My grandmother often reminisces about the days when each season you bought a new outfit complete with a fabulous bag, shoes and, of course, hat. We’re jealous. Except, of course, if we’re attending a horse race in which case we would get to buy a new hat too. But how often are you really going to a horse race?

A hat is totally acceptable on a boat, of course, but it’s usually a touch too windy.

So, we feel like the beach is one of the only places we can really rock an oversized brim.

Of course, there is something timeless about a hat that’s a little smaller too…
(Side note, I am getting Will a puppy immediately if not sooner after seeing this.)

We’re off for a family week at the beach where we’ll be wearing hats 24/7. We hope your weekend is wonderful!

I love a big floppy hat! Something so glamorous about that.

I love hats so much and wish that more people wore them too, so that I didn’t feel so self-conscious when I had one on during the day! LOL! Have a great week!!!! Enjoy! xx, Pip

I love hats but they dont’ love me, I don’t like the way I look in them (except a baseball cap on the soccer fields)! But they are so pretty and stylish.
When I went to the Kentucky Derby I promised myself I would wear more hats. I only have one, but it’s really cute..think I might wear it this very day!
Aw – such cute photos! I love big floppy hats at the beach π

hats remind me of a more glamorous time definitely!
I pick up a large floppy hat for the beach every time I go on holidays. I now have a little collection of them. Each reminds me of a summer holiday… Greece, Hamilton Island, the Caribbean…

Hats are so romantic! These fashion statements are lost icons along with white gloves! Try and find one, they are hidden in the back of our shops! Thank you for sharing so many gracious hats. They are lovely!

Now that was just a stinking cute post! The little boy sitting on the dock is adorable.
I love hats! In fact I’m going on vacation next month and was just thinking how I’ll probably pack multiple even though it will be a pain to carry them on the plane. π
Thanks so much for stopping by our blog. We are following you via GFC! Happy Friday!

I am sad that hats come and go in style. I think they look so classy and chic.

to look good in a hat, i think i would have to have one custom made or maybe shop the kids section because my noggin is a little one!
beautiful images.

What gorgeous inspiration here! I love the anchors on that straw hat and all of the big floppy ones. I’m with you, I wish hats were worn more often, they are terribly chic!
love all the hats, but especially the beach one π

Ahh hats so glamorous and yet sometimes can go oh so wrong. These you have featured are perfect! Wish I could do hats!

Having recently had some spots burned off my face I’m now a huge fan of the hat, especially during the summer. Fun post.
Happy Friday.

Love hats and I’m old enough to remember having to wear one to church on Sunday .. a long time ago!
I like the soft hats, they are so comfy!

Hi there!,
Doesn’t every woman look better in a wide brim hat? Too bad we rarely wear them! Have a great get-away!
Cheers!,
Barbara
I adore hats, whether elegant for an event or casual for poolside!

I think over sized hats (or hats of any size for that matter…fascinators, anyone?) are acceptable just about any time, any where. Accept maybe on a crowded metro. You might get some death stares.
Love the images!! I use to enjoy wearing hats. The older I have gotten the less I wear them, they just don’t look as good. Oh the joys of youth!!lol
I love hats and must go buy a floppy one for the beach asap!! Love these pics!

My kind of post!! Love hats ((: and I really want the very first image you posted…that sheer hat is just brilliant…well, our cowboy season just starting …I got a few new hats for that(:

Agree! they really finish off an outfit even if its just a floppy straw hat with Summer dress.

I love this post! My friends and I attend the races several times each year and it’s all about the hats! But sometimes I wish I could post a sign on the gate that said “Ladies, a skimpy nightclub dress and a feather in your hair is not races attire”. Standards please!
Hat fanatic am I!!! Love it!!!

I adore a big floppy hat on the beach, and am loving that hats are having a moment right now! How much fun would hats be at a wedding!

My beach hat’s so big it is practically an umbrella. Under which I read all day long. Ah, can’t wait. (I too am heading off to sandy shores.) Hope you both have a chic and relaxing week at the beach!
All the hats are adorable! It looks really good paired with your dresses and it’s super hard for me to find the best one !
