Want to stand out from the crowd? The key is the right accessories – and hats are a particularly effective statement piece. Hats add a touch of character to any outfit and come in all shapes and sizes. One style which I’ve recently come to appreciate are what I call the “Madeline” hat (yes, like the sort worn by the little French schoolgirl) with a structured brim. They’re not the type you slap on to disguise a bad hair day – rather, they are placed strategically near the crown of the head, tilted oh-so-slightly. This little touch of flair will make a simple day time outfit more fun and interesting, or an evening look dramatic and bold.
Another style inspiration is Frank Sinatra – I would love to see these old school hats make a come back on the heads of Adelaidean gents. Rat Pack-style fedoras look great with a tailored shirt and jeans to give your outfit a bit more edge.
Ladies, no matter the hat you choose, a bit of bold red lipstick with a hat expressing your individual style will hit all the right notes.
What is your take?
