What to Wear in Split — The Complete PP Wardrobe
What to Wear in Split — The Complete PP Wardrobe
Split — Diocletian's Palace, the Riva waterfront, the island ferries, the Dalmatian evenings — the PP linen wardrobe.
Split is Croatia's second city and one of the most architecturally extraordinary urban destinations in the Mediterranean — the Old Town is built inside and around the walls of Diocletian's Palace, a Roman emperor's retirement complex from the early fourth century that has been continuously inhabited for 1,700 years. The UNESCO World Heritage Site functions simultaneously as a living neighbourhood, a bar and restaurant district, and one of the most dramatic ancient buildings in Europe. The wardrobe that carries Split correctly responds to this layered context.
For Diocletian's Palace and the Peristyle. The heart of Split — the ancient Roman columns, the Cathedral of Saint Domnius (converted from Diocletian's mausoleum), the Peristyle square where locals drink coffee in the shadow of columns that predate the Byzantine Empire. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen trousers and leather shoes. The ancient stone and the limestone brightness of the Dalmatian coast reward the natural palette — white and warm naturals connect to the material landscape.
“Split is built inside a Roman emperor's retirement complex from the early fourth century — continuously inhabited for 1,700 years. The wardrobe that carries it correctly responds to this layered context: natural fabric in the natural palette of the Dalmatian limestone.”
— Pieter Petros, founderFor the Riva and the waterfront. The Riva promenade along the waterfront is Split's social heart — the café terraces, the palm trees, the ferries leaving for the islands. A PP linen shirt in white or oyster with linen shorts or linen trousers and leather sandals or loafers, depending on the time of day. The Riva rewards a composed casual wardrobe throughout the day.
For the islands. Split is the gateway to the Dalmatian islands — Hvar, Brač, Šolta, Vis, accessible by fast ferry or catamaran. Natural swim shorts and a white PP linen shirt for the island day trip, leather deck shoes. The water-capable combination for the Adriatic island-hopping context.
For the evenings. Split's restaurant scene — the konoba restaurants in the palace lanes, the waterfront fish restaurants, the rooftop bars above the Riva. A navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes. The Dalmatian evening rewards composition in the natural linen register.
