What to Wear in Sicily as a Couple — The Complete PP Wardrobe
Taormina, Cefalù, the Aeolian Islands — the matched PP couple's wardrobe for the Mediterranean's most dramatic island.
The individual Sicily articles cover the destination separately. This piece addresses Sicily for a couple — the shared experiences of Taormina, the Aeolian Islands boat circuit, and the beach towns of the north coast.
For the Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo in Taormina. The most formally observed hotel in Sicily — the terrace with the Mount Etna view above the Greek Theatre. A navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes for him; the Amelia linen dress shirt in Oyster or Coral Orange for her. The most observed couple's evening in Sicily.
“The Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo in Taormina has the finest view of any hotel in Sicily — Mount Etna across the bay, the Greek Theatre in the foreground. The couple's evening wardrobe here is the most observed in the island.”
