Look of the Day: Mad Hatter

Thanks to the British penchant for fascinators (and their prominence in the news lately), we've been paying more attention to great big hats.


Thanks to the British penchant for fascinators (and their prominence in the news lately), we've been paying more attention to great big hats. How do you make them work, and look chic? Fab reader sorelle does a fantastic job with this Summer outfit. The red, wide-brim hat has a sophisticated, retro feel, but she avoids any matronly references by putting together a young, fresh outfit underneath the hat: floral print shorts, a silky tee, and big cocktail ring. We love how a Summer hat can add such eclectic appeal to a sweet outfit.

Congrats to sorelle!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and we might just feature you on FabSugar!

Two highly anticipated accessory collaborations with Target will be available in stores and on Target.com Sunday April 18. Eugenia Kim's summer collection of straw fedoras (we're loving the mint green above), a woven cloche, printed bucket hat, and oversize sun hat each include sweet details — a tiny parrot, embroidered flowers, or printed ribbons — and are a complete steal at $19.99.

Cynthia Vincent's footwear collection for Target features the designer's signature thick straps and chunky wedges in bright colors and ethnic prints. With each style under an affordable $30, there's no reason not to go for standout pieces like the sunshine yellow wedge or a bright pink flat. Click through both look books in the gallery below.
