5 Ways To Wear A Wide Brim Hat

Earlier this week I got an email from one of my fabulous readers requesting a 5 WTW base around my Oxblood hat, She just picked it up on clearance and wanted a little insight on styling it. It just so happens that I've actually worn it a little over 5 times so it fit perfectly in the swing of things. Turns out, wide brim hats are a lot more versatile that I originally anticipated and this one in particular has become a favorite. So Shelly, Here's 5 Ways To Wear a Wide Brim Hat...

1. Casually Layered
Top off jeans and a tee, and you can't go wrong..
2. With Some Fringe
Play with some fringe and leather for a just a taste of 'hipster chic'..
3. With A Maxi
Want to feel a little more bohemian? Add a maxi, wavy hair and a little fringe...
4. With A Flirty Dress
 Pair it with A Flirty Dress With Boots, for a more trendy appeal..
5. With Chambray
Grab that other neutral in your closet, Chambray, it goes with everything...

How would you wear it?

Wide brimmed hats are so much fun, they're really the only sort of hat that looks decent on me so I've built up a little collection. I love that first outfit, the hat with the jacket and the boots is so cute and fun! (And haha, I have really similar items in my closet, yay!)

Love them all - everytime I've tried on a hat like this, though, it doesn't look right on me...I think my head is too big? But I am jealous that you pull it off so well :)
