Trendy Hats: The Outfit Completer

I'm really late on the brimmed hat trend that took over in fall of 2014. That's only because it took me so long to find the perfect one. Personally, I have a narrow head so hats don't fit. But this hat has a few tricks underneath it, literally, and it's perfect for completing any outfit.

Brimmed hats come in a ton of different shapes, sizes, brims, loose or stiff. I've tried so many styles trying to find something that fit and eventually gave up. While exploring the Brooklyn Night Bazaar, the most hipster thing I've done since living in New York, I found a booth with a lot of these hats. What these hats had that none of the major retailer had is an adjustable elastic to tighten or loosen the hat to your head size. I wish the owner had given me a business card so I can share the company with you, these hats were truly awesome.

I find that a hat (aka not a beanie for once) really completes an outfit from head to toe. Especially if you're like me and don't particularly like to accessorize. It's also great if you're one that doesn't have a prominent facial feature, like myself as well, it really brings out your looks and face. They go with any style, which is great. For this post I was going to do a chicer, all black look, but then switched to a wintery boho. I paired my new head piece with a Brandy Melville plaid shirt, Hollister shall and H&M mom jeans. I felt cute, cozy and adorable!
