The accessory update: A wide-brim hat

Eternally beloved by cool girls the world over, the wide-brim hat is now making a play for a place in everyone’s closet this season. Don’t be daunted by this piece just because it has personality – it’s actually a fail-safe way to lend serious style to low-key looks. Blue jeans and a white tee take on entirely new meanings when you top them off with a beautifully crafted hat, courtesy of Maison Michel or Saint Laurent – otherwise known as the masters of the I’m-with-the-band aesthetic. If you’re already a wide-brim fan and want to take your look to the next level, try a cowboy hat courtesy of New York-based brand Clyde. Finish with a dusting of everyday diamonds and your wardrobe work is done.
