summer essentials: HATS

Next up on my list of must-have for summer: the perfect hat! 

My brother always tells me that I'm not a hat person, but I refuse to believe him. Mostly because I'm constantly looking for the perfect hat. 

Hats not only protect you from the sun, but also from the disaster of a bad hair day. 

So, continuing in my never-ending search I have found the cutest possible hats I could find that I believe look good on almost anybody. 

These are a few of my favorite hat styles for the summer: 

{Panama}

A wide-brimmed fedora, this hat dresses up any casual summer outfit.

{Floppy}

Always a southern staple. Perfect for the beach or a low country boil!

{Headband/Headwrap}

I know this technically isn't a hat but whatever. It still goes on your head, right?

Of  course if you're like me, you'll usually go for the ol' baseball cap to cover up the mane. 

Which hat will you be rocking this summer?

Thanks for checkin' out this post! Stay on the lookout for the next item on the essentials list coming later on this week. 

Love ya'll.
