Hats. The accessory for everyone, especially in summer. There is usually at least one style of hat that someone fancies regardless of their taste and everyone always has some stashed away in their closet. A few of my favorites include my beloved (oldie but goody) NASH cap from Emerson Grace purchased many moons ago. But, then, there’s my…(rather large) collection of the most oversized, most uncrushable styles, and most impractical ones. All worn back home from far-away spots with multiple travel legs (yes, several “spottings” of me wearing hugely brimmed straw hats on flights home in the middle of winter have occurred- and quite a few times).
On that note, to get you in the mood to wear hats this season (no dangerous sunspots here, please!), read below for a roundup of some current faves. Keeping in mind fashion and function, along with a few suggestions for where to don them, even if it is still in your own backyard.
THE STRAW HAT
Perfect for gardening, the beach, the market, the pool scene, the boat scene, the “any” scene. Crushable and packable add extra levels of want.

THE DRESS-UP HAT
Perfect for race days (Steeplechase 2021!), luncheons, English weddings, and, well, anytime a fancy chapeau is required. While some are recommended for “standing-only,” others may be for perfect weather- no rain and no wind included here! But oh-so-stylish and fun. They can be large-brimmed, fascinators and those beautifully impractical “Just have to have it” styles.
