With long summer days ahead, I find myself in search of a new hat (or two) to add to my wardrobe. I don't actually own many, but I definitely try to protect my skin anytime I'm planning to be outdoors. There are so many good options out right now from bucket hats to cotton baseball caps to classic straw fedoras. I always look for a mix of minimal colors with something unique. I'm going to be mixing in hats with my favorite swimsuits [1], easy summer dresses [2], and T-shirts and tailored shorts [3]. Here are the biggest trends to choose from this season.
