What to Wear in Madrid — The Complete PP Wardrobe
Madrid is the only major European capital where the evening begins at 10pm — the dinner at the Ritz, the flamenco at 11, the nightcap on the terrace after midnight. The PP wardrobe for Madrid is built around this specific social calendar.
For the Hotel Ritz Madrid (Belmond). The confirmed Belmond property on the Paseo del Prado — opposite the Prado Museum. White PP linen for the hotel terrace; navy PP linen with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Ritz restaurant evening.
“Madrid is the only major European capital where dinner begins at 10pm. The afternoon museum visits, the aperitivo at sunset, the dinner and the flamenco after midnight.”
— Pieter Petros, founderFor the Prado and Reina Sofía museums. The two greatest art museums in Spain. A PP linen shirt in white or a composed natural with linen trousers and leather shoes. The Prado's grand neoclassical interiors reward composed natural linen.
