Johannesburg is South Africa's business capital — the financial centre of the continent, home to the JSE (Africa's largest stock exchange), the luxury shopping of the Sandton City mall and the surrounding Sandton CBD hotels, and the restaurant culture of Rosebank and Parkhurst that has made Johannesburg one of Africa's most sophisticated dining destinations. The wardrobe responds to a business-first city where the outdoor lifestyle of the Highveld summer adds a specific natural fabric dimension.

The Sandton business context. The Sandton CBD — the luxury hotels (the Four Seasons Hotel at the Westcliff, the Palazzo, the Saxon), the conference facilities, the business lunch culture of the Nelson Mandela Square restaurants. A navy PP linen shirt fully buttoned with linen trousers and leather Oxford shoes for the Johannesburg business casual meeting. The Highveld summer (November through March, regularly exceeding 30 degrees with afternoon thunderstorms) rewards the breathability of natural linen in the business context.

For the Rosebank and Parkhurst restaurant scene. The most vibrant restaurant quarters of Johannesburg — the craft dining culture of Rosebank's The Zone and the outdoor restaurants of Parkhurst's 4th Avenue. A PP linen shirt in white or a composed natural with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Johannesburg evening restaurant.

For the Apartheid Museum and cultural sites. The Apartheid Museum in Ormonde — one of the most significant and most soberly impressive museum experiences in the world. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen trousers and leather shoes for the cultural visit.

For the safari gateway. Johannesburg is the primary departure point for the Kruger National Park and the private game reserves of the Sabi Sands and the Timbavati. The earth-tone PP linen wardrobe for the airport transfer and the bush lodge arrival.
