Saint Lucia is one of the most visually dramatic islands in the Caribbean — the twin Piton peaks rising from the sea near Soufrière, the rainforest interior, the black sand beaches of the south and the white sand of the north. The island's luxury resort community — Jade Mountain, Anse Chastanet, Sugar Beach — is among the finest in the region, and the wardrobe that carries Saint Lucia correctly spans the extraordinary natural environment and the resort formality equally.

For the north — Rodney Bay and Cap Estate. The marina restaurants of Rodney Bay, the beach at Reduit, the St Lucia Golf Club — natural linen in the resort casual register. White PP linen shirt over natural swim shorts for the beach; a PP linen shirt in a composed colourway with linen trousers and leather loafers for the marina evening. For women: a PP ladies linen set in white or a warm natural.

For Soufrière and the Pitons. The most visually extraordinary part of Saint Lucia — the volcanic crater, the drive-in volcano, the botanical gardens, the view of the Pitons from Jade Mountain's infinity pool. A PP linen shirt in a warm earth tone with linen trousers and leather shoes for the cultural and natural site visits. The natural fabric palette that connects to the volcanic landscape.

For the luxury resorts. Jade Mountain's open-wall suites, Anse Chastanet's hillside rooms — these are resorts that reward natural fabric in the natural setting. White PP linen over natural swim shorts for the infinity pool and the beach below; a composed PP linen set for the resort restaurant evening.

For women in Saint Lucia. A PP ladies linen set in white or oyster for the beach and the resort pool; the Amelia dress shirt in a composed colourway for the dinner at Jade Mountain's Celestial Terrace.
