ALL IN THE DETAILS: Hat Attack

No one loves a good floppy hat more than the style queen herself, Rachel Zoe.  Who can blame her? The floppy hat is great for face framing because of its fluid brim and can be a savior on a not-so-good hair day. Additionally, the floppy hat is perfect for protecting your skin from harsh sun rays.

This Fashionista channeled her inner Zoe in a black felt floppy hat. The wide brim of her hat sits at a great angle that allows her face to not be overwhelmed by the oversized shape of the hat. Keeping the rest of her look casual, this Fashionista went with a printed dress in a bold red color. Her fringed black purse and tortoise shell watch complement the black accents found in her both her hat and dress. Wrapping up the whole look, our Fashionista went with gold sandals and a gold arm bangle for the perfect Sunday stroll ensemble.

One key trick to mastering the floppy hat is to make sure that it’s the perfect fit. You do not want it dropping so low that it is obstructing your vision.
