There is always one hat that seems to become a favorite for the season.  Although still partial to last year's favorite summer hat, I already know one of this summer's new purchases will be well worn by season's end.  The hat pictured below can be worn in any setting, casual or dressy.  The scarf was purchased separately and can be interchanged easily.

All of the hats pictured in this article can be worn casually as well as to church on Sunday.  The straw hat is especially versatile because it can be dressed up or down using scarves, bands, pins and flowers -- the creative possibilities are limitless.
