Dress Code

July in Puglia means serious heat — we're talking 30°C+ with full sun. Linen or linen-blend suits in terracota, stone, taupe, tuscan gold, and sage are ideal. Skip the tie or opt for an open collar. Light-colored dress shirts work well. Shoes: loafers, leather derby shoes, or suede in tan or warm brown. No black suits — they absorb heat and look too formal against the rustic-chic setting of the masseria.
