CROWN YOURSELF Tip Your Hat with These Six Stylish Head Accessories BY BECCA HENSLEY
TO QUOTE IRISH HAUTE COUTURE MILLINER Philip Anthony Treacy OBE (often described as the greatest living milliner): “How a hat makes you feel is what a hat’s all about.” To whit, while hats can shield you from the sun, complete your outfit, or keep your head warm (or cool), they most of all bespeak your stylish soul. Here’s to donning more hats, preferably at rakish angles.
“Hatpreneur” (and model) Kai Lassen has lived around the world. She brings her savoir faire to her custom hats (also sold as ready to wear online and at trunk shows). The Kelly, made with rabbit fur felt in sky blue, is a wide brimmed fedora stitched with wildflower embroidery. $545 kailassen.com
