Summertime means days spent outdoors, making it perfect for pulling out those oversized floppy hats from your closet. Some have an aversion to hats because they make such a statement — that happens to be the same reason why I love them. To avoid a look that’s too Kentucky Derby for the everyday, style it with a playful romper and lace-up boots. Piling on an armful of jewelry is always a chic finish.
