Coco Chanel Was Once Just A Hat Designer...


UV Rays, long beach days... All require a floppy hat. A big hat to hide under white the sun pounds down is not only great protection, but can be very stylish. Besides, who wants to be caught with salt water hair after  a day by the waves?! Hats are all over the runways, magazines and streets this season! So this proves that they aren't just pool-side accescories. Slouch hats, Panamas, and Wide-Brimmed Derby hats are very style-concious choices. Some of the more popular ones this summer are actually menswear-inspired. Though a lot of them are more on the femminine side, a lot have tougher, masculine characteristics. So whether you're playing it soft and sweet, or raw and edgy, grab a hat! (Not only will your skin be thankful for the protection, but you'll look effortlessly chic!)*
