Happy National Hat Day beautiful people!! It’s actually SO funny to me how we have all these “national” days now that social media exists. Rarely do I pay too much attention, but I can’t resist when it’s one of my favorite things (cough cough, donuts or hats). 🍩😛🎩 Speaking of, where’s the National Sunglasses Day?!?! I digress…
I wanted to celebrate with you by talking about this year round closet staple, because if you don’t have a solid hat ya NEED to add it to your wardrobe. And NO, I don’t wanna hear that you “can’t pull them off ” or “hat’s just don’t look good on you,” that just means you haven’t found the right one yet! Since I don’t wear toooo much jewelry on the day-to-day, I’ve found hats come in at the last second and totally take your outfit to that next level, adding a completeness that often times a bag/jewelry would give you. 👌
So I’m spilling my hat secrets to you all today! Hoping to make you and your outfit feel more complete and cool (because yes, hats are just coooooool). 😎 🎩Here are my top 5 favorite places to shop the coolest hats:
1. Goorin Bros – Local SF shop thats been around for over 100 years with various retail locations around the city + serious swag
✨ Tip: They celebrate customer loyalty. Buy 10 Hats and you get the 11th free! (lots of hats though, I know). But really I love their upkeep program where you can bring your hat in anytime and they will clean, waterproof, steam and restore your hat back to the best it can be.
2. Worth & Worth – New York made, with an extremely high quality and a wide range from more traditional to more unique, they take sizing very seriously here so you’re sure to find the perfect fit!
✨ Tip: Their shipping cost can be a pricy add-on to the already pricy hat, but they ofter free shipping often (especially holidays or holiday weekends) so keep an eye out and swoop then!
3. Gladys Tamez Millinery – Made in Los Angeles, these hats are definitely on the pricier side but their cool and unique factor is through the roof. If you want the sickest hat possible, then hit up these guys.
✨ Tip: They don’t sell every hat online, some are in select stores or bespoke by appointment (courtlyn@gladystamez.com) so keep your eyes peeled and also check their instagram account (@gladyz_tamez_millinery) for more insider tips.
4. Janessa Leone – Another LA based brand but with a much more affordable price point. Her hats come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials and are all handmade; you’re bound to find the hat you’ve been looking for.
✨ Tip: Their hats do sell out and aren’t necessarily restocked so if you see your dream hat purchase immediately!
5. Rag & Bone – Ok, I know, technically not a hat shop…but they really do make some of the best hats – ask anyone! Perfectly classic with a little edge, Rag & Bone’s hats work just about always.
✨ Tip: They usuallyyyy don’t sell out on all their hats so if you wait until the season sale you might be able to get your fav hat half-off.
And there you have it, my hat run down! If you want to know where a particular hat is from in the above shot just comment below and I’ll be happy to tell you!
Happy National Hat Day! What better way to celebrate than buy a hat! 🎩😄🎩
