Planning to trade the cold winter for sunny shores? Whether your escape takes you to the Caribbean, the Maldives, Dubai or the Canary Islands, what you pack matters just as much as where you’re headed. The secret to travelling well lies in effortless style.

At Pier St. Barth, we design with these moments in mind, blending European tailoring with laid-back island ease. Our collections capture the spirit of endless summer - timeless men’s resort fashion crafted for travel, leisure, and life lived in warm light. 

Why Linen is a Winter Sun Essential

Nothing captures the spirit of a winter sun getaway quite like linen. Lightweight, breathable and naturally cooling, it is the fabric made for warm climates. Linen not only keeps you comfortable on hot days and balmy nights, it also has a relaxed elegance that perfectly fits the pace of island life.

Pier St. Barth Linen Essentials

Linen Shirts

Pier St. Barth Linen shirts are a true cornerstone of men’s resort fashion. Choose crisp whites for timeless appeal or soft pastels for a subtle pop of color. Wear them open over swim shorts during the day or buttoned up with tailored trousers when the sun goes down.

Linen Shorts

Pier St. Barth linen shorts offer a tailored silhouette with relaxed comfort, making them versatile enough for exploring the city, a beachside lunch or an afternoon spent lounging by the pool.

Linen Pants

Pier St. Barth linen pants are the perfect companion for chill evenings, long travel days or when you want to elevate your look. Pair them with a linen shirt for a resort-ready outfit or dress them up with an overshirt or blazer for a sophisticated dinner look.

Swimwear: The Centerpiece of Your Winter Escape

No winter sun holiday is complete without the right swimwear. After all, it is the piece you will wear most on your tropical getaway. At Pier St. Barth, swim shorts are more than just functional; they are tailored, versatile and refined, designed to move seamlessly from the water to resort settings without missing a beat.

Why Pier St. Barth swim shorts stand out:

• Tailored Fit: Our swim shorts strike the balance between comfort and sophistication. They are relaxed enough for the beach but polished enough for a seaside lunch or beach club.
• Quick-Dry Fabrics: Premium materials ensure a seamless transition from ocean swim to resort terrace. No waiting around, no compromise on comfort.
• Effortless Style: Offered in a curated palette of timeless solids, bold prints and understated resort tones, they complement everything from a crisp linen shirt to a relaxed tee.
  

Take along at least two pairs of swim shorts so you always have a fresh, dry option ready for your next swim or an unexpected beach stop.

Lightweight Layers for Cool Evenings

Even in the most sun-soaked destinations, evenings can bring a more chilled-out vibe. The key is layering with pieces that add comfort and look stylish at the same time. At Pier St. Barth, we create transitional layers that are versatile, lightweight and designed for travel, making them essentials for any winter sun wardrobe.

What to pack for effortless layering

Linen Hoodies

A casual staple with a unique twist. Unlike bulky sweatshirts, linen hoodies are breathable and refined, perfect for slipping on after a swim or wearing during an evening beach walk. They bring relaxed ease while still looking polished enough for resort life.

Overshirts

The ultimate in versatility, an overshirt bridges the gap between casual and smart. Pair it with linen shorts during the day for a laid-back look or wear it over trousers at night when you want something sharper. Lightweight and packable, it is a piece that can be re-styled to put together different looks

On travel days or long flights, throw on a light cardigan or unlined jacket. It keeps you comfy in transit and still looking put-together when you land. 

The Finishing Touches: Resort Accessories & Essentials

The right accessories can completely change how you travel. They’re the little things that make your trip smoother, your outfits sharper, and your days a lot more comfortable.

Footwear

Keep it simple and practical. Pack slides or flip-flops for lazy beach days, light sneakers or loafers for travel and exploring and one pair of espadrilles or leather loafers for evenings out. With these three, you’ll be covered from pool to dinner without overpacking.

Sun Protection & Headwear

A good pair of sunglasses and a Panama hat are non-negotiable. They look great and actually protect you from that tropical sun. Toss in a reef-safe sunscreen, SPF lip balm and after-sun lotion to keep your skin in check after long days outside.

Travel Bags

Go for a canvas tote or day bag that fits everything you’ll need by the pool or around town. For the journey itself, a leather weekender or structured duffle keeps things stylish and organized. If you’re planning boat days or coastal adventures, bring a beach bag, reusable bottle and waterproof phone pouch - you’ll thank yourself later.

Belts & Accessories

Small details go a long way. A braided or canvas belt adds texture to linen outfits, while a simple bracelet or classic watch gives just enough polish without feeling overdone.

Grooming & Skincare

Stick to the basics, but make them good. Pack travel-size skincare - a hydrating moisturizer, sunscreen, deodorant, facewash and toothpaste, plus your signature fragrance, and you’re sorted.

Everyday Essentials

Don’t forget the comfort stuff. Breathable underwear, soft socks, a linen pajama set or a tee-and-shorts combo for lounging. A portable charger, adapter and packing organisers make travel easier, while a first-aid kit keeps you covered. Add headphones or a good book for flight downtime or lazy afternoons by the pool.

Outfit Ideas: From Beach to Dinner

The real beauty of luxury resortwear lies in its adaptability. A well-packed suitcase should take you from sunlit mornings by the water to evening dinners under the stars without the need for multiple outfit changes. 

How to style your getaway wardrobe?

Beach to Bar

Start the day in tailored swim shorts designed for the ocean but polished enough for a beach club. Layer on an open linen shirt for an easy transition to lunch or sundowners. Finish with slides and sunglasses for an effortless, laid-back vibe that still feels put-together.

Daytime Exploring

Whether you are strolling through local markets, heading out on a yacht or exploring hidden coastal spots, comfort meets sophistication in a long-sleeve linen shirt with sleeves casually rolled. Pair it with linen pants for ease of movement and finish with espadrilles for a stylish look that can handle both city streets and sandy paths.

Sunset Dinner

As the sun goes down, elevate your look with a crisp white linen shirt tucked into beige linen trousers. This is a perfect look for a nice dinner or evening cocktails.

Packing Tips for a Winter Sun Getaway

When it comes to packing for a warm-weather escape, less is always more. Build a wardrobe that’s light, versatile and easy so you can focus on the trip, not your suitcase.

Stick to neutral tones like white, sand and soft blue so everything mixes and matches effortlessly. Use packing cubes to stay organized and keep a small essentials pouch handy with things like sanitizer, tissues, earbuds and a reusable water bottle. A tech organizer for chargers and travel documents will make unpacking quick and stress-free once you arrive.

Travel light, stay organized, and make every piece count. That’s the Pier St. Barth way to pack for the sun.

Conclusion

From crisp linen shirts and tailored trousers to mid-length swim shorts and lightweight layers, each piece is designed for the modern traveler. Whether it’s a winter escape to the Caribbean, a summer in the Mediterranean, or a weekend by the coast, Pier St. Barth resortwear adapts seamlessly to every destination and every moment.

Our philosophy is rooted in timelessness. We believe resortwear should transcend seasons, offering versatility that allows you to pack less and wear more. With a focus on breathable fabrics, thoughtful cuts and luxury, our collections are built for travelers who value both style and simplicity.

At its heart, Pier St. Barth is about living with ease, dressing with intention and making every journey feel as effortless as the clothes you wear.
