For Sandy Lane Hotel. The most formally observed luxury hotel in the Caribbean. White PP linen for the hotel beach and the Sandy Lane pool; a navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Sandy Lane restaurant evening. The Sandy Lane dress code is smart casual at minimum for dinner — the most formally observed hotel occasion in the Caribbean.

For the Platinum Coast beaches. Paynes Bay, Gibbs Beach, Mullins Beach — the calm west coast beaches. White PP linen over natural swim shorts; leather sandals. The turquoise Caribbean water and the fine white sand make white PP linen the only visually correct choice at the Platinum Coast.

For the Oistins Fish Fry on Friday night. The most genuinely Barbadian social occasion — the standing fish stalls, the rum punch, the soca music. A PP linen shirt in a vivid colourway with linen shorts and leather sandals. The Oistins Fish Fry is the one Barbados occasion where the most casual and most colourful end of the PP wardrobe is explicitly correct.

For The Cliff restaurant. The most celebrated fine dining restaurant in Barbados — the clifftop setting above the sea. A navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes; the PP Monte Carlo Blazer in natural silk for the Cliff's most formally observed occasion.
