The Struggle Is Real

  • Do you feel like you have been locked up forever

  • First with covid and then a never ending winter

  • Finally the vaccine is rolling out and Spring is coming

  • You deserve clothing that will make you feel fresh, light and free again

The last year has been an ordeal for us all, and now we just can't wait for a little sunshine and freedom.

You want to add some bright, fresh color to your life, but don't forget that as things heat up, you don't want to get caught out feeling sweaty and uncomfortable in the heat because your clothing is in the wrong fabrics.

After living, working & sailing in the Caribbean heat for 10 years, I understand how that feels.

You deserve to look and feel good this summer. You have had enough of lockdown, now its time for some FUN. Don't let your wardrobe hold you back!

Time to break out and get some Spring sunshine

  • Get clothes that will be breathable and allow the heat to escape away from your skin (not like synthetic fabrics)
  • Don't end up in a pool of sweat. (Been there done that and had to race home to change... Yuck!)
  • Get versatile outfits to wear from the shops, to the beach or even dress them up and wear them out to dinner (Your friends will be so jealous hehe)
  • Look incredible. (Designed by top Australian fashion designer)
  • Feel confident that you made the right choice (Our cover-ups are high quality)

After all those years in the Caribbean and most of it on a boat with no air conditioning. I know what it’s like to need clothes that are made specifically for hot, humid days.

I’ve made the mistake of wearing polyester in the tropics and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. It’s why I started West Indies Wear, to help women just like me not make the mistakes I made.

There’s nothing like wearing the right clothes for the right climate.

Tales from our Island Friends

"I love my Starfish beach tunic! Roomy, keeps me cool on warm days and even doubles as a great top that I wear out to dinner with a white skirt, shorts or crop pants. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on it and of course I selected it because our Catalina 350 is named ‘Starfish’ and it’s colors are navy and white!"

— Chris Kusy Kleinstuber

"My coral colour starfish tunic enjoying the sunshine on beautiful Cable Beach, Australia.  Lovely pure cotton beach and resort wear like this is hard to find!"

— Barbara Janczak

"Love, love, love, my West Indies Wear! I have been wearing WIW for about 3 or 4 years now, and I just can't get enough of them. I wear them as a cover-up, a top, pants, and sarongs. They are so comfortable, cool, and breezy. I have turned my friends and family on to them, and they are now wearing them too."

— Dawn De Rosa


The heaviness you have been feeling for the last year has been hard, but now the season is changing and its time to brighten up your life. You deserve clothing that will make you feel fresh, light and free again.

Make the right choice and buy quality cotton cover ups, that will keep you cool even when the season turns into the full heat of summer. You will feel good knowing you made the right choice.

There’s nothing good that can come out of wearing cheap synthetic clothes that do not breath. The sweat will stay on your skin, even causing you heat rashes (they’re like wearing a plastic bag.)
