Top Off Your Sunny Style With These 16 Straw Hats

Fedora, wide-brimmed, cloche-shaped, and Panama-style — the one thing these silhouettes have in common?

Fedora, wide-brimmed, cloche-shaped, and Panama-style — the one thing these silhouettes have in common? How totally seasonal they look in straw-hat form. If we have anyone to thank for our newfound love of this particular style, it's Stacy Keibler and her plethora of enviable Lake Como outfits, all of which include a variation on the slick straw-infused fedora. The most apparent reason we love a great straw hat, though? It's so versatile in its styling options. From daytime cool (throw it one with a casual maxi dress) to date night-appropriate (just add it to a sweet floral skirt-and-silk blouse combo), the hat wears, well, many different hats. To make sure you've got plenty of options, we've culled the best of the straw-hat bunch. Shop your favorites and tell us how you'll be wearing it next.

Fab Finding Followup: Raise the Roof

The weather is still warm and I love it.

The weather is still warm and I love it. Last week I attended a hotel rooftop pool party with a bunch of friends. I'm sure I'll cherish the memory come next season's gusty winds. Lots of splashing, drinking, munching, and some dancing were involved. Who was up for the challenge of dressing me? I asked you to help me find a super-cool bathing suit, sandals, a hat, and a coverup. Long live Summer!
I started you off with this Marc Jacobs Collection Carter Wristlet ($595) because all I needed to carry was cash.

Look #1, created by KikiM, is all about gold and earthtones. That Missoni caftan is hippie chic.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Beach Boardwalk, in the Warm California Sun

Last weekend I headed to Santa Cruz with the fam.

Last weekend I headed to Santa Cruz with the fam. We enjoyed the sun and roller coasters at the Beach Boardwalk, followed by a nice dinner. I was pretty worn out by dinnertime, but lucky for me, I had your help. I asked you to find a look that would do double duty from a day at the beach to a night on the town.

I started you off with this Forever 21 Straw Weave Rodeo Hat ($9). It's cute, cheap, and protected me from the sun.

Look #1, created by hil34, will take me from sun to dusk. Smart to choose a hands-free messenger bag!
