Bodrum is the jewel of the Turkish Aegean — the whitewashed town that spills down the hillsides to the twin harbours below the Crusader castle of St Peter, the gulet sailing culture of the Bodrum Peninsula, the luxury hotels and beach clubs of Türkbükü and Yalıkavak, and the international community of luxury villas and superyachts that has made Bodrum Turkey's most glamorous summer destination. The wardrobe responds to a destination that rewards natural fabric in composed colourways, with a specific respect for the Turkish cultural context.

For the Bodrum town and the Castle of St Peter. The Castle of St Peter — the Crusader fortress that anchors the town — and the adjacent marina and bazaar quarter. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen trousers and leather shoes. The whitewashed walls and blue window frames of Bodrum's characteristic architecture reward natural fabric in white and warm naturals that connect to the building materials.

For Türkbükü. Bodrum's most glamorous beach village — the celebrity and superyacht bay where the beach clubs and the moored gulets produce the most observed luxury beach culture on the peninsula. White PP linen shirt open over natural swim shorts for the beach and the gulet deck; the same shirt more fully buttoned for the Türkbükü beach club terrace.

For Yalıkavak and the Marina. The luxury marina and the developed restaurant and boutique culture of Yalıkavak — one of the most socially observed areas of the peninsula. A navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Yalıkavak Marina evening.

For the gulet sailing. The traditional Turkish wooden sailing vessel — the gulet — is the quintessential Bodrum experience. Natural swim shorts and a white PP linen shirt for the gulet deck; leather deck shoes. The blue cruise (mavi yolculuk) along the Aegean coast: the PP natural fabric wardrobe at its most appropriate.
