What to Wear in Nantucket — The Complete PP Wardrobe
What to Wear in Nantucket — The Complete PP Wardrobe
The White Elephant Hotel, the cobblestone Main Street, Cisco beach — the PP wardrobe for New England's most composed summer island.
Nantucket is the island 30 miles south of Cape Cod — the former whaling capital of the world, now the most concentrated expression of American East Coast old-money summer culture. The cobblestone streets, the grey-shingled houses, the Straight Wharf restaurants, the White Elephant Hotel on the harbour and The Wauwinet on the eastern end anchor the luxury accommodation.
For the White Elephant Hotel. The harbour-front luxury hotel — the waterfront setting, the Brant Point lighthouse view, the hotel's own dock. White PP linen for the hotel waterfront; a composed navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers for the White Elephant restaurant evening.
“Nantucket's town aesthetic rewards composed natural fabric over anything fast-fashion or branded. The cobblestone streets, the grey-shingled houses, the Straight Wharf — natural linen in white and warm naturals reads as correctly composed throughout.”
— Pieter Petros, founderFor the Nantucket town and the cobblestones. Main Street, the town's Federal architecture, the boutiques of the Straight Wharf. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen trousers or linen shorts and leather shoes. Nantucket's town aesthetic rewards composed natural fabric.
For the south shore beaches. Surfside, Cisco — the most Atlantic-exposed beaches. White PP linen over natural swim shorts, leather sandals.
For the Great Point lighthouse. The 4WD vehicle access beach at the northeastern tip. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural for the beach at the point.
