Sunglasses aren’t the only way to shade your eyes, fellas. A hat will not only keep you cool and shield you from the sun’s rays, but hats are also stylish accessories that will instantly elevate your look. Here’s which hats will take your summer style up to the brim.
Straw
Straw hats aren’t just for farmers. These days, trendy straw hats are a staple of contemporary festival fashion and are the perfect summer accessory. Choose a straw trilby hat (which has a narrow brim and indented crown), or a hip Panama hat. With a pair of cool sunglasses, you’ll look summery and sexy.
Classic Fedora
Hip and vintage, the classic fedora also works great for summertime. Choose a light-colored (like gray or pastel blue) one and wear with a pair of chino shorts and a buttoned short-sleeve shirt for a fresh and hipster-y look.
Baseball Cap
Relaxed, athletic, masculine, and timeless. Need we say more? Represent your favorite sports team or choose a neutral golf cap for a cleaner look. Baseball caps pair well with denim shorts and a crisp tee, but you can wear yours with virtually any casual daytime outfit (backwards or forewards!).
Snapbacks
Snapbacks are super trendy this summer. From tropical print to geometric patterns to branded snapbacks and the 5-panel outdoorsy styles (whose seams form 5, square “panels” on the crown), these trucker hats are versatile and laidback and are the perfect hat for an outdoor barbecue with friends, a trip to the beach, or a hike in the mountains.
Try any of these summertime toppers, and you’ll be ready to greet the sunshine in style.
