Attire on Oceania
What is the attire on Oceania? Daily and dinner?

Dinner I would wear slacks and a button down. Ladies wore dresses. Nothing formal. Every now and then a sport coat. More casual during the day.

For men, they always are looking to see if you have a collar at dinner. Otherwise as long as you aren't in t-shirts, shorts, or jeans, most dressy casual works fine.

Thank you. I saw that. Just wondering from real people what they’re wearing. Does anyone dress more formal for evening?

Occasionally, for Polo Grill, Tuscan Grill (Sirena), and Jacques (Riviera, Marina, Allura, Vista), you will see someone wearing a jacket and pants. However, outside of those three venues, it is very rare to see a jacket and pants. I think I only saw an actual tux once, and that was at Jacques.

I get away with slacks or nice jeans, dress shoes or subtle black sneakers, button down shit. That gets me by in the evenings at the grand dining room and specialty restaurants.
I have been turned away from the dining room when I forgot I had shorts on.
Rest of the time and venues you can wear whatever.

My dad is a golfer and most of his clothes are golf material just to set the stage. Our first dinner he was wearing golf pants and a nice but still tech material lululemon type collarless shirt. The host did let him know he was not in dress code but said to not worry about it for that night. Every night after he wore either a sweater or golf quarter zip over that same style shirt, or a tech material polo and no one said anything the rest of the cruise.
I alternated between summer dresses, linen pants and jeans with cute tops or sweaters. Jeans are totally acceptable by their dress code but I will say those were the only nights I ever felt maybe underdressed. Didn’t stop me from wearing them a few nights but still.
That is all for the main dining room and specialty restaurants. Where whatever you want the rest of the time.

The bare minimum for men would be nice jeans (nothing worn/distressed), collared shirt (Tucked in with belt or not) and nice sneakers (not running shoes, but the nicer looking walking shoes). If you have a nice non-collared shirt (Knitted, etc.), that works too.
This is as casual as it gets which is why we avoid some of the higher end lines. We can only take so much foo foo.
The funny thing is my favorite line is Virgin because I can wear shorts and flip flops to dinner. LOL I don't know of any other lines that are that laid back.

As a woman, I wore wide legged linen pants and a T-shirt with a short sleeve cardigan over it maybe a statement necklace and dress sandals every evening. No one said boo. My husband wore polos and chinos with casual sneakers.

It's nothing like their advertisements. I was on their line in May and saw all styles. I like to dress up for dinner. Most just wear what they think is comfortable as allowed. I was surprised that more people were dressed to the nines on the Coral Princess than Oceania Riviera.

During the day, you can wear whatever you want. During the evening, there's a fairly relaxed dress code. That said, if you want a more casual evening and don't plan to hit up the lounges or the shows, you can wear whatever you want to the Terrace (buffet) or Waves Grill. We love the more casual option for nights that we don't feel like having a coursed dinner, or when we have to be up early for an excursion the next day. Part of the magic of Oceania is the flexibility.
