The Big Floppy Hat: Go Big or Go Home

The Ex needed directions where to go. So you screamed it to him – in the middle of a crowded party 6 chards in.

*Shrug shoulders*

You’re one for making big, bold statements.  

Which is why this summer’s Big Floppy Hat trend will have you seeing red, in a good way.

Recently spotted on celebs from Vanessa Hudgens to Blake Lively, this retro-chic accessory has been all over the runways: Lanvin, Alberta Ferretti, Dior, Nina Ricci to Catherine Malandrino.

The perfect way to inject a little new into last year’s bohemian, the trick to the Floppy Hat is to make its addition look effortless. (Think: you just grabbed on your way out the door when really you’ve been planning it for weeks.) 

For a day look pair with a flowy tiered maxi skirt, oversized scoop neck tee (off one shoulder ‘by accident’) and add a crossbody bag with fringe details. For a pool side debut try in a straw color, add a tan, pair with a solid colored bandeau bikini and lots of layered pendants. 

It’s the size that counts.
