Who says hats are exclusive for the colder seasons? No one. From Ridgewood to Montclair, the hat-hair to bare-head ratio is growing exponentially. This summer it's all about wide brim floppy hats. I've been seeing a large mix of straw and wool felt, despite the heat. Whenever I add my favorite Free People fedora, my outfit can instantly go from street to sunflower field. Snapbacks definitely relax your look and bring out more of a west coast. If you're looking to dress down an outfit, I suggest going to your nearest thrift store where you can find hundreds of unique snapbacks.
Can we talk about texture for a second? I'm obsessed with playing with texture. Whether it's leather, suede, wool, or silk, I can't help but experiment. I highly recommend, if you haven't done so already, to just spend a few hours getting acquainted with your closet and just experimenting with your own fabrics and textiles. My new friend here has obviously mastered this skill, as seen by his paring of a pastel blue basket woven tank with heather grey cotton shorts.
The second trend I've been noticing more and more is really toe-riffic! Get it? Okay shoes and socks. Now, do you get it? No? Fine, whateva. But the point is, you can sneak in some extra flare by cuffing your pants to reveal a few inches of sock. This can add an extra pop of color, texture and dimension to your outfit. I really loved the chunky knit wool contrasted against the worn alligator.
