Style Panel: Hats tricks for keeping your head fashionably covered all summer long

Growing up, I was always told that I was a hat person, but I have never really taken that compliment and run with it. Hats are a ton of fun, but pulling them off organically and with an effortless charm can be a bit daunting. In summer, it’s easy to default to a purely beach look when it comes to accessorizing with hats, but I wanted to try a take on something a little more day-to-day for regular wear. I enjoy summer fedoras, sun hats, and panama hats just as much as the next girl, and I wore them out on my trip to Europe this spring.

That said, I decided that I have been hoarding this bowler hat in my closet for way too long now, trying to find the best way to integrate it into my regular wear without looking like I was in a costume. I grabbed it as a top off for a somewhat stand-alone sequin tank top, and tucked half my hair away so I wouldn’t feel overwhelmed by it. I can see myself pairing this guy with a simple sundress for a farmer’s market outing this summer, and throwing it on with a crisp button-up blouse as the weather cools down.
