A dozen years ago; I purchased my first Panama hat, since then I’ve never fallen out of love with the Panama.

Although the love story of my first Panama ended in a hat tragedy – a runner robbed it right off my head while I was wearing it in Paris, summer 2011… I soon replaced my lost love with many new Panama hats – Oh well, if you loose one; trade up and multiply!
The best thing about Panama hats, is that they are incredibly versatile! Whether we wear a floral dress; T-shirt and jeans/shorts; a summer maxi dress; shirts and pants or linen suits ( basically anything ), adding a Panama hat gives our whole look a boyish chic; a vacation feel; and it takes us to an exotic time…

Sunny or not, I wear my Panama hats almost on a daily basis. They aren’t just my wardrobe essentials this summer, they are a major part of my personal style.
