat whether or not its a yacht just because you want to keep your eyes protected from dangerous UV rays and the glare off of the water. Polarized shades are the best but anything is better than nothing. A nice pair of aviators won’t look out of place, or some Ray Bans can be great as well.

Yacht Styles for Women

Traditionally the difference between men’s fashion and women’s fashion on a yacht has been one of practicality. In the past, men were the ones always controlling the yacht and women were passengers. Boating has a somewhat shady history of not being friendly to women, you’ll recall. And for that reason women were mostly seen wearing swimsuits and lounging on yachts. But if you’re a woman running the boat, you’ll likely want the same freedom and comfort that a man in a simple shirt and shorts is enjoying. 

Now if you’re not piloting the boat and instead are just around to enjoy a yacht party, then swimsuits tend to be the order of the day and potentially some kind of wrap or cover up as well. Basically whatever feels most comfortable and appropriate to the occasion. 

Things like kaftans, sundresses, and various wraps and coverups that would work poolside or at the beach when you’re not in the water are just as welcome on a yacht and won’t look out of place at all.  A knee length summer dress is something you’d likely see on any yacht.

Like men, you can get a good pair of women’s boat shoes that look a little more elegant if that’s what interests you, and they’re a good investment. Again, a boat shoe is less about appearance than function when the boat is actually in motion and you want something that gives you firm footing, which a boat shoe can do. 

Both hats and sunglasses are more than appropriate for women on a yacht and offer the added protection from the sun that you’re going to want anyway. You won’t look out of place and you’ll be doing your eyes and skin a favor by keeping them away from harmful UV rays. Remember the sunscreen as well. 

What to Wear to a Yacht Party

Now a yacht party is a different sort of monster than just being on a yacht. This will likely be a more formal occasion and that means dressing up a little. Ditching the shorts for this is probably a good idea. 

Unless you have been specifically told this is a formal wear event, black tie affair don’t dress for one. Most yacht parties aren’t that formal because, well, they’re on boats. Leaning into the boat aspect is a better option. A suit would be as formal as you should expect unless told something ultra formal like a tuxedo is expected. But most yacht parties are likely to be a little more casual than that. 

Consider dress pants and a button down shirt or a blazer. A sport coat and tie, maybe with a matching jacket, is also very common for parties on yachts. 

A more formal occasion, a wedding for instance, will probably clue you in as to what would be expected in terms of dress. And, hopefully, your hosts are going to be gracious enough to make it clear if you do need to dress to the nines. 

You can find some more formal boat shoes and, if things get a little fancier, some dress shoes that don’t have slippery soles will work as well. 

Are Cocktail Dresses Appropriate for Women?

At the more formal end of things, a classy yacht party could very well require you to wear a cocktail dress or in rare cases even some kind of fancy gown. Cocktail attire is a little less formal than evening wear and more suited for a casual affair. Hopefully it will be made clear before you agree to show up just how formal the event is, but it’s definitely not unheard of. If it’s a party at night, and you’re going to be moored out on the water with a view of the city, for instance, a dress would be well within reason.

If things aren’t so formal as a boat wedding, then consider a wide-legged pant, a romper, a wrap skirt or really anything you’d wear to a gathering on a beach, or pool type party.

One thing you want to remember when attending any event on a yacht is to not wear heels. I’ve seen it in person and it’s a bad idea. Not that you’re guaranteed to lose your balance, but the odds are definitely leaning towards it. It’s an accident waiting to happen, so stick with flat shoes. 

Are all Boat Parties the Same?

People can throw a boat party for weddings, anniversaries, charity events, retirements and probably a hundred other things. Don’t let the fact that it’s on a yacht throw you off if you’ve never attended one. A party is a party, after all.

If you’re unclear of expectations, feel free to ask. Consider bringing a sweater or light jacket just in case it gets cold and remember that good footwear is extra important on a yacht so you keep your balance. Whether it’s ultra formal or super casual, that will never change.

The Bottom Line

Classy but casual is often an easy way to approach dressing on a yacht. If it’s a party, you may need to step it up a notch, but that will really depend on the party itself and what your hosts expect. Consider linen and other very light, breathable fabrics. Remember boat shoes are the best idea to keep your grip on deck, and don’t forget swimsuits as well as sunglasses and other sun-protection gear.

When it comes to yacht attire, the most important thing to keep in mind is to dress comfortably and appropriately for the occasion. Whether you’re going for a casual day cruise or a fancy evening event, it’s essential to look the part and make a good impression.

For a casual day cruise, dress in comfortable, casual clothing, such as shorts, a t-shirt , and a pair of sneakers. A pair of sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen are also great accessories to protect yourself from the sun’s rays. Additionally, it’s always a good idea to bring a jacket or sweater, as the temperature can drop on the water.

If you’re attending a formal event on a yacht, it’s best to dress in semi-formal or formal attire. Men should wear a suit and tie, while women should wear a cocktail dress or a formal pant suit. You can also accessorize with elegant jewelry or a scarf .

