Hats off to you!
In case you've been living under a rock (which is fine, I don't judge), this week is the Kentucky Derby. With the Kentucky Derby comes the time honored tradition of AMAZING hats. You may be wondering "It's a hat, how amazing can it be?" And the answer to that is more amazing than you can even KNOW. Some go all out with their hats and make it a spectacle for all to see while others make sure it's subtle and understated. No matter your taste, now's the time to try out that hat you bought and never wore because you "can't pull off hats." If you don't know where to start, here are a few inspo hats to get you pumped for the race.
Flirty, fun, and floppy
We'll start off with the always popular floppy sun hat. You can't go wrong with this staple piece. PLUS when the race is over, Summer is still on the horizon so you can use the hat for beach days, brunch, barbecues, and garden parties.
If floppy is your style, why not try this Vero Moda Wide Brim Straw Hat from ASOS.
Fascinate the crowd
You don't always have to go ALL out in the hat department. If you really feel that hats just aren't your jam, let me introduce you to the fascinator. The fascinator is the perfect mix of subtle and extra we all look for in our lives. Just take a look at the girl below, isn't she lovely? Anyways, fascinators are always a great talking point and a hit at parties so no matter where you wear it... you'll stand out.
If the fascinator seems to be your go-to, why not check out the Sweet Spread Fascinator or the Sassy Statement Fascinator from Modcloth.
It's okay to pull the short straw
Spring is finally here so you can bet you're going to sweat at the racetrack (or at your own home if you don't actually get to make it down to Kentucky). Straw hats are a great way to beat the heat and still look cute. Plus they're absolutely a classic and will last for years to come (so long as you don't leave them somewhere they can get stepped on or torn apart by a pet).
If you don't want to be perfectly polished, try this natural brimmed straw hat from Nasty Gal.
