The Perfect Little Touch

By: Kennedy Brown

Have you ever put on an outfit and felt like it’s just missing something? It happens to the best of us. Whether it’s missing the right shoe, a cute scarf, or the right set of earrings, we have all struggled at some point to find that perfect last-minute touch. As warmer weather approaches and our closets turn over from winter to summer, having a stash of last-minute accessories is crucial to complete any look.

European fashion is all about being simplistic yet elegant.

When the weather is warm, everyone needs light and airy clothes. The nude tones have defined 2020; light pink, beige, white, and tan are just a few trending colors. While outfits that feature these color tones are stunningly beautiful, they can sometimes leave you feeling like you’re missing something. However, a simple hat can completely solve that problem and might become one of the staple pieces you keep in your closet to add that perfect last-minute touch.

A cute hat can enhance any outfit within a matter of seconds. Some of our favorites this year consist of boater hats, cowboy hats, and fedoras. Now let’s break them down and give you a closer look so that you can purchase the perfect one.

A tiny hat can make a huge difference.

Adding a hat is the perfect way to make any outfit stand out yet look effortlessly chic. When purchasing a hat, it’s helpful to keep in mind your personality since accessories can enhance that. Whether it’s the color, material, detailing, sizing, or shape, each hat is unique in its own way. Now go to the store and search for the one that’s screaming your name. You won’t regret it! It’s going to be that perfect little touch to every outfit you wear this summer.

the fedora

A fedora is the perfect mix of a boat hat and a cowboy hat. The fedora started being worn by women in the late 1800s in France. In the late 19th century, the fedora became a symbol of gender equality, being worn by many activists of feminism. As you can see, this hat has come a long way, and it’s back and better than ever. This item can spice up any wardrobe and make an elegant, dainty outfit look strong and powerful. Something we love about fedoras is the multiple color options. Trending right now is army green which gives a bold pop. Even a soft baby pink provides an outfit with the perfect yet subtle pop of color that it might be missing.

the cowboy hat

You might ask yourself how a cowboy hat could be European chic, but you will be surprised at how far this accessory has come within the world of fashion. The cowboy hat has slowly made its way over to European style within the last few years, and this year, it’s a must-have. Whether it’s taupe brown or white, this hat will accentuate any outfit. When choosing a cowboy hat, you can take the simplistic route or go with something a little more unique. We have seen cowboy hats with detailing along the middle and even some that possess higher top sections. Each one is unique, and it’s essential to find one that represents your personality.

the boater hat

Boater hats originated in the late 19th century in Venice. Originally only worn by men, the boater hat has become a staple fashion piece for women, especially in Europe. These hats come in different sizes, materials, and colors such as beige, light brown, and white, and the velvet, straw, and wool material add a unique touch to any look. Some options even come with intricate detailing, such as silk ribbon, beading, and embroidering.