It’s always a good idea to check the dress code for the event you’re attending and to be mindful of the weather forecast. It’s also important to note that the yacht’s owner or charter company may have specific dress codes or guidelines, so make sure to check with them before you set sail.

In general, when it comes to yacht attire, it’s best to err on the side of dressing up rather than down. Remember to dress comfortably, appropriately, and to make a good impression.

about the best shoes to wear on a yacht

When it comes to footwear, it’s important to choose shoes that are comfortable, durable, and appropriate for the occasion. On a yacht, it’s best to avoid wearing high heels or open-toe shoes, as they can be dangerous on the slippery deck.

For a casual day cruise, a pair of comfortable sneakers or boat shoes are a great option. They provide good traction on the deck and are easy to walk in. If you’re planning to do some swimming or water activities, bring a pair of water shoes or sandals that can easily be slipped on and off.

For formal events, men can wear dress shoes, such as loafers or oxfords. Women can choose a pair of low-heel pumps or flats. Make sure to choose shoes that are comfortable to wear for an extended period of time, and that are appropriate for the dress code.

It’s also important to consider the weather and the time of year when choosing shoes. If it’s going to be hot and sunny, choose breathable and light-weight shoes. If it’s going to be cold or rainy, bring a pair of warm and waterproof shoes.

In conclusion, when it comes to yacht attire, shoes are an important aspect to consider. Choose shoes that are comfortable, durable, and appropriate for the occasion. Always keep in mind the weather, the dress code, and the yacht’s guidelines. Happy sailing!

What to Wear to a Yacht Party – Dress Code Decoded

Yacht party etiquette.

Yacht parties blend luxury with the serene beauty of the sea, creating a unique setting for social gatherings. Understanding etiquette and dress code is key to enjoying these exclusive events to the fullest. When it comes to “what to wear to a yacht party,” the stakes are high, as your attire not only reflects your style but also your respect for the host and the occasion.

Navigating the nuances of yacht party fashion can be a breeze with a few guiding principles in mind. From selecting the right fabrics that marry comfort with elegance to choosing outfits that resonate with the time of day and a specific theme of the event, every detail counts. This guide aims to demystify the expectations surrounding yacht party attire, ensuring you make a splash for all the right reasons. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned attendee, understanding the dos and don’ts of yacht party fashion will enhance your experience and ensure you contribute positively to the luxurious ambiance. So, let’s set the course for a deep dive into the world of yacht party etiquette, with a special focus on decoding what to wear to ensure you look your best while enjoying the high seas in style.

Understanding the Yacht Party Dress Code

Yacht party dress codes can vary from casual chic to formal elegance, depending on the occasion. It’s important to inquire about the dress code in advance to ensure your outfit is perfectly suited for the event. This proactive approach not only shows respect for your host’s preferences but also ensures you feel comfortable and confident among the other guests.

Yacht parties often reflect the personality and style of the host, meaning that each event can have its unique twist on attire expectations. For daytime events, you might find a more laid-back, nautical-inspired dress code, favoring light fabrics and vibrant colors that complement the sea’s natural beauty. Evening gatherings, however, may call for a touch of sophistication with cocktail dresses, tailored suits, or even thematic attire that aligns with the party’s motif.

When decoding the dress code, consider the location and time of year. A yacht party in a tropical locale might lean towards breezy summer dresses and linen shirts, while cooler climates could call for layered outfits that still adhere to a chic, nautical aesthetic. Accessories also play a crucial role in your ensemble; select pieces that enhance your outfit without overshadowing the event’s vibe .

Ultimately, understanding and adhering to the yacht party dress code is about finding the perfect balance between personal style and the event’s theme. It’s an opportunity to showcase your fashion sense while respecting the setting and occasion. By doing so, you contribute to the event’s overall elegance and ensure that the party remains an enjoyable and memorable experience for everyone on board.

For Women: Dressing for a Yacht Party

When dressing for a yacht party, women have a myriad of stylish options that blend comfort with elegance. Here are some extended tips to ensure you look your best on the high seas:

Opt for Light Fabrics

Choosing the right fabric is crucial for staying comfortable throughout the event. Beyond cotton and linen, consider silk or chiffon for a touch of luxury that’s still breathable. These fabrics are not only ideal for maintaining comfort in the sun but also move beautifully in the sea breeze, adding a dynamic element to your outfit.

Elegant Evening Wear

Evening yacht parties often call for a step up in formality. A sophisticated cocktail dress or a chic maxi dress remains a perfect choice, with the addition of a lightweight shawl or pashmina to ward off the chill after sunset. Consider the silhouette and neckline of your dress to ensure it’s in harmony with the yacht’s setting—something that offers elegance without sacrificing comfort.

Stay Colorful

The backdrop of the sea and sky provides a perfect canvas for vibrant colors and patterns. Don’t shy away from bold prints or nautical stripes that echo the setting. Pastel shades work beautifully during the day, while jewel tones can add a rich depth to evening attire. Remember, the goal is to complement the beauty of your surroundings without overshadowing it.

