To me, summer means driving with the convertible top down, or at least all of the car windows down and the sun-roof open! Which means, then, that you’ll have wind-whipped, crazy hair… unless you put it under one of these pretty summer hats!

Does any fabric say “summer: more profoundly than madras? The light weight, the gorgeous colors, and cool plaid. I love it! This hat is no exception, adding a glimmer of gold thread throughout, and a floppy, comfortable shape.

A straw hat embellished with a pretty rosette, a delicate floral sundress, simple ballet flats, and an eager suitor asking for a glass of lemonade on the porch. But why not get a little closer, and suggest a rustic ramble? And be sure to wear this hat, in particular.

Tuck your hair into this cap and forget the fly-aways and static, or simply a summer humidity bad-hair day. You’ll look stylish and winsome and feminine all at once. I love the neutral khaki color and the creamy scattering of sweet polka dots. Pair with absolutely anything in your closet, but wouldn’t this look especially lovely with a casual shirt-dress and sandals?

I can’t decide if this hat is all urban chic or entirely feminine and pretty… I suppose it could be both! I’d wear it with red shorts and a crisp white top, or a navy skirt and heels. Either way, choose something to compliment or contrast with its navy and white stripes and perky flower detail!

If you’re looking for a sunhat of generous, sun-stopping proportions, this is the hat for you! Wear it to the beach, in the garden, to the sea-side café. Choose from coral or bright blue, and pair with anything linen, lightweight, and summery!

Have you ever seen a hat that proclaims summer more proudly, or with as much style? I’d wear this with any of my dresses or shorts, as long as it’s in earth-tones or denim. I love the ribbon and of course, the bright yellow helianthus…

Maybe you have a thing for 1920’s vintage style, or just a thing for pretty feminine hats. Either, or both, this hat is for you, with its head-hugging shape and the pretty flower details. Wear this with something menswear-inspired for extra attention, or with a soft dress for a night out…

My great-grandmother planted pansies all the way up her front walk every summer, and this hat would have been her favorite, I’m sure. I love the classic Fedora shape, updated with a black ribbon and colorful posey of vivid, friendly pansies.
