1. STATEMENT HATS
You are going to one of Greece’s most beautiful islands without a beautiful straw hat ? That’s not possible ! You will need a hat not only for the style of it but so you don’t burn from the hot Greek sun ! After the rise of the Jacquemus , hats have become maybe the most needed fashion accessory for summer !
