The Summer Hat

Whether tipped to the side or slid back on the head, there's a throwback swagger that comes with wearing a good hat—especially this time of year. Look for a slimmed-down style, with a slightly flattened crown and shortened brim—known back in the 1960s as a stingy brim fedora. The style has been growing in popularity for the past few summers, but seems to be everywhere this year. From Steven Alan's 100% Panama straw version to Gap's speckled paper straw, there's one for any style or budget.

  Like a shoe tree for hats, The Hat Jack ($18) absorbs moisture and helps retain your hat's shape and size.
