Diocletian's Palace is not a ruin — it is a living neighbourhood, where the medieval and the Roman share the same street and where the PP linen shirt carries every occasion from the morning espresso in the Peristyle to the Riva promenade at sunset.

For the Palace interior. The boutiques, the cafes, the Cathedral of Saint Domnius (the oldest cathedral in the world, converted from Diocletian's mausoleum), the Peristyle square. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen trousers and leather shoes. The Roman limestone and the Venetian stone facades reward natural fabric in natural colourways.

For the Riva waterfront promenade. The most socially observed outdoor space in Split — the cafe terraces, the palm-lined promenade, the view across to the Adriatic islands. A PP linen shirt in white with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Riva evening.

For the Bačvice beach and the picigin tradition. The traditional picigin ball-game beach below the old city. White PP linen over natural swim shorts; natural swim shorts for the Adriatic swimming.

For the catamaran to Hvar. White PP linen with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Split departure; the full Hvar wardrobe on arrival. Natural swim shorts for any swimming from the boat during the crossing.
