Item of the Day: A Quaint and Charming Straw Hat


Subtler than your conventional Kentucky Derby hat, this one just exudes sophistication.

What: Edmund Straw Trilby Hat from Reiss

Cost: $70.00

The Clincher: I’ll be the first to admit that I am not one for hats. Not only are they too much hassle (and can lead to horrible hat hair), but I definitely don’t have the right face shape for one. Nonetheless, ever since the royal wedding, hats with huge toppers have been on my radar. In love with all things British (and Kate Middleton’s impeccable style!), I found this straw hat adorned with black flowers to be chic (think Chanel), sophisticated, worldly, and effortless. Whereas some hats scream, “look at me!” this one does nothing of the sort.

For those with a classic style, this straw hat is a must. Wear it with a classy black maxi dress or a Breton stripe tee and shorts for maximum perfection.Add in a cardigan or smart blazer and you're all set!
