The Bahamas is a destination of extraordinary natural beauty — the hundreds of islands and cays of the archipelago, the turquoise shallow water of the Exumas, the colonial architecture of Nassau, the private island retreats of the Out Islands. The wardrobe that carries the Bahamas correctly spans this full range: from the beach at Harbour Island to the colonial formality of the Nassau Club to the total privacy of a rental villa on a deserted cay.

Nassau and Paradise Island. The colonial architecture of the historic centre, the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island, the boutiques and restaurants of Bay Street — Nassau rewards natural linen in composed colourways. A PP linen shirt in white or navy with linen trousers and leather loafers carries the Nassau town and the resort hotel context correctly. For women: a PP women's linen set in oyster or a composed natural.

Harbour Island and the pink sand beach. The pink sand beach of Harbour Island is among the most photographed in the world. The island's village character and its community of high-profile residents and visitors produce a relaxed but visually aware social register — white PP linen over natural swim shorts or a swimsuit, leather sandals. The natural fabric that belongs on this extraordinary beach.

The Exumas and the Out Islands. The uninhabited cays, the swimming pigs of Major Cay, the private islands accessible only by boat or small aircraft — the most remote and most naturally extraordinary part of the Bahamas. White PP linen over natural swim shorts, leather sandals. The complete natural fabric beach wardrobe for the Bahamas at its most raw.

For the evening. The restaurants of Nassau and Harbour Island, the villa dinners — a navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes. For women: the Amelia dress shirt in a natural colourway or the PP ladies linen set in a deeper tone.
