"All About That Hat"

by Laura Perkins


"Because you know I'm all about that hat, 'bout that hat..." Haha. I'm such a dork and have definitely had the song "All About That Bass" in my head. In all seriousness, I'm obsessed with hats for fall/winter. Not only do they keep your head toasty in this cold weather but they instantly update your look.  Plus they are my go-to for bad hair days. There are so many adorable hats out there right now. I scored this one from Anthropologie (for some reason it's only available in stores but there are a ton of cute ones online too!). I loved the flat brim and higher western structure of the top. Plus I've been wanting a navy hat ever since I spotted Bayleigh Bingham in my NYFW street style video for Loehmann's. When you're shopping for the perfect hat, make sure to try a bunch of different styles on. I've heard friends say to me that hats just don't look good on them. My response is "then you haven't found the right one yet." So don't give up. Your hat is out there...waiting for you! And to all my Florida friends - you can definitely rock a hat with a short sleeve blouse or skirt to give you that fall look without sweating bullets!

Styling tip: Since my hat has a bit of a western structure to it, I like to pair simple, feminine apparel (like this lace back sweater) with it so I don't look too country or masculine. And because the hat is pretty large, I think it looks best styled with a more fitted top vs. something baggy.