Accessorize Wisely

Accessories can elevate your yacht party outfit from simple to stunning. Opt for statement pieces like a bold necklace or chic earrings to add a focal point to your look. However, it’s crucial to balance statement pieces with the overall simplicity of your outfit to maintain an air of understated elegance.

Footwear Considerations

When it comes to footwear, comfort and practicality are key. For daytime events, stylish flat sandals or espadrilles can be perfect. They offer ease of movement on deck without sacrificing style. For evening affairs, a pair of wedged heels can add elegance while still being practical for the yacht’s surfaces. Always choose non-marking soles to avoid scuffing the deck.

Final Touches

Remember, a yacht party is as much about enjoying the setting as it is about socializing. Choose outfits that allow you to move freely and enjoy the amenities offered. Whether lounging on deck, participating in activities, or dancing under the stars , your outfit should enhance your experience, not hinder it.

By keeping these extended tips in mind, women can confidently navigate the dress code for any yacht party, ensuring they look fabulous and feel comfortable from sunup to sundown.

For Men: What to Wear to a Yacht Party

Dressing for a yacht party offers men the chance to showcase their style while adhering to comfort and appropriateness for the maritime setting. Here are some extended guidelines to ensure you’re well-prepared for any yacht party.

Casual Daytime Looks

For daytime events, the key is to combine comfort with style. Alongside polo shirts, consider lightweight, breathable linen shirts that keep you cool under the sun. These can be paired with well-fitted chinos or Bermuda shorts, depending on the level of formality of the event. Choose light colors or pastels to reflect the daylight and contribute to the overall festive atmosphere.

Evening Sophistication

As the sun sets and the event turns more formal, the attire should shift accordingly. A well-tailored blazer, paired with a crisp shirt underneath, can elevate your look instantly. Opt for trousers in navy, beige, or white to maintain the nautical theme. A lightweight cashmere sweater can also be a stylish addition if the evening gets cooler, offering both warmth and sophistication.

Embrace Nautical Themes

Nautical themes offer a playful yet stylish way to dress for a yacht party. This doesn’t mean going overboard with anchor prints or sailor hats but subtly incorporating maritime elements into your outfit. Think navy blue, white, and stripes. A well-chosen accessory, such as a belt or a scarf with a nautical print, can add a touch of personality to your look without detracting from the sophistication.

Footwear Choices

Footwear is an essential aspect of your yacht party attire, blending style with function. For daytime, consider boat shoes or loafers in light colors that match well with both shorts and chinos. For the evening, you can opt for more formal shoes, like brogues or loafers in darker shades. Remember, the shoes should have non-marking soles to protect the yacht deck.

Accessories to Complement Your Look

Accessories play a vital role in completing your yacht party outfit. A stylish pair of sunglasses is a must-have for daytime events to protect your eyes and add a cool factor to your look. A classic watch can also enhance your outfit, offering functionality and elegance. Choose accessories that are understated yet refined to maintain a balance between casual and formal.

Practical Considerations

While style is important, practicality should not be overlooked. Opt for fabrics that offer breathability and comfort, as you’ll be spending time in the sun and by the sea. Additionally, it’s wise to bring a lightweight jacket or blazer for the evening, as temperatures can drop. Always consider the activities planned for the event and dress accordingly, ensuring your outfit allows for a range of motion and enjoyment of the festivities.

By following these extended guidelines, men can confidently dress for any yacht party, ensuring they strike the perfect balance between style, comfort, and appropriateness for this unique setting.

Accessorizing Your Yacht Party Outfit

When planning what to wear to a yacht party, the role of accessories should not be underestimated. They are the finishing touches that can elevate your outfit, ensuring you look polished and put-together. Here’s how to choose accessories that enhance your yacht party attire without compromising on comfort or practicality.

Sunglasses and Hats

The right pair of sunglasses is not just a practical necessity for a day spent on the water; it’s also a style statement. Look for high-quality lenses that offer UV protection to shield your eyes from harmful rays. Frame styles can vary from classic aviators to modern wayfarers, depending on your taste and the vibe of the party.

Hats offer additional protection and can be a stylish accessory for both men and women. Women might opt for wide-brimmed hats that provide ample sun protection while adding an element of glamour. Men can consider a fedora or a Panama hat for a touch of sophistication. Remember, the goal is to complement your outfit and the occasion, so choose hats that are stylish yet functional.

Minimal Jewelry

When it comes to selecting jewelry for a yacht party, the mantra ‘less is more’ certainly applies. For women, simple, elegant pieces like a delicate necklace, a pair of stud earrings, or a thin bracelet can add a touch of sophistication without being too flashy. Men might consider a classic watch or a simple bracelet as a subtle addition to their outfit. The key is to choose jewelry that enhances your look without overpowering it or getting in the way of activities.

Practical Tips for Accessorizing

Match Your Metals : Ensure that your jewelry metals match for a cohesive look. Mixing metals can be done tastefully, but for a yacht party, simplicity often reigns supreme.

