Hats: Perfect for Every Occasion

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UW Stout chapter.

Hats are a bold piece to rock.  The summer is the best time to wear them and they are the perfect fix for your summer style troubles.  Just rolled out of bed? Hat. Going to the beach? Hat. Running around with the nanny kids? Hat. You get the point, here’s several different hat styles and when they are being worn appropriately.

#1 Panama 

If you’re feeling like Indiana Jones, the panama hat is a good and functional look. You look like a million bucks and get the sun out of your eyes. A smaller brimmed panama looks great with shorts and a tank top for a night at the ball field.

#2 Fedora

The fedora is a classy yet simple look. Pair it with a cute striped sundress, berry colored lipstick, a side braid and some wedges and you’re ready to rock a night on the town with your girls. 

#3 Baseball

My favorite; the baseball hat. It is the most functional and practical of all hats. You can find them anywhere and they come in all different styles. There is a huge range of styles. Between cute designs from boutique stores or your favorite Wisconsin Badgers apparel. A baseball hat can be worn at any time and it’s more than likely appropriate. It’s a quick and easy way to keep your hair out of your face and look totes adorbs.

#4 Sunhat

Defs a beach look. Sunhats are so fun to wear. They say “I’m just trying to have a lazy day but I’m still super hot.” Sunhats look great with your favorite bikini top and a pair of shorts or a swimsuit cover up.

#5 Bucket

You might pull up in your bucket but, ScHoolboy Q isn’t the only one that can work the bucket hat. They are so in right now and come in tons of different patterns, colors and styles. Flowers and solids and geometrics, oh my! Bucket hats add a little bit of personality to your look and would look so killer with a fanny pack to match.  Talk about a #TBT.

#6 Cowboy

As you saddle up your horse and ride into the city be sure to make a lot of noise because the girls in the cowboy hats are so pretty. Not only are cowboy hats appropriate at a Big & Rich concert, they are totally acceptable to wear to a bonfire or an outing with friends. You just have to find the right one that will go with a pair of jean shorts and a cute top and maybe some old cowboy boots and just call you Carrie Underwood.

Hats are so much fun to mix and match with outfits and they are the perfect accessory for the summer. Whether you choose the edgy bucket hat, classic fedora, or the sassy sunhat you are good to go in any occasion. Be bold, collegiettes!
