Hats off to Summer!

Hannah E. — Tue, 19 May 2009 14:00:58 GMT

With summer officially in full swing, we’d like to dedicate a little something to the classic summertime accessory, the hat. With an influx of pool parties, backyard BBQs, outdoor music festivals and road trips you’re bound to partake in this season, the trusty hat is a no-fuss, fool-proof accessory that makes even the worst of bed heads seem cool!

For a totally beach-worthy look, go for a cool straw fedora like the Malibu by Goorin Brothersor the Castor by Brixton. It's the easiest way to add on a relaxed but cool touch to the most basic tee and shorts ensemble...throw on a pair of flip flops, and out the door you go!

Fellas, you can even revisit the good old trucker hat, a-la Ashton Kutcher. We especially love the fun novelty patch trucker cap by Goorin. Who says you can't have a sense of humor with your style? You may even score more "followers" than Ashton's infamous Twitter page! You never know...

For you beach and pool goddesses out there, add some seriously retro drama to your swimwear with a big floppy hat. Nothing says glam bronze diva quite like this classic summertime staple. Not only will you look infinitely cooler sipping that cocktail by the pool, you'll also be protecting your face from harmful rays. Try the fabulous Eden or the tropical Bahama Mama by Goorin Brothers.

So remember, hit the summer scene in style with a cool summer hat and you'll be coastin' through looking fabulous and ready for all the festivities this fun-in-the sun season has to offer!
