Summer hat in neutral, crisp white. Can be found here.

Summer is here! This means we need to start thinking about protecting our face from the sun’s harmful rays. Of course, the chicest, most “hot-off-the-runway” form of protection is a fabulous summer hat!

That’s right! A dramatic, floppy summer hat is a great way to protect your face, and possibly your shoulders, from the sun’s damaging rays. Thankfully, dramatic hats were spotted all over the London, New York, Paris and Milan runways for the spring/summer 2013 season. This means, store shelves are stocked with fabulous hats which not only look amazing and chic; they protect us! Love that!

If you have found yourself wearing a lot of summer 2013’s trend-setting prints, bright colors and neon hues, you may want to invest in a neutral summer hat which will work well with the majority of your warm weather wardrobe. Neutrals which are hot for summer 2013 include classic black, pale beige and crisp white.

If you have chosen a more classic and/or neutral wardrobe for summer 2013, why not add some to pop to your sunshine ensemble with a bright and colorful hat! The hottest hues for summer 2013 include cobalt blue (which is a great investment since it is hot for resort 2014), bright pink, cheery yellow and emerald green.

Chances are you do not need to purchase a large amount of hats for the summer. One or two hats will take you through the season and keep your face protected while making you look chic and fabulous. After all, the beach and the pool deck are our catwalks!

Here are a few fabulous neutral, striped and colorful hats for summer 2013 which will not only protect you from the sun; they will have you looking runway ready in a snap! Love that!  Simple click on the photo or photos of the hat or hats you love and you will be taken to the online shop where you can purchase your new summer hat! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
