TASONI STYLE GUIDE

ALAIA, JW ANDERSON, JACQUEMUS, VALENTINO

Hydra has a character entirely its own. Just a short journey from Athens, the island is known for its preserved stone architecture, dramatic coastline and car-free streets, where walking and boats remain the primary ways to get around. Dressing for Hydra follows the same unhurried rhythm, with pieces that work across swimming, exploring and long evenings by the water.

For the warmest part of the day, Alaïa offers two approaches to seaside dressing. The black Tassel Bikini Set is cut in bonded jersey with a triangle top and low-waisted bottom, finished with adjustable tassel ties. Over swimwear, the Alaïa Silk Linen Kaftan Dress offers a light layer in a slightly sheer silk and linen knit, with long sleeves and a straight silhouette.

Natural materials feel particularly at home against Hydra’s stone streets and clear blue water. The JW Anderson Small Raffia Bag introduces woven texture in a compact shape, while Jacquemus Les Lunettes Curvo Sunglasses bring sculptural contrast through their oversized curved lenses and wraparound frame.

As the day moves toward dinner, richer tones shift the mood. The Lanvin Relaxed Fit Charmeuse Dress falls loosely through the body in deep wine, its lustrous surface catching the evening light. Valentino intricate Small Embroidered Drawstring Bag adds artisanal detail and texture, offering a more decorative counterpoint to the simplicity of the dress.

The result is a Hydra wardrobe built around pieces that suit the reality of the island: swimwear worth wearing beyond the beach, light layers for moving through town, tactile accessories and dresses that require little more than a change of shoes or bag to carry into the evening.
