Returning from Paphos, a sunny holiday destination, to dreary rainy ol’ England is quite depressing in itself, but what I really miss is being able to walk out in my holiday fashion attire. It was great on holiday to be able to wear lots of summery garments and seeing how other peoples summer wardrobe’s compared. I didn’t go too overboard on the fashion front as in that kind of heat I wanted to be comfortable, but there is one thing I definitely missed out on when packing – a hat.

I have never really been a hat person, they just don’t suit me and make my hair flat to my face, which really, for me, isn’t an attractive look. Whilst taking relaxing strolls around the island I saw so many girls in 1970′s style hats which looked amazing – I could definitely feel myself turning green, which is very noticeable over my burnt skin base ( ha! ). I thought I would show you a selection of hats that are a staple in this season’s look that I love, consequently unlike me, you wont miss out.

I love the bright combination of orange and purple on this hat, definitely a hit for summer. Not only will the oversized style protect your face and head from the sun ( I don’t know about you but a burning scalp is painful?) but it will accessorize a number of outfits. My choice would be to pair it with a simple black maxi dress and gold or tan sandals.

Orange Straw Stripe Floppy Hat
£25 – Topshop

Although Breakfast at Tiffany’s was a 50s film, this hat reminds me very much of Audrey Hepburn’s style. Black is classic and is the epitome of elegance, definitely one to impress.

Floral Floral Floral, this is definitely my favourite. Whimsical and summery, this beauty comes in three different colours and would look great teamed with white.
