5 Hats To Take Summer Head-On

Words by Ms Emma Pradella

Contrary to a lot of accessories, hats come with purpose. For one, depending on which style you’re going for, they protect you from unwanted sun rays. For another, they’re the most stylish hack for bad hair days. Call them the summer saviours, if you will, but never underestimate their ability to add a little flamboyance and character even to the dullest of outfits. Whether you’re a straw, bucket hat or cap kind of guy, here are five fresh styles you need to dive into summer – headfirst.

01. The fisherman-style LOEWE hat

We can’t think of anything better than laying on a beach lounger in a far-flung beach destination. And wearing, naturally, nothing but swim shorts and LOEWE’s bucket hat – a contemporary, elegantly monogrammed twist on classic fisherman’s style. Can you?

02. The collegiate Drake’s cap

Albeit known as “a purveyor of classic British elegance”, Savile Row fixture Drake’s takes its fair share of inspiration from classic collegiate style, as this cap demonstrates. The finely ribbed cotton-corduroy has an extra soft handle that’ll make for an unexpected cure-all in the summer heat.

03. The classic Loro Piana straw

If you’re yet to master Panamas and fedoras, Loro Piana’s toned-down straw hat is a great place to start. Refined and understated, it works just as well with a striped shirt (match the webbing trim to the rest of the fit) as it will with relaxed tailoring.

04. The easy A.P.C. cap

The Texan tuxedo – aka double denim – has seen a resurgence as of late. So why not go for a triple threat and throw A.P.C.’s denim cap into the mix? The dark wash will pair nicely with other shades of blue and most neutrals, so you won’t have to worry too much about colour coordination.

05. The Burberry reversible bucket hat

Burberry’s bucket hat is guaranteed to work double time in your sartorial repertoire. It’s designed to be reversible, so you can choose the checks for the day, and opt for the holographic, lustrous side come evening.
