what is your hat style?

Hats have certainly been around for a long time, an accessory not all of us wanted to adorn. They’ve have gone from being a little bit prissy and kind of silly to edgy and of the moment. The quickest way to take an outfit from weak to chic is to pop on a cool hat. The fedora has been seen on celebrities galore, from Justin Timberlake to Kate Moss. We’re even seeing a straw version of the fedora replace the common wide brim hat at the beach. You may not think you can pull off the look, but in the right situation, you’ll look great. For example, the zebra emi hat would look great at a luncheon. You’ll come across as confident, and a girl who’s willing to try new things. The summer fedora can be worn to the beach, or around town doing errands. The Eugenia Kim hat is perfect for walking around the city. The Miss Sixty beanie hat adds dimension and intrigue to anything from jeans and a tee to a full black skirt with heels. It’s a good idea to go try on some hats, and play for a bit before determining which look suits your style. When you find the right one, you’ll know and you will rock the look. Have fun!

      Center. I am a straight-up cloche girl. I have pink, black, brown, kelly green,

      I also wear the occasional straw cowboy hat because I live in Austin and it’s practical for the heat. I have some straw boaters, an Ascot-worthy black straw hat with a ginormous satin bow from summer study abroad, baseball caps, and ski hats. A faux-fur Russian-style hat that I lug anyplace the temp drops below 50.

      No berets or fedoras for me, alas. Not my style. Love that straw fedora and the Miss Sixty cap. Sigh.

      I love berets. In cool weather, I have a black cashmere one that just stays on my head all the time! They’re so cute with bangs.
