Cover up this season with a trend that’s sure to keep the harmful UV rays at bay while giving you a perfectly cool edge!
The hippie look of the seventies is hot this season with key pieces so irresistible, you’ll be hard-pressed not to be swayed by the all the laid-back cool looks. The latest must-have? Floppy hats. With their large brims, supple texture and multiple shades and fabrics, this summer, hats are destined for more than just your poolside excursions! Thanks to Hermès’ update on the seventies staple, this trend will have you channelling Carly Simon and Anita Pallenberg, two of the era’s most stylish muses. These hats look best paired with a lightweight summer dress or dressed-down with cut-off shorts and the season’s oversized tee. Slip on your gladiator sandals and accessorize with sunglasses to achieve that perfectly muse-worthy and oh-so-now sun-camouflaged look. Looking this effortlessly cool, you’ll have that carefree 70’s vibe down in no time!
