Hats Under $100

July 6, 2021 •

I really want to start wearing hats. I love them when I see them on others and so I’ve decided to step out of my comfort zone and incorporate them into my wardrobe. Here’s my first attempt. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions (where to buy great hats, a style you love), please share.

This boater hat is really wearable. I paired it with an asymmetrical dress and heels but I can also see wearing it with jeans and sneakers or a skirt and booties. This is style is a hat that can be worn year round.

This striped sun hat is so cute. The stripes are subtle but definitely add a bit of interest. Here I’m wearing it with jeans and a duster, but I can’t wait to mix prints and wear it with a floral dress and sandals. This hat will protect you from the sun, and keep you looking so stylish.

This open weave floppy sun hat is so much fun. This is truly a summer hat and I love it with a cute dress. It will also look great with flowy pants and a t shirt, a bathing suit on a beautiful beach or poolside, any summer outfit you can think of!

Ok, this hat is beyond anything I have ever worn. I felt like I was going to an elegant garden party in this outfit. Or maybe like a glamorous 50s starlette. I just felt so special wearing this hat. The extra wide brim is incredible. It absolutely will protect your face from the sun and you’ll look gorgeous while doing so!

A bow is always a pretty addition and the bow on the back of this hat makes a simple sun hat adorable. The hat also elevates my summer dress and I’m ready for a garden party, lunch with my friends, or walking along the beach.

Hats are a great way to dress up an outfit, keep the sun off your face, and even hide messy hair. ? You can wear a hat out to lunch with friends, to a dinner party, to the pool or beach, shopping, running errands, or just taking a walk. They transform any and every outfit and will make you feel so elegant and fun!

What’s your favorite style hat? How do you style it?

    I’ve become such a hat lover too. The large brim one is so glamorous…I’ll have to keep an eye out for one like that. I even love to pick them up at the thrift stores,

    As a Florida resident I wear hats often. They are not only practical for sun protection but fun to wear because they can set a tone for your mood. Enjoyed seeing all your selections.