Consider the Event’s Theme : If the yacht party has a specific theme, consider accessorizing accordingly. Nautical-themed accessories can be a fun touch for events that embrace the maritime setting.

Quality Over Quantity : Choose a few high-quality pieces over a multitude of cheaper options. This not only elevates your look but also ensures your accessories withstand the elements.

Functionality is Key : Remember that you’ll be on a moving vessel, so choose accessories that won’t easily get lost or damaged. Securely fitted items are preferable to loose, dangling pieces that could catch or fall off.

By thoughtfully selecting accessories that align with the overarching theme of what to wear to a yacht party, you can ensure that your outfit is both stylish and suitable for the unique environment of a yacht. Remember, the right accessories can significantly impact your overall look, providing an extra layer of polish and sophistication to your yacht party attire.

Footwear: Choosing the Right Shoes for a Yacht

Selecting the appropriate footwear is a crucial aspect of preparing for a yacht party. The right shoes not only complement your outfit but also ensure safety and comfort as you navigate the deck. Here’s how to choose wisely:

Non-marking Soles

The primary rule for yacht footwear is to choose shoes with non-marking soles. Yachts often have delicate decking that can be easily scuffed or damaged by hard, dark soles. Look for shoes specifically designed with light-colored, soft soles that leave no traces behind. This consideration shows respect for the vessel and its owner, adhering to yacht etiquette.

Comfort is Key

While style is important, comfort takes precedence when you’re at sea. You’ll likely be standing, walking, or dancing for extended periods, so selecting shoes that offer support and comfort is essential. For women, this might mean choosing wedges or flats instead of high heels, which can be unstable on a moving boat. Men might opt for loafers or boat shoes that provide both comfort and a nautical aesthetic.

Style That Suits the Occasion

Your footwear should match the style and formality of your yacht party attire. For a more casual day event, stylish sandals, boat shoes, or espadrilles are perfectly acceptable and blend well with the maritime environment. For evening events that call for a more formal dress code, choose elegant yet practical footwear that complements your outfit without sacrificing comfort.

Slip Resistance : Besides non-marking soles, look for shoes that offer good grip and slip resistance. Boat decks can become slippery, especially if wet, so shoes with strong treads can help prevent falls and injuries.

Material Matters : Consider the material of your shoes. Leather and canvas are popular choices for yacht footwear because they’re durable and can handle the marine environment. Synthetic materials that allow for breathability and quick drying are also beneficial, especially if they get wet.

Easy to Remove : Shoes that can be easily slipped on and off are practical for yacht settings, where you might be asked to remove them before entering certain areas of the boat to prevent damage to the interior floors.

By following these guidelines for choosing the right shoes for a yacht, you’ll ensure that your footwear is appropriate, comfortable, and stylish. Remember, the best yacht party shoes strike a balance between elegance and practicality, allowing you to enjoy the festivities confidently and comfortably.

However, with the right outfit choices, guided by an understanding of the event’s dress code, you’re now equipped to embrace the occasion with confidence and style. The essence of yacht party attire lies in striking a perfect balance between elegance and comfort, ensuring that you not only look your best but also feel great, able to move, and enjoy the festivities to the fullest.

Remember, the ultimate goal is to harmonize with the luxurious ambiance of the yacht while adhering to the event’s dress code, whether it calls for casual chic, formal elegance, or anything in between.

Moreover, the consideration for non-marking soles on shoes, the emphasis on weather-appropriate layers, and the nod towards nautical themes all contribute to an outfit that is not just visually appealing but also practical and respectful of the yacht’s environment . This attention to detail not only enhances your enjoyment of the event but also reflects a deep respect for the host and the setting.

Here's What to Wear on a Yacht

Are you looking to dress your best on the boat this season? Are you lost when it comes to finding the perfect outfit for your next yachting excursion?

We've got your guide to what to wear on a yacht so you can dress to impress.

Dress for the Occasion

First, you'll need to know what you're doing on the yacht. If you're looking for what to wear on a yacht for a day trip, you'll be in a completely different scenario for an overnight, or if you're only going for dinner.

Plus, standard yacht attire for male-identified people and standard yacht attire for female-identified people attends to be different, so it's important to keep social norms in mind if blending in is an important issue for you.

If you're having dinner on a yacht, go for standard cocktail attire. Dresses for women, and blazers for men. Ballet flats are the perfect shoes for a fancy occasion on a boat. Dresses should be knee-length or longer since they can fly up in the wind on the boat.

Men should make sure their clothes are carefully tailored for a sleek look. For particularly fancy events, like weddings, your hosts will probably send an invite with a dress code, so make sure you read it and follow the instructions for dressing that you're given.

Casual Occasions on a Yacht

If you're headed out on a day trip, men should look at   Bermuda shorts   and other comfortable and practical options. Pants made out of madras, twill, corduroy, or cotton are all great for day trips out on the boat. You can pair them with   deck driver shoes   in a complementary shade. Make sure you also wear socks, while you're at it!

