The Best Summer Hats


Hi Beach Pretty Friends,

When you love an outfit someone else is wearing, it is usually because of the accessories, right? As I sometimes do, I make a mental note about the look and try to recreate that look. So, Beach Pretty, is all about living a casual, chic and effortless lifestyle and I can’t think of a better accessory than adding a hat or a couple of hats to your summer wardrobe. By adding a stylish summer hat, it helps define your style and personality. So, let whatever vibe you're feeling when you get dressed in the morning and let it shine by complementing your look with a hat this summer. Bucket hats are fun and sassy, a fedora hat gives the sophisticated aloof vibe, an if you’re just feeling amazingly glamorous an oversized wide-brim hat will get the heads turning, for sure. An added benefit in wearing a hat, is that it will protect your face from the harmful rays of the sun and help keep you a little cooler. If you’re rocking a hat this summer and want to share it with me on Instagram, just hashtag your photo with #beachpretty, I would love to see and have a fun and enjoyable summer.

Until next time,

Beach Pretty
