What does a girl need in her summer wardrobe? A wide-brimmed hat.

The wide-brimmed hat is not a new accessory, but it is often forgotten when preparing to refresh the summer wardrobe. In the fashion trend that increasingly favors minimalism and smart choices, this hat is not only aesthetic, but also meets the practical factor very well - both creating a highlight for the overall outfit, and helping to protect the skin and hair from the summer sun in a subtle way.

Celidior will help you look at that seemingly simple hat from a different perspective: as an accessory worth investing in for the sunny season, and a gentle "personal signature" in every outfit.

Why is a wide-brimmed hat an indispensable item?

Protection – without sacrificing aesthetics

In hot weather, familiar sun protection solutions such as jackets, umbrellas and sunscreen are often prioritized. But a wide-brimmed hat – with a brim that covers the face and neck – can do the job well in a very fashionable way.

A big plus is the ability to naturally shade the face – which is the most vulnerable area to sunlight. In addition, hats also help reduce direct exposure of hair to UV rays, limiting dryness or fading of dyed hair.

“Shape” your outfit discreetly

No need for too many accessories or layers, just a suitable hat is enough to change the overall visual impression.

In basic outfits like white dresses, plain maxi dresses or tank top + cropped pants sets, adding a wide-brimmed hat can make the whole outfit stand out and create depth without having to try too hard.

Slow breathing in clothing

The slow lifestyle – refined living – does not necessarily need to be expressed in words. Just a light outfit, a straw bag, a pair of thin-strap sandals, and a light, wide-brimmed hat, you already carry within yourself the spirit of relaxation – a version of fashion that is not forced, not following the trend, but always has style.

How to choose the right wide-brimmed hat?

According to face shape

• Round face: should choose soft brim, not too wide, prioritize slightly droopy form to create balance.

• Long face: wide, horizontal rim, moderate firm form will help the face look fuller.

• Square face: prioritize hats with slightly tilted brims, light materials such as silk or canvas, creating overall softness.

By material

• Raffia: traditional, cool, easy-to-shape material - suitable for travel or picnics.
• Canvas, woven linen: suitable for daily use, especially in hot and humid weather.
• Soft cotton or raw fabric: light weight, shapeable but not too stiff.

Note: choose a material that is airy, not too thick or has a thermal lining to avoid feeling stuffy when wearing for a long time.

By color

Safe but not boring color palette for wide-brimmed hats includes: ivory, light beige, stone gray, smoky brown, matte black.

These are colors that are easy to coordinate and do not “overwhelm” the outfit. For those who like to be different, you can choose a hat with a light accent: fabric bow, colored thread border, or delicately sewn logo.
