Recommended DRESS



PARK DRESS


Wear light-colored clothing. Choose light colors which reflect, rather than absorb, the sun's rays.


Opt for sleeveless or loose sleeves. When it comes to summer weather, the goal is to have as much airflow as possible. You don't have to go fully strapless, but consider sleeveless camis and off-shoulder or puff-sleeve blouses. Short-sleeve button-ups are another good option.


Wear shorts or breathable leggings opposed to jean or any tight fitted heavy fabrics.



CRUISE DRESS

The dress code is semi-dress or business casual.

No tank tops allowed. Dress comfortably, but bear in mind temperatures may drop and we will be on water so a light jacket or covering may be necessary. Please wear comfortable shoes.
