Love Me or Hat Me

Posted Feb. 20, 2008
I love hats, I do. Cold or hot weather, good or bad hair days, chapeaus add an extra bounce in your step. Even spring’s runways were hat-heavy: Proenza showed tall, feathered ones; Marni went with bright cone shapes; and Dior updated the slouchy knit beret. So many choices but my favorite style is the wide-brimmed one: so polished and mysterious. Equally mysterious is how pricey most caps run nowadays. So this ribbon-trimmed “Ladies of the Canyon” version from Urban Outfitters is refreshingly affordable and adorable. It’s wool so it works well this time of year. And the floppy accessory comes in three different colors—orange, olive, and pale gray—perfect for any hair color.
