The New Standard For Chic Summer Hats

You’ve probably owned a black, brown or navy wool fedora for so long it’s a certified mainstay in your off-duty outfit. Perhaps you’ve also purchased a straw hat that serves as a more beach-friendly iteration of your beloved boho topper. But how can you continue to elevate your hat game for the summer and beyond? Enter a crop of multicolored felt chapeaus that feel appropriately summery (on account of their bright hues) in distinctly chic silhouettes that maintain a model-off-duty vibe. Spotted most recently on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the trend proves versatile across a range of seasons and outfits, and makes a case for injecting a dose of pretty pastels or rich jewel tones into your look. Smart, sleek and rendered in fun colors? We’re sold.
