Dressy Sun Hats

About

An elegant hat for a white linen dress is a light-toned straw or structured shape that complements the dress without competing with its clean lines. This collection gathers refined boaters, fedoras, cloches, and wide brims for resort lunches, garden parties, outdoor weddings, and beach dinners, and for anyone over 40 who wants a polished, structured look. Eric Javits believes a dressy sun hat should do three things: lift an outfit, offer wearable sun coverage, and survive travel. These styles are chosen to pair with white and cream dressing, work with subtle trims and metallic accessories, and stay looking put together from daytime shade to evening plans.