If you plan to try out   water sports , like waterskiing or wakeboarding, while hanging out on the yacht, make sure that you bring a bathing suit or wear it underneath your clothes. That way, you won't end up soaked through at the end of the day.

For people who plan to laze around on deck, the answer to this question is simple. Women can wear a bathing suit, whatever cover-up they feel comfortable with (such as a caftan), sunglasses, and sandals. Men can wear sandals, swim trunks, and a nice polo. You'll suit the occasion and be comfortable while you do it.

Know Your Hosts

If you're planning on paying a visit to someone else's yacht, keep their preferences in mind. Your hosts will have a big impact on the dress code for your yacht trip.

Some people will expect something dressier, and some hosts will expect a more practical look. When in doubt, you can ask them what they have in mind for the day and what they plan to wear! That way, you'll be sure to be appropriately dressed for your upcoming yachting trip.

Go Classic With Your Boating Style

There are a bunch of classic nautical options you can work into your yachting wardrobe. The standard horizontal striped long-sleeved t-shirt, with a boat neckline for women, will never lead you wrong when you wear it out boating.

Everyone loves a   polo shirt   for a day out on the boat. Motifs like anchors, lobsters, fish, and the good old American flag will fit right in while you're fishing off the side of your yacht.

Or, if you'd rather go a little ironic with your yachting outfit, try wearing a classic Hawaiian shirt.

Just make sure you're comfortable with whatever you choose to wear. Confidence is key with any outfit, so while looking appropriate is important, it's also important to feel good about your outfit so you can project that feeling to the world.

Basically, you don't want to overthink it when you're choosing what to wear on a yacht. Dress simply, and don't overaccessorize. Stick to simple color schemes, and stay away from wearing multiple clashing patterns at once.

Be Practical When You Dress for the Yacht

While yachting can be a fancy occasion, it's still important to be practical. Make sure that you wear hats and scarves (along with plenty of sunscreen, ideally with an SPF of at least 15 to keep the sun from burning you.

You can also try   wearing a visor   if you're worried about your head getting too warm. Sunglasses are also a great choice to keep the sun out of your eyes, and you can get them in a wide variety of different styles to suit your needs.

Wear the right shoes to prevent slipping or injury on the deck. Don't wear heels while yachting, in any circumstances. You also don't want to get caught in anything while you're out on the boat. Stick with clothes that fit closer to your body, rather than floaty dresses. That's why you'll want to stay away from scarves, as well.

Make sure any jewelry you wear is waterproof, and stay away from wearing things that could be damaged by the wind or the water. That includes metal that could be damaged. And, it can be colder in the water than on land, so bring an extra sweater or windbreaker for the trip. Layers are always a great choice for being out on the water.

What Should I Wear to a Yacht Party?

The date is set, and your RSVP is confirmed. And you’ve likely spread the word that you’ll soon be attending a party on a yacht in Marina del Rey (because why wouldn’t you?).

But the question still remains…What do you wear?

At FantaSea Yachts, we often hear this from clients hosting an event aboard one of our luxury yachts. Our answer is simple – it depends on the party and the time of day. We’ve compiled a few tips to jumpstart your yacht party inspo board. 

What do I wear to a daytime yacht event?

When the sun is out, it’s a great time to play on the water. We’ve planned countless celebrations – brunches, lunchtime events, and casual cruises – for different groups during the day. All guest attire tends to be similar. Breezy. Light. Think linen pants or jackets, flowing dresses, polo or oxford shirts… relaxed but stylish. This is your chance to dress differently than your normal attire; leave the jeans, t-shirts, leggings, and board shorts at home, and impress your fellow partygoers with a well-put-together outfit. It never hurts to sport a nautical-themed look (navy stripes and gold accents, included) to pay homage to the setting. Don’t think of it as gimmicky – it’s part of the fun! If you’re looking for nautical inspiration, check out this article, 12 Ultra Cute Ways to Wear Nautical-Inspired Clothes.  

For daytime yacht parties, we recommend flat shoes, strappy sandals, low wedges for the ladies, and a pair of classic loafers for the gentlemen. 

What do I wear to a nighttime yacht party?

Whether it’s a boat wedding , milestone bash , or company party , nighttime yacht parties are always magical. From twinkling lights to starry skies, the moment you step onto one of our rooftop sky decks prepared to be WOWED. And that in itself is more than enough reason to dress up extra special. 

Nighttime parties are great for cocktail dresses and semi-formal attire. Ladies, you don’t want to wear anything too long to avoid someone stepping on your dress or your shoe getting caught on the fabric. Go for comfortable glamor. If you opt for a cocktail dress, make sure the length is appropriate. Have fun accessorizing with statement jewelry and your favorite clutch or small shoulder bag (avoid a large tote or purse for an ultra-chic look).

For men, simplicity is the name of the game. Unless the event calls for formal attire, steer away from a tuxedo. Top options include a classic suit, dress slacks with a nice blazer and tie, or dress slacks with a sports coat and tie. Not sure what the difference is between a suit jacket, blazer, and sports coat? This Jos.A.Bank article breaks it down . 

