Today’s goal: Successfully style a summer hat. Simple enough – unless you have the wrong hat. Certainly we all want the paparazzi (errr… your sig other, friend, neighbor, co-worker…) to notice us as the “it girl” of summer. With the summer in full swing, time to step up your style with THE most eye-catching accessory around – a hat. A summer hat!
Wearing a hat is kinda like having a puppy – everyone wants to stop and talk about it. Right? So, when I spied with my little eye this (perfect) summer hat at Soft Surroundings, my brain confidently said, “This.is.the.perfect.hat.” Get the hair up, sunnies set and hat on. I am always drawn to the beach (as you may know if you follow me on Instagram HERE), so this hat is ideal for some sun-shielding with a dash of chill, chic fun! While keeping my beach attire simple, this summer hat is the perfect accent. Kinda says, “Less Monday, More Summer” – don’t you agree? Pretty much love at first sight when I saw this hat!
How-to a Hat
- Go Classic (or go home…) – Like a straw, cowboy, fedora…
- K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Silly) – While wearing a hat, keep the rest of the look simple/neutral/calm.
- No Brainer – Confidently wear any classic hat with your bathing suit.
- Tee Time – Add sophistocation to a graphic tee with a classic hat.
- Anything BUT Boring – Wearing jeans & a basic v-neck? Throw on a classic hat to up the chic factor!
- Date Night Done Right – Maxi dress, denim jacket and classic hat. Boom.

Can’t beat a classic cowboy style straw hat in summer. Works with jeans, summer dresses or daisy dukes. Versatile is the name of game for me!
That’s right! It’s awesome and I love your outfit ideas! Versatility is a huge factor for sure! Thanks for the visit!
I need to wear a hat, I’m such a target for a sunburn. This one is adorable on you!

I love hats as you can probably tell and they can really elevate any outfit. I love floppy hats although mine always like to fly away in the wind. I really like your straw hat its super cute x
I agree, it does wonders to our outfits! I think floppy hats are the best but you have to be extra careful! I’m totally in love with this hat! Thanks for the visit, hun!
You are so beautiful! I love your hat, I’m a big fan of summer outfits. So sad, it’s not summer here anymore. (Philippines)
I’m sure you can still get away with wearing it! I’ve heard that the weather is mostly sunny there! Thanks for dropping by!
I don’t usually suit hats but this is the sort of thing I’d love for a summer holiday. Looks great on you x
Thank you so much! It’s an awesome hat! Have a fab day!
You really can’t underestimate the importance of a good summer hat. It’s not only great for the beach, but super chic for almost any summer activity. I have a straw fedora I bought a couple of years ago and I just love it.
That is SO true! I could not agree more! I think straw hats are awesome! Thanks for the visit!
Love those cowboy hats! I don’t have one yet but I’ve always wanted to get one!

I love the hat! It is gorgeous, and one I could actually see myself pulling off! Perfect for a day at the beach! Which is perfect because next week we are moving about 9 minutes away from the beach in our new city!
