Destination: St. Barth's
Tips Text Size A A A
Dress code: Warnings about sun damage seemed not to have reached St. Barth’s. Men and women alike sport bronzed skin and fashions that make the most of it. Women wear bikinis (regardless of their figure) and cover-ups, from the super clingy crocheted to flowing caftans with embroidery or sequins. For men, the daytime uniform tends to be brightly printed bathing trunks of the Vilebrequin variety, or longish shorts with linen shirts. Evening dress remains casual and sexy. You’ll see women in white pants and flirty tops or filmy dresses with strappy sandals or wedges. It’s linen shirts or printed cotton ones for men with long pants and flip-flops or leather moccasins, preferably from Laurent Effel. The aim is a kind of natural, effortless beauty that looks seductive just off the beach and freshly showered.