Of course, if your celebration is a yacht wedding , that will bring into account a more specific set of dressing dos and don’ts. Often formal attire will be the norm, but you should always ask your friends who are hosting their wedding on a yacht to see if the ceremony and reception is formal or casual.

Similarly, if the affair is a birthday yacht rental , then check with the hosts to learn if they are planning a unique theme that would require a specific fashion statement.  

What should I always take to a celebration on a  yacht?

There are two stand-out answers to this question: A light sweater or jacket (it’s always cooler on the water), and your favorite pair of sunglasses. Other considerations include sunscreen, a fashionable hat, hair ties (in case it’s too breezy), and lip balm or chapstick. People often ask if motion sickness medication is needed. Our answer is no. The great thing about our cruises is that we stay in the Marina del Rey harbor and don’t go past the breakwater. This eliminates any wave activity (there are NO waves), which makes for an easy, smooth ride. There is virtually no risk of seasickness or motion sickness cruising these calm waters.

What not to wear to a yacht party?

This may seem obvious, but high heels or stilettos are probably the least popular accessory on ANY yacht cruise – day OR night. We also recommended avoiding super casual flip-flops as the look can appear sloppy.

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.

If less than formal, not black tie, can't go wrong with white trousers, db blazer, and yachting cap a la Judge Smails in Caddy Shack. Or red trousers/Nant Reds, sb blazer, and appropriate tie & pocket square. Still with yachting cap. Chipp II, Paul Winston, used to have a tie, and I don't remember if I saw some the last time I was in, that spelled out in nautical signal flags "permission to lay alongside?" Sounds perfect for your event - his # is 212-687-0850. Or if black tie, red trousers and dinner jacket. If you'll be on boats I would recommend appropriate footwear, which is fully acceptable, as is your foul weather gear jacket over all. Thanks.  

Event is in Montauk. No boats, no stinkpots.  

I do like the idea of white or red trousers as well. I bet it would be easier to find white in a more formal fabric such as wool twill. I don't think cotton would be very formal. White would only work during the day of course.  

This is WINTER. You never, ever wear summer whites in winter in nautical kit. I met a Weimar Kreigsmariner who fled nazi Germany whose work with the british is still classified. Fascinating old gent, he came to a military wedding in full uniform boasting both the Iron Cross 1st class and all these R.N. medals. That got looks! It's best to ask your host.

Were I invited?...chap on the left. Alas, I'm not, so I shan't be attending! :icon_smile_wink:  

Again, Edwardian yachting clothes...again I'm not attending. Their loss! :icon_smile_wink:  

I would ask a wedding party member if you can. That is the best way to know for sure.  

Check with your hosts ... but living in the town adjacent to Montauk I might wear a blue or navy blazer preferably with metal buttons, white or silver-grey turtleneck/mock turtleneck, and flannel grey trousers. Depending upon the occasion and my hosts' comments, I might wear: A white shirt with necktie An open sport-collared white shirt with an ascot Charcoal trousers Red Turtleneck Shirt-matching or fancier pocket square Flannel grey or more colorful socks Shoes is a question which must be asked. If you will be boating you must wear boat shoes for the protection of the decking.  

Montauk Yacht Club is not a traditional yacht club, it is a resort and spa open to the public. Formal tradionally means white tie and tails, and is rarely seen at even traditional yacht clubs. I would check with the host but definitly avoid whites and footwear is key. On board or on land? I suspect blazer and tie with darker slack for the season would be fine but you really need to check the hosts definition of formal.  

Even the most diehard East Enders will go no farther than khaki or tan when the temperature here is right now 38.  

teeth clenching... Formal Yacht attire might be one of the snobbiest things I've ever seen...  

Alternatives could be the Johnny Depp/John Belushi Pirate look or, my favourite; crumpled cap, white turtleneck under grey leather coat with a pair of 9x50 bridge binnoculars with untrimmed beard. Now I know why I stopped wearing my old issue peacoat.  

Although... Best look i ever saw was at the Royal Yacht Squadron: drainpipe white trousers (nothing baggy or off white - definitely not beige) with striped socks in solid black oxford shoes (proper lace ups - none of that loafer nonsense) and high 8 button (clearly ancient bespoke) reefer over white shirt and club tie. Priceless.

33+ Yacht Party Attire Ideas: Setting Sail in Style

Sharing is caring!

When it comes to yacht party attire, striking the perfect balance between nautical elegance and casual sophistication is the key to making waves at any maritime soirée.

Imagine cruising on sparkling waters, the sun painting the sky in hues of orange and pink as you sip champagne and nibble on gourmet treats.

This is the essence of a yacht party—a luxurious haven where socialites and fashionistas alike come to unwind and celebrate.

While the captivating beauty of the sea and the allure of social mingling over Insta-worthy treats serve as irresistible opportunities to relax and snap some great social media content, your yacht party attire plays a pivotal role in how you experience it.

