Accessories Trends // Hat-tastic! How To Pick The Perfect Beach Hat

When we think of summer, we think of sun, beach, and sand, in one word: Fun! One of the best seasons to dress up, where dresses, shorts, sandals and the most important item of the season, hats come into play.

This perfect accessory is one of the must have of the season, which will offer you protection from the sun and at the same time will give you a fabulous way to step up your summer look. The hats are the most fashionable item to wear not just at the beach, but also everywhere else as well.

In a season when the sun rays are stronger and you are more likely to expose your body, your skin can possibly be affected by the UV rays, causing damage and blemishes. More than an accessory that will give you a chic style and improve your look, a hat will help you take care of your skin while you are enjoying of the summertime under the sun. This hat trend brings us, like every trend, the possibility to choose what’s the best style for you. For a fun and chic look there are thousands of options in wide brim hats, the 70s floppy style has come to make you and your bathing suit shine on the beach. However, if you are looking for a classy outlook, a more classic narrow brim hat will go perfectly with all your summer looks and a good pair of high heels.

The summer comes with the sun and the sun with the heat, which is why it is also important to know the material or fabric while choosing the perfect hat. Straw or cotton are the most popular materials for this hot season, any of these, that you pick, will make you feel fresh under the shinny summer sun.

For this season, the hats came back with a retro 70s style, so the supplements that will match perfectly with them are oversized sunglasses, flowery summer dresses or high-waist shorts and obviously bathing suits and cover-ups. They come in every color but if you want to give them more personality, add a ribbon or a scarf surrounding it, which could be a nice touch of your own style in your outlook.

Finding your perfect hat will not be too hard, since you can find fabulous things in stores like Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue or Kate Spate, but as always you don’t have to spend much to look gorgeous in a hat, so go to Gap, Topshop or American Eagle for an alternative price point. There’s always one for everyone, find it and make your summer look hat-tastic.
