The sun is officially out and I am here for it! Luckily, one of my favorite accessories this season doubles as protection from the harmful rays. Yes, I’m talking about hats!
If you haven’t yet come across a hat that you love, now is the time to find one. There are so many great styles trending right now.
Let’s go over some of the hat styles you’ll see everywhere this summer.
Fringe Straw Hats

The fringe on these straw hats is so flirty and cute! You can find floppy hats, sun hats, or the new Spring favorite, boater hats, with fringe. These hats have a very beachy vibe so they can either be worn with your favorite swimsuit or with a topical, resort style outfit.
Color Block Straw Hat
Kate Upton styles a black, white, and red color block hat.

Here’s another take on the traditional straw hat! The color block design adds some fun to the typical neutral straw color scheme. Some of the brighter colors are great for transitioning into summer. These hats can be worn with a variety of outfits so don’t be afraid to give them a try!
Felt Fedoras and Panama Hats

Everybody needs a felt panama or fedora hat in their closet. These hats enhance any outfit and they really go with just about anything.
Surprisingly, we are seeing these hats being worn during even hot times of year so don’t be afraid to keep yours out or keep shopping for new ones!
Visors

Visors are making a comeback in a big way! They are most commonly found in straw or vinyl.
Visors can be styled with swimsuits (like the Kardashians love to do), as part of festival style, or to spice up your everyday outfit. What’s so fun about visors is the variety of colors that they come in!
Berets
Olivia Culpo looks adorable in a little black beret.

Who says you can’t wear a beret outside of Europe? Berets are last on our list of hats to keep a lookout for this season but not because of lack of popularity. You can even find straw berets for the season, like the one above!
I want to hear from you!