Choosing the right yacht party attire is not just a fashion statement; it’s a social grace.

Your outfit is your personal brand’s uniform, helping to form those all-important first impressions and showing who you are and what you represent before you even utter a word.

After all, celebrity fashion stylist Rachel Zoe once said: “Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak!”

Whether you’re aiming for casual sophistication or an evening of glamour, your wardrobe choices can set the tone for the party and ensure that you’re comfortable, confident, and appropriately dressed for the occasion.

Understanding Yacht Party Attire

Yacht parties come in many shapes and styles, from daytime soirees to sunset cocktail events and even formal black-tie affairs.

Understanding the tone of the party you’re attending is essential in getting the dress code right and choosing the appropriate clothing for the occasion.

Types of Yacht Parties

• Daytime Parties: Often casual and sporty, these are the events where you can revel in your love for pastels, shorts, and deck shoes – the stereotypical nautical style. A daytime yacht party typically has a relaxed and airy vibe, ideal for linen dresses, polo shirts, and flip-flops.
• Sunset Parties: As the day turns to evening, the attire takes a more glamorous turn. Think cocktail dresses, tailored jackets, and smart-casual outfits that allow you to transition from day to night seamlessly.
• Formal Events: These are the crème de la crème of yacht parties, where the dress code could range from cocktail attire to full black-tie. Men are expected to show up in tuxedos or at least a well-tailored suit, and women often wear elegant evening gowns or chic cocktail dresses.

Ambiance and Setting

The ambiance is directly influenced by the type of yacht party.

Daytime events are generally cheerful and relaxed, often with summer tunes playing in the background.

It’s almost like a scene from those cool summer music videos that you typically lust over on TV when you’re stuck at home wearing chunky knits in the middle of winter!

You might find people lounging in swimwear, cover-ups, or casual summer dresses. The evening parties, however, usually come with a hint of formality.

Dim lighting, jazz or classical music, and a more sophisticated crowd require an equally sophisticated wardrobe.

Understanding the ambiance and setting not only helps you choose your outfit but also prepares you for the social dynamics of the party.

Always remember, the right yacht party attire can help you navigate through any social sea with grace and confidence.

Daytime Yacht Party Attire 

When the sun is shining and the yacht sets sail for a daytime soiree, think airy, relaxed, and comfortable, but never compromise on style.

The key to nailing daytime yacht party attire lies in lightweight fabrics like cotton, linen, and chambray.

These fabrics not only help to keep you cool but also make you appear effortlessly chic and elegant without looking too over the top.

Women can opt for breathable summer dresses or a stylish combination of tailored shorts with a sleeveless blouse.

Men might consider wearing cotton or linen shorts paired with a crisp polo shirt or even a short-sleeve button-down shirt.

Don’t shy away from nautical prints—think stripes, anchors, or even seashells—to give your outfit that quintessential maritime touch.

Comfortable shoes are a must; you’ll likely be walking around, socializing, or perhaps even dancing. Boat shoes, espadrilles, or sophisticated flip-flops are great choices that blend comfort with style.

Sunset and Evening Yacht Party Attire 

As the day transitions into evening, yacht parties often adopt a more sophisticated and formal tone.

The relaxed shorts and flip-flops that served you well during the day are replaced by chic sundresses, elegant jumpsuits, and smart separates like tailored pants and silk blouses.

Fabrics like silk, satin, or lightweight wool are the perfect way to cover-up in the evening when enjoying watching golden hour turn to sunsets over the sea.

These kinds of fabrics also offer a luxurious touch and are ideal for travel too.

For men, a well-fitted blazer can transform a casual daytime look into a smart evening ensemble when paired with dark jeans or tailored pants.

It’s always a good idea to bring along a stylish layer piece for evening parties, as temperatures can drop quite significantly after sunset.

Women can opt for a lightweight pashmina shawl or a fashionable jacket, while men might consider a lightweight sweater or casual sports jacket.

The key is to choose garments that are easily removable yet blend seamlessly with your outfit, keeping you comfortable without sacrificing style.

Try to avoid tight-fitting sweaters that can mess up your hairdo or makeup or are generally just uncomfortable and tricky to pull on and off over your head. 

Nautical Elements and Color Palette

In the world of yacht parties, the nautical fashion trend is a timeless classic.

You know the one!

Clean, bold navy stripes across a crisp white canvas.

These patterns are usually worn on t-shirts, dresses or shirts and teamed with white shorts or trousers and light canvas shoes.

The palette is usually dominated by navy, white, and accents of red or gold.

These colors not only evoke the maritime spirit but also offer a touch of elegance and simplicity.

Incorporating these shades into your outfit, whether through a navy-blue blazer or a white linen dress, can make a subtle yet striking impact.

Maritime-inspired accessories can serve as the finishing touch. Think anchor-shaped pendants, sailor knots, or even rope belts.

Get creative with nautical-inspired accessories and have fun! What better place to lose yourself in this trend than when dressing for a yacht party at sea!

