Summer barbecues are a novelty of the season. Hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill glistening over conversation with family and friends is many summer-lovers' favorite part of the warm and relaxing season. And since you’ll be seeing so many familiar faces, it’s important for any Fashionista/o to look his/her best. One of my favorite summer accessories is a cool hat that shields you from the sun while making a bold statement. I’ve heard many Fashionistas claim they can’t “pull a hat off,” but there really is a hat out there for everyone. Christian Dior and Chanel both have stunning hat styles in their collections that are perfect for any trendsetter.
This Fashioista is "pulling off" a fedora hat, a trend that has made a comeback since it was popular from the early 1920s to the mid 1960s. Her outfit is perfect for a summer barbecue: The spaghetti strap top is girly, comfortable and will keep her cool during the day while her ankle-length Capri pants will keep her prepared in case the barbecue lasts a little later than expected. It's easy to rock a hat but if you are still a little timid, pair the hat with a simple outfit like this Fashionista did so you don't overdo it.
Hint: For the next summer barbecue, try a new look with a light, straw fedora like this one from Urban Outfitters and an off the shoulder top from MANGO.
