I don't know about you but for me, the first sign of straw hats in shops always heralds the beginning of the warmer months. Summer is sitting under the shade of a wide brimmed hat at the beach or relaxing with friends in a beer garden and festivals are always spent under a straw fedora. Growing up in Australia, hats were a necessity to keep the sun of my ghost white and easily burned skin (not cool!) As much as I love hats however I have to admit my sister's always looked better in them and I've often shied away from them because I think they don't suit me. But this summer I'm making a concerted effort to re-style my headwear and make hats a key part of my outfits. With that in mind, here's some of my favourites so far this season...
1. Bright and bold, the very essence of a summer hat from
Anthropologie (£38).
2. Add a feather to your cap, literally, with this jaunty piece from
Harvey Nichols (£40).
3. Love the cute bow on this bargain buy from
H&M. Perfect for messing around in on summer hols. (£4.99)
4. Love love love this quirky piece from Anna Sui from
Net-a-Porter. Think I’ll have to pass this up
to someone much more stylish (and adventurous) though (£380).
5. Now, this hat has a real winter look about it but I couldn’t resist including it because of the Indiana Jones vibe it’s got going on. Too cool! From
Topshop (£25)
Which is your favourite? What do you think of hats? Are they an accessory or pure necessity?

I love straw hats!! My favourite is the wide brim beauty at #1 - the colour is gorgeous! I've always loved rocking a hat, especially sat in a beer garden. I had a straw cowboy hat that I loved that sadly got squashed when I tried to shove it in my suitcase on holiday. I still mourn that hat. Sigh. ;) Cute post xxx
ReplyDeleteOoh, my first comment :-) Thanks hun! I love straw hats and had to leave a favourite of mine in Oz cause of suitcase space shortage! Just wish it was more appropriate weather for wearing them at the moment....Bring on Spring and hat weather I say! xxx
