The high 80’s and low 90’s mark the beginning of UCLA’s spring quarter, accompanied by trips to read by the pool and scorching walks around town. A little personal shade seems more than appropriate, meaning there’s one accessory no Fashionista should go without this season. Add a wide-brimmed hat to your collection, and you’ll find yourself literally cooler throughout the season! This Fashionista nails the practical trend by pairing it with well-structured proportions and a pop of color.
Wide-brimmed hats have always stood for a sense of mysterious glamour, perfect for stylish beauties lounging by the pool. Invest in one great hat, and it will absolutely remain relevant and wearable for years to come! This Fashionista’s floppy wool hat has black fabric and a wide brim, but is still relatively thin and doesn’t come too far down on her forehead. This means that while it would have looked cute with jeans and boots in the winter, the hat won’t be overwhelmingly warm as a spring accessory. Take her cue and select a hat in a dark tone like maroon, navy or black without showy patterns or details. The more this hat matches, the more occasions and seasons it will serve!
Coordinating her hat with a breezy black skort creates a great link in the Fashionista’s outfit, both in texture and color. While her personalized bag oozes structure and sophistication, its solid color also contributes to her outfit’s base. Birkenstocks add extra on-trend points in the footwear department!
The Fashionista’s green cropped tank top hits at a perfect spot alongside her high-waisted skort. This proportional pairing adds a jewel toned pop of spring perfection. Subtle jewelry also adds extra timelessness to her look. A simply strung necklace and vintage ring highlight the look’s femininity, while a silver nose ring provides some edge. These dainty accessories are great inspiration for everyday investments!
How To: Want to make your floppy hat an everyday staple? Keep your outfit simple and easy by pairing the accessory with plain linen pants and a solid cropped tank. Who could ask for a more glamorous day off look?
