Weddings, races, partying alfresco. 'Tis the season of the hat, and whilst I have come to terms with the fact that my head was not born to be regularly adorned, I occasionally dabble. I don't like anything too formal and stuffy, and straw, given the right splash of colour or detail, can be dressed up to look sensational and smart.
Much like jewellery, beds and a man's vocabulary I think the bigger, the better. Who could forget Kate Winslet in her first scene in Titanic as she stepped out of her car to reveal a punch of violet millinery? That hat far overshadowed the ship, I thought. There are a few alternatives below, however, if anyone's feeling a little shy.
Stunning, black and VAST with a beautiful posy on the side.
Simply classic.
A boater looks modern and feminine if worn with a fresh, white dress and windswept hair.
An investment in a wonderful, mouthwatering raspberry hue.
A re-work on the timeless trilby.
Emerald. Amazing.
For when black is best. Falls beautifully over one eye.
For a look that's a little cute. A straw pillbox decked with feathers. Team with loose, flaxen waves.
Contrasting crowns and brims make one fabulous hat.
Simple. Bold. Effective.
Scared of hats? This headband is a heavenly alternative.
Black and amber - will look wonderful with white.
