Take on a romantic look with a Venice gondola style boater hat. Pair with a casual button-up shirt and boyfriend jeans for an ensemble fit for life on the water.
Wide-Brimmed Fedora
The new fedora gets an upgrade this season with a wider brim for a western feel. Go with a deep v-neck blouse or a shapeless summer dress for a dreamy, free-spirited vibe.
Next-Level Caps
Ball caps get a sassy spin with appliqués and non-traditional materials like faux leather and denim. Keep it simple and sporty in distressed denim cut-offs and killer kicks.
Short Floppy
Bring out the sun hat! This classic hat goes great with a super short shift dress and leather wedge sandals. Keep the 70s trend strong by pairing it with high-waisted, wide-leg jeans.
Bucket
In this hat, you can’t help but feel like life is a day at the beach. Have fun with a print, and keep the rest of your outfit casual with simple separates and sandals.
