What to Wear in Abu Dhabi as a Couple — The Complete PP Wardrobe

Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Louvre Abu Dhabi, Saadiyat Island — the matched PP couple's wardrobe for the UAE capital.

Abu Dhabi is more conservative and more culturally observed than Dubai — the capital of the UAE, where the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque sets the cultural standard and the Louvre Abu Dhabi is one of the finest museums in the region. Understanding what Abu Dhabi asks of both partners produces a wardrobe that is culturally respectful and visually coherent.

The public area context for both. Abu Dhabi's public areas ask for covered shoulders and legs for both men and women. A PP men's linen shirt fully buttoned with linen trousers, and a PP women's linen shirt fully buttoned with linen trousers: both in white, or him in white and her in oyster — the matched natural material reads as considered together.

“Both partners in certified Belgian linen — him in white PP linen shirt with linen trousers, her in PP women's linen shirt with linen trousers — reads as considered and coherent together at the Sheikh Zayed Mosque and the Louvre Abu Dhabi.”

For the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. The most beautiful mosque in the UAE. Both partners require covered dress; the mosque provides abayas and headscarves for women at the entrance. The PP linen shirt with linen trousers underneath the abaya is the most comfortable base in the Abu Dhabi heat.

For the Saadiyat Island resort hotels. The St Regis Saadiyat and the Jumeirah at Saadiyat — the resort beach hotels where the international resort wardrobe applies. A PP Natural Set for him; a PP ladies linen set in white for her.

For the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Jean Nouvel's museum — white PP linen in the extraordinary filtered light of the geometric dome, for both partners.
