The Fall ‘06 runways were chock-full of floppy hats, thanks to designers like Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, and Proenza Schouler. Lucky for us, translating the look onto the streets is as easy as finding the right one for your face. If your face is narrow, opt for a small floppy hat. If your face is heart-shaped, pick a wider one. Once you find your perfect floppy, bad hair days won’t ever seem so bad after all.
P.S. Thanks, Lou, for the story idea!

Think back to the early 90’s: upon hearing the word "plaid," one would envision Nirvana’s frontman Kurt Cobain rocking out on his guitar, clad in his wrinkled plaid flannel button-down shirt. Flashback to now - plaid has undergone a major transformation and screams ruggedly elegant. Choose from one of our plaid picks, and you’ll be right on trend for fall. Nappy hair and tractor not required.
