What to wear with a Panama hat - J. Crew Panama Hat

I am turning That's a Pretty Hat

into a Panama hat fashion blog today!

I have a very feminine style
and have always struggled with 
styling menswear hats.

Wearing this J. Crew Panama hat 

makes me feel sophisticated and mysterious. 

I like to cast sultry glances 

from underneath my tilted brim.

I also found inspiration in the

Panama hat and outfit pairings

the staff at my local J. Crew had on display.

I traditionally use a black and white hat

as part of a totally monochromatic outfit.

I think this new idea of topping a multicolor outfit

with a simple Panama hat

provides a little dose of calm

in an otherwise bright and cheery style -
or mural. 

 I wanted to show you 
a beautiful mural I discovered 
in downtown Troy, NY.
