travel clothing

I shall follow this with interest too. No dresses or anything like that in my wardrobe so I need ideas for the same reason. I did come across an Indian clothes shop and thought I may buy a skirt from there.

Me buying a skirt! Cannot believe I wrote that.

On the subject of clothes if anyone needs any warm walking or trekking trousers I recently bought some Rohan lined roamers. Excellent!

Next have a pretty good selection including the famous linen blend dress in the swimwear section .

This is where you ditch the shops and go online, all the major names have summer clothing in their online shops.

There may be a boutique on the boat, but that will be expensive. Why not look for some local wares at you First port of call?

Agree with situp have a look online. Most shops do sell some summer things all year round. Debenhams maybe? Check the average temperatures for your destinations, they can vary hugely. Have a wonderful time.

The temperatures would seem to be mid to high 20s, which I find quite hot. It's a small ship, only 100 ,passengers so visiting out of the way places with maybe not many shops. Difficult to do online when you can't feel the fabric, I don't want the hot sweaty man made ones. Guess I will have to get used to returning stuff, which I seem to find difficult. No idea why.

If you look on White STuff they still have all their summer sale things on line - I'm sure other high streets will have too- try Debenhams and Monsoon.

Just looked at White Stuff sale. Perfect! Thanks for the idea

Another satisfied customer

I bought few in charity shops this autumn for srilanka in January.

Try an outlet village. They often have out of season items being sold off.

Was in Debenhams today, they had a huge reduced section full of summer clothes. If there’s one near you it’s worth a look. In a White Stuff Outlet yesterday, it was crammed with summer stuff. Lots of people buying while I was in search of warm sweaters. Aren’t we all different with temperature? I’d find mid to high 20’s comfortable. Mr C on the other hand would cook . I’m sure the clothes will work out, enjoy your cruise, I’m sure it will be very special.
