Fedora
Ah, the classic Fedora we've all coveted at one point in our lives. If you own one of these timeless beauties, great news! You can match it up in an assortment of ways, from wearing it with a skater dress to throwing it on when you're dressed in a simple camisole and jeans getup. The fedora adds a sense of formality that you need if you still want to look fashionable during an errand run.

Wide-brim fedora
Match your wide-brim fedora with a cold-shoulder top or a frilly sun dress for a blend of formality and femininity that will make you look extremely stylish no matter which way you turn. This works with rompers and shorts too, or any other loose-fitting clothes that exude casual elegance, perfect for a relaxed stroll down the streets.

Floppy
The floppy hat can look a lot like the wide-brim fedora, especially since both of them are made of felt and sometimes share the same shape. However, the fedora is slightly more formal, as compared to the floppy hat that encompasses a feminine and whimsical touch to it. Try pairing it with casual work wear or a maxi skirt for that ultimate stylish look.

Baseball and trucker caps are back in fashion! These casual pieces of headwear serve as an excellent accessory to just about any dress-down outfit you have. Whether you decide to wear a shift dress, skater skirt or an oversized windbreaker, put on your favourite snapback and you've just glammed up your outfit by a huge margin!

Sun hat
Save your sun hats for your long, flowy maxi dresses or a day out at the beach! You'll probably need all the shade you can get in the summer heat. What's more, sun hats look best when accompanied by the feminine vibe you get from a sheer floral dress or a sexy swimsuit, so go ahead, get out in the sun and flaunt that summer style!

Sun hat

Hats make for a gorgeous accessory, but sometimes we just need a little inspiration to dare to wear them out.

Singapore is such a sunny city - the perfect place to show off all the hats in your cupboard collection. However, if you step out onto the streets, you'll notice that we Singaporeans rarely wear any form of headwear at all. Perhaps it's because we're constantly under shelter and therefore feel like we don't need to shade ourselves, or maybe styling a hat is just too difficult for the majority of us. Either way, hat season is in, and it'll be a pity if you let it go to waste.

There are many ways that hats or caps can amp up your look effortlessly. Whether it be indoors or outdoors, hats are ultimately an accessory that you shouldn't be afraid of wearing, no matter where you are. With such amazing hat weather in this country, perhaps you could try to head outside more often, instead of staying cooped up in air-conditioned shopping malls every weekend. A little sun and exploration won't hurt!
