Summer Wedding Hat Styles
Weddings are one of those times when you can have fun trying out the different hat styles, and the bigger, the better. Wide-brimmed hats are perfect for summertime and special occasions wouldn’t be the same without them. However, it is wise to get the look right and make sure it compliments what you wear on the day. Not everyone can wear a wide brim despite how glamorous they look; a small-brimmed hat may be better and can be soon bedecked with finery to set off an outfit.

Classic skirt suits from Eastex and plus size occasion wear from Navabi, Chesca and Jacques Vert.

Whereas fashion followers and younger models may crave whatever is in vogue and be on the lookout for the latest designer dresses.
