I love to pull off a good look. Whether I’m dolled up in sky-high heels or gracing the concrete runway in a classic pair of Jordan Ones, my style objective remains the same – I wear what makes me happy.
In the same vein, happiness is parallel to comfort. Functionality matters to me and I’m constantly looking for ways to add memorable accents to even the simplest of ‘fits. Enter in one of my favorite accessories: the almighty hat.
A good hat can change your life! About 90% of my day-to-day life, my natural hair is styled in two-strand twists, a protective style that nourishes my tresses, limits traction and locks in moisture. If I decide not to style my twists, I simply throw on an eye-catching headpiece and (voilà )… magic!
And, I do not discriminate… baseball caps, bucket hats and a recently thrifted pinstripe newsboy cap (as seen in the main photo) all grace the likes of my ever-changing wardrobe.
If you’re looking for a way to add an element of cool to your ensemble, try donning a hat. It’s simple yet effective. Go bold with a more colorful option or play it safe with a grounded neutral. I suggest checking out Urban Outfitters and Nordstrom for quality finds. Don’t sleep on the thrift shop either!
Sound off below: Which accessory serves as the “finishing touch” to all of your outfits? I’d love to hear more about your method in topping off your looks.
