Prada Summer Hats

Clearly there’s a woman out there daring enough to wear one of these eccentric Prada summer hats! I stopped in my tracks and had to snap a few pictures of these hats as they were so unique and so embellished–and weighty–that they resembled more works of art than actual accessories to be worn. Do you see all the shells attached? It definitely takes some chutzpah to pull off such an outrageous hat, but if worn the right way–simple and streamlined–it can be a fabulous summer accent. You certainly will garner plenty of attention; just be careful not to stand still too long or you may find yourself becoming a bird’s nest!

$1265 and $1670, available at Prada SoHo (212-334-8888)

  1. Ooh, well I just love those. How many times have you not seen a hat and though bleh, how boring. But these two hats aren’t all ‘Mercedes polo match’, or ‘Talbots at the beach’. These are quirky, boho chic summer with a little attitude, just wonderful.
