This year's theme is The Golden Age of Amelia - a nod to the late 19th to mid-20th century, when travel became more luxurious and accessible, characterized by elegance and glamour. This era is celebrated for its emphasis on comfort with style, and the excitement of exploring new destinations, or revisiting familiar and nostalgic ones. The vibe is relaxed yet refined - evoking breezy afternoons, harbor front views, and barefoot beach strolls. We invite you to come in your casual coastal attire - breezy maxi dresses or flowy skirts with relaxed-fit blouses for women in blues, sea foam, or white; for the gentlemen, linen or cotton button-down shirts in white or muted colors like sage or driftwood blue and flat-front shorts or chino trousers.