These little details can provide that extra layer of authenticity and sophistication to your yacht party looks, making you appear not just fashionable but also in tune with the sea-loving setting.

Footwear Choices for Yacht Parties

Your choice of footwear can greatly influence your overall experience at a yacht party.

While you might be tempted to sport those killer heels or brand-new leather loafers, comfort should be your primary concern.

Espadrilles offer a chic yet comfortable solution, providing a cushiony base and ample style.

Boat shoes are another excellent choice, especially for men, as they offer good grip and a timeless look.

Sandals, preferably with a back strap, can also work well, offering both comfort and ease of movement.

While high heels might look glamorous, they can be a recipe for disaster on a boat.

Not only are they uncomfortable when worn for long periods of time, but they also pose a safety risk too, particularly during bouts of turbulence from rough tides or when you’re moving around on a deck that can become slippery from overlapping waves.

When it comes to yacht parties, style should never come at the cost of safety or comfort.

This is your ideal opportunity to dress up and look glamorous minus the heels so why not make the most of it!

Accessorizing for Yacht Glamour 

The right accessories can significantly elevate your daytime yacht attire.  When it comes to elevating your yacht party outfit , accessories play a crucial role.

The right choice of accessories can add that final touch of glamour, converting a good outfit into an extraordinary one. 

Sunglasses are a must, not just as a style statement but also for eye protection. Choose a pair that complements the shape of your face and the vibe of your outfit.

You typically can’t go wrong with classic styles in black, tortoiseshell or metal-rimmed aviators.

For daytime events, statement sunglasses are not just practical for shielding your eyes from the sun; they’re also a cornerstone of yacht chic.

Whether it’s a classic aviator, a retro cat-eye, or an oversized pair, the style you choose can speak volumes.

Hats are another accessory that serves dual purposes: function and fashion.

A wide-brimmed hat can protect you from direct sun exposure while adding a hint of sophistication to your look.

Wide-brim sun hats or casual baseball caps can add flair while offering the practical benefit of shielding you from the sun. 

Similarly, a well-chosen piece of elegant jewelry—perhaps a pearl necklace or a set of gold bangles—can light up your outfit in the evening.

Don’t overlook functional accessories like a chic sunhat for daytime or a stylish clutch for the evening.

These items can hold your essentials while complementing your ensemble.

A light scarf or bandana is another versatile accessory, offering a pop of color and serving as a functional piece to keep your hairstyle and patience intact against the occasional gust of wind.

Remember, accessories are your chance to inject personality into your outfit.

Choose pieces that resonate with your style but also match the event’s theme.

The right balance between practicality and flair can set you apart in the most sophisticated manner.

Navigating Formal Yacht Party Attire

Formal yacht parties take the concept of nautical elegance to the next level.

Dress codes can range from cocktail attire to black-tie, which means a step up from your regular party wardrobe.

Ladies can opt for elegant cocktail dresses that exude sophistication.

Fabrics like silk, chiffon, or lace add a luxurious touch that fits the high-end setting.

If the event is black-tie, an evening gown is more appropriate, preferably in understated colors like black, navy, or metallic shades. 

When choosing an evening dress, try to remember that “less is more” and we don’t mean the amount of material!

Be mindful of not picking a style that’s overly revealing and showing off too much cleavage.

Not only is flashing the skin not deemed appropriate in this type of formal setting, you also run the risk of experiencing a potentially embarrassing wardrobe malfunction when onboard. 

For men, a tailored suit can often suffice for a cocktail dress code.

However, for black-tie events, a tuxedo becomes almost imperative. Look for high-quality materials and a fit that complements your body shape.

Remember, a well-tailored suit or tuxedo not only looks good but also boosts your confidence, enhancing your overall experience at the party.

Packing Essentials and Preparation

Preparing for a yacht party involves more than just choosing an outfit. The trick lies in packing smartly to cover all scenarios.

Your checklist should include not just your main outfit but also layering options, swimwear, and a change of clothes if the party extends into the late hours.

Don’t forget essential accessories like sunglasses, hats, and perhaps even a light scarf or shawl for cooler temperatures.

Always consider the weather forecast and the possibility of water activities when packing.

Ziplock bags can be handy for protecting your phone and other essentials from water damage.

Pack your outfits in garment bags to keep them in good condition and use shoe bags for your footwear to maintain their shape and cleanliness.

Choosing the perfect yacht party attire can feel overwhelming, but it’s all about balancing style with comfort and appropriateness for the occasion.

Whether it’s a casual daytime event or a swanky evening soiree, your outfit sets the tone for your experience.

Never underestimate the power of well-chosen accessories or the importance of appropriate grooming and skincare.

Embrace your personal style but be respectful of the event’s vibe and dress code.

After all, yacht parties are an embodiment of fashion, luxury, and the majestic backdrop of the sea.

If you’re lucky enough to get an invitation to a cool summer yacht party then make sure you revert back to these tips to help you choose the right clothing and accessories for a thoroughly successful and enjoyable boat party experience.
