The only better than swapping out your fall and winter go-to’s for your favorite sundresses and summer shorts, is accessorizing them. It goes without saying that the sunglasses that have been sitting at the back of your closet shelves will finally be making their way out to play, and you’ve probably gotten your hands on a good number of summer handbags for the season as well. The accessory you might be for getting, but should definitely be on your list? Hats. Trendy summer hats can take an outfits from 0 to 100 in the blink of an eye, and there’s no accessory that transforms an outfit the way they do.

Whether you’re headed to the pool, packing for a vacation, or on the hunt for something to spruce up your jeans and t-shirt on a lazy day, the summer hats ahead are the kind of pieces you’ll find yourself reaching for habitually all season long.
