Inspired by: summer hats

The sunshine is here and we’re soaking it up! We’re totally ready for crowded patios, picnics in the park, cottage getaways, and sun, sun, sun! Who’s with us?! Our summer essentials have officially been pulled from storage and are quickly replacing their cooler-weather counterparts in outfit rotation. It’s a good feeling.

Topping the list of summer essentials for us is a great, looks-good-with-everything hat. To be honest, we’re sold on hats in any season, but especially in the summer. Hats protect us from the sun; are good for covering up any humid hair days (extremely necessary in Toronto); and make any outfit, no matter how casual, look that much more pulled together – which is handy when you’re running out the door and to the beach.

While we love felted hats any day of the year, for the next couple of months, we’re looking for anything wide-brimmed, woven, floppy, and fun. Because as cute as that felt fedora is, summer in Ontario begs for something a little less warm. So, this summer, we’re all about hats that say, “We’re heading on vacation, but ready to stop at a farmer’s market on the way!”

Since you’re not wearing your beautiful winter hats in this heat, why not give them a vacation of their own by sending them our way for cleaning? We specialize in unique garments and taking care of different fabric textures, which means that we’re great at cleaning hats.

We know that you like it when we post great fashion photos, so here are some of our favourite summer hats, this year:
