Whether it is hot or cold, rain or shine, a hat is always a good idea. I’m not talking about baseball caps or bucket hats that you see everyone and their baby wearing. I’m talking about the trendy, chic, fedora-like hats that women have been rocking for years. Although they have been around forever, they have become much trendier as of recently. Maybe it is the sophistication of my generation finally emerging, branching out and trying new things; maybe it has been the increasing amount of hats in Free People and Urban Outfitters catalogs, or maybe it has always been around and we didn’t realize how chic they were until now. Regardless of all these maybes, every girl needs a simple black hat to add to her wardrobe.
This Fashionista rocks the essential black hat. She pairs it with a monochromatic striped dress and black woven sandals. She accessorizes with a tan Rebecca Minkoff cross-body, silver statement necklace and some silver rings. Because she is wearing all neutrals, the black hat is complementary to the rest of the look. Silver accessories work well with the gray undertones as well. This Fashionista is a great example of how to pull off a black hat.
How To: Black hats can go with many outfits and occasions. Because of this, you have a wide variety of ways to wear them. An easy way to make sure it flows with the rest of the outfit is wear another monochromatic color like gray, white or black. If you are feeling bolder with your look, try pairing it with a more colorful outfit.
