How to Pick the Right Style Hat for Spring

How to Pick the Right Style Hat for Spring



The right hat can bring vigor to a wardrobe, celebrate the first spring greening and generally lift one's spirits. However, you'll want a hat that isn't just colorful, but that also fits your style, your face and the spring weather in your area. This takes just a little thought, and then you can become one of the best dressed in your neighborhood.







Pick a Style That Suits You




Step
1



Look at the hats on display in the shops in which you buy most of your clothing. This way, you can easily find the colors and detailing that will coordinate well with what you already own.




Step
2



Accent casual wardrobes with hats of straw and cotton. If you tend to dress more formally, then look for light wool caps, berets and wide-brimmed straw hats that won't look out of place with your elegant dresses and suits.




Step
3



Pick the style that will keep up with your daily activities. If you run from tennis to
daycare
to charity meetings, an elegant, wide-brimmed hat, trimmed with feathers, is not the right style for you. A hat can be eye catching, but if it won't work with most of your outfits and activities, the right choice is to leave it in the store window.


Choose a Care-Free Fabric




Step
1



Pick a hat in a fabric that won't wilt or become irreparably damaged by a sudden spring shower. Leave costly silk hats, with velvet embellishments, for summer evenings when you know the hats will be safe from wind and water.




Step
2



Select one of the hats made for travelers, in fabrics and styles designed to be rolled up into luggage and pockets, coming unrolled to look fresh and crease free. Even if you aren't traveling, you'll have a rugged hat about which you won't need to worry.




Step
3



Buy a waterproof hat in a spring color, such as pink, mint green or daffodil yellow. This way, you are covered in sun, in wind and during the occasional spring shower. You'll probably enjoy outdoor events more if you know your outfit can stand up to whatever the sky chooses to do.







Tips & Warnings









Any hat can look wonderful in a store, as you are likely to be looking only at your face and the hat, in conditions devoid of wind, rain or other issues. When a hat catches your eye, consider where you will wear it, how often, and whether it complements your wardrobe.
