Capri has a specific and long-established aesthetic for women — the Italian island style that is relaxed but clearly considered, colourful but never casual, effortless in the way that only a very deliberate wardrobe achieves. The Piazzetta, the boutique-lined lanes, the boat trips to the Faraglioni, the evening restaurants above the port — each has its own register and the wardrobe that carries all of them is one built on natural fabric in a considered palette.

For the Piazzetta and the lanes. The heart of Capri's social life — the small central square and the shopping lanes that radiate from it — is among the most observed public spaces in Italy. A PP women's linen set in white or oyster, or a linen blouse with linen trousers, with leather sandals. The Capri aesthetic rewards natural fabric and composed colourways; the PP women's linen set reads as belonging here.

For the boat trips. The circuit of the island — the Blue Grotto, the Faraglioni arches, the swimming coves — is a physical, outdoor occasion. A PP women's linen shirt open over a swimsuit, with leather sandals. The natural fabric that manages the sea spray and the sun and transitions to the quayside lunch without adjustment.

For the beaches and the sea. The Marina Piccola beach, the Bagni di Tiberio — a PP women's linen shirt as cover-up over a swimsuit. White or oyster for the direct sun.

For the Capri evening. The dinner at a restaurant above the port, the cocktail at a terrace bar, the evening passeggiata through the Piazzetta — a PP women's linen set or dress in a deeper natural tone, a warm earth, or a composed navy, with heeled leather sandals. Capri at its evening best rewards the garment that has thought about the setting.
