Fashionista NOW: Stylish Wide Brim Hats Fashion Inspiration

Don’t appreciate the sun weighing down on you? Why not top off your look with a stylish wide brim hat.

The heat wave calls for a practical approach to getting dolled up. And by ‘practical’ we don’t mean that you’ll abandon all sense of style.

Wide brimmed hats have become the trendy head accessory to own this season. It is a yearly must-have for as long as the sun keeps doing its thing.

Not only are these hats coveted by celebs going in incognito, street fashionistas have come to view the wide brimmed chapeau as heaven-sent when it comes to dressing up for unpredictable weather and cloaking unruly mane.

The wide brim hat isn’t just a pretty accessory devoid of substance. It helps to shade your face and protect your eyes from getting bombarded by blinding sun rays and with the right outfit, you will have to admit that you can look many times better.

A hat rendered in a bold color can enhance the mood of a neutral outfit. A neutral colored hat in black or brown will blend in with just about any outfit.

While the wide brim hat is seen worn here as part of a beach wear accessory, it’d be nice to see the stylish toppers worn for more casually.

And if you think that wearing wide brim hats isn’t all that appealing, you’re not alone. No one just decides to don a hat without a reason. The weather often dictates this choice. And if you’re where the sun is high and unrelenting, perhaps the hat is what you truly need.

“A hat is a shameless flatterer, calling attention to an escaping curl, a tawny braid, a sprinkling of freckles over a pert nose, directing the eye to what is most unique about a face. Its curves emphasize a shining pair of eyes, a lofty forehead; its deep brim accentuates the pale tint of a cheek, creates an aura of prettiness, suggests a mystery that awakens curiosity in the onlooker.”
