If you didn’t already know, I am a HUGE hat lover. I wear hats all year round and have amassed quite a collection. In the summer, I love a wide brimmed hat not only for how it looks, but it is also amazing at providing additional sun protection and allows me to skip an extra day of hair washing LOL. I first discovered Janessa Leone hats almost 5 years ago and since then her styles have become my go-to brand for hats. The fit, the styles and the construction of the hats are like no other brand I have tried.
Many of my readers will tell me they don’t look good in hats and while it can take some time to get used to seeing yourself in one, I recommend splurging on a really nice one. I’m not saying all expensive hats look better, but I can really tell the difference when wearing one of Janessa Leone’s styles. I tend to gravitate towards straight brimmed hats in the summer and a slightly floppy style in the fall/winter. For summer, I love this straw one that I purchased last year (see me also wearing it here), this large brimmed gray style that I purchased two years ago (see me also wearing it here), the brown fedora I am wearing in today’s post which is a new one I bought a few weeks ago and this white fedora that I also picked up during that same shopping trip. For the winter, I have two wool fedoras that I wear constantly – this classic black style that was the first hat I ever bought from her and this gray fedora with a black accent.
If you are looking to add a new hat to your collection or try out one for the first time, I can’t recommend her styles enough! You get what you pay for with her designs and they are such a great statement piece that you can wear for years to come.
