When the weather starts to get steamy, it’s important to have some type of coverage as a shield from the hot sun. In a previous post, I discussed the importance of a great pair of sunglasses to pull together an outfit, and the same could definitely be said about a great hat. Recently, I’ve learned to rely on hats not only on less than desirable hair days, but also as a stylish sun cover.
Fortunately for all hat aficionados out there, hats have made a huge comeback in recent years. Variations of the fedora and the bowler hat and even the cowboy hat have made their way back into style, making it easy to find a great style to suit your summer outfit. Below are some of my favourite hats for the summer, which will easily compliment a variety of different styles.

1. Free People Clipperton Fedora, $59.75
2. H&M Straw Hat, $14.95
3. Nubby Floppy Panama Hat, $32.00, available at Urban Outfitters
4. Deena & Ozzy Tropic Heat 5 Panel Hat, $24.00, available at Urban Outfitters
5. TOPSHOP Transitional Bowler Hat, $18.00
6. Miss Selfridges Tan Felt Floppy Hat, $28.00
