What to Wear in Malta — The Complete PP Wardrobe

Malta — Valletta's limestone city, the Blue Lagoon, Mdina, the summer evenings — the PP linen wardrobe.

Pieter Petros July 2026 5 min read Destination

Malta is one of the Mediterranean's most historically layered destinations — the Baroque architecture of Valletta (Europe's smallest capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the prehistoric temples of Ġgantija that predate Stonehenge, the Knights of St John fortifications, the azure waters of the Blue Lagoon on Comino, and the sandstone coloured landscapes that distinguish the Maltese islands from every other Mediterranean destination. The wardrobe responds to this extraordinary density of cultural heritage and natural beauty.

For Valletta. The fortified capital — the Grand Harbour, the Barrakka Gardens, the Cathedral of St John with Caravaggio's masterpieces, the Strait Street restaurants and bars. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen trousers and leather shoes. The limestone architecture of Valletta rewards the warm natural palette — oyster, natural, warm earth tones connect to the sandstone cityscape. The Valletta evening, when the floodlit fortifications create one of the Mediterranean's most dramatic nightscapes, rewards a navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes.

For Gozo and the Three Cities. The ferry across to the more agricultural and quieter island of Gozo — the Citadella fortress in Victoria, the Azure Window site, the diving of Dwejra Bay. A PP linen shirt in a warm earth tone with linen trousers or linen shorts and leather shoes or sandals. For the Three Cities (Birgu, Senglea, Bormla) across the Grand Harbour from Valletta — the same composed wardrobe for the historic waterfront.

For Comino and the Blue Lagoon. The day trip to the uninhabited island — the famous turquoise Blue Lagoon. Natural swim shorts and a white PP linen shirt, leather sandals. The beach day on the most photographed stretch of water in the Mediterranean.

For the Maltese summer evenings. Malta's summer restaurant scene — the terraces of Valletta, the waterfront restaurants of St Julian's and Sliema, the Mdina evening. A navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes or a PP shoe from the collection.
