How to Wear Derby-Style Hats For Men & Women
What Are We Wearing?
A beautiful hat makes a gorgeous statement, and it isn't just for the ladies. Men and woman alike are taking their looks up several notches for the Kentucky Derby and King Charles’ Coronation this weekend! The festive events give us every excuse to invest in a stunning fascinator, but you can also add more toned-down styles to your everyday looks this Spring. Don't miss my segment on NBC's The Hub, talking everything style and hats!
The guys can have fun pairing a great hat with a bowtie and a jacket or pocket square. I love a Panama-style hat by Salmagundi with menswear because it looks nautical and summery but dapper at the same time. These hats is also ventilated and lightweight making them a very comfortable option during warm months, especially if you're going to be in the sun for a few hours at a time.
Opt for a short, daytime-appropriate dress or wide-leg linen pants with a Straw Panama or Cloche style hat from Salmagundi for a less formal look. These hats can be worn to the beach or any day event. They are comfortable, lightweight, and stylish, giving your look a little flair and a bonus for sun protection.
A one-of-a-kind Fascinator by Marie Galvin is nothing short of royal. These pieces are extraordinary and worth the investment if you are looking for a reason to wear an extravagant hat for a Summer event. Style a statement hat with a knee-length dress or gown for a black tie affair or daytime wedding. When formal attire is required, a fabulous Fascinator is a must. And in this case, size matters. The bigger, the better; have fun, and don't be afraid to take a risk with the opulent designs and bold colors.
