Think hats are just for bad hair days? Think again! With the sun shining as brightly as ever while summer draws to a close, a cute fedora or a floppy-brimmed straw hat is just the thing to keep the sunshine out of your eyes and off your delicate cheeks. But how should you style your tresses to look super-adorable under your cap?

These days, you shouldn’t be wearing a hat to hide yourself – you should be wearing it to be the center of attention! For maximum impact, leaves your locks loose underneath your cap. Use a wide-barreled curling iron to create large, flowing waves that’ll cascade down you back as you skip up the street or lay back on the beach. Comb the curls out with your fingers for a windswept look that’s as natural as it is romantic.

If you want to wear your hair back, you can’t go wrong with a low ponytail. Secure your locks at the base of your neck and, if your hair is long enough, sweep the resulting ponytail over one shoulder. Alternatively, you can twist it up into a bun below one of your ears for a sexy yet sophisticated style that’ll transition effortlessly from day to night.

Forget about waiting for a bad hair day – break out your favorite baseball cap, fedora, derby hat or fascinator any time you please!
