Hats say something. They make a statement. They are more than just protection from the sun. They are a style conversation waiting to happen.

I adore hats, but, truthfully, I’ve never had much luck with them. Most hats in stores are too big for me. That’s why Gigi Pip is an excellent place to find a stylish hat. They make adult XS hats and offer various sizes.

I was thrilled to partner with Gigi Pip because I’ve seen their hats all over the internet and have admired them, but I never thought they would be worth my money because of my history with poor hat sizing. When they asked me to talk about how to choose a hat I was very honest with my past experiences and immediately they pointed me to their brilliant sizing guide.

Once I knew my size, I was able to shop by size and see which hats would be best for my head shape. Game changer! To my surprise, there was a huge selection, and then it became a game of narrowing down my options.

As you can tell, I had a hard time choosing. I went with three different hats in three different colors. You can tell in these photos alone that the color of a hat changes the overall experience of an outfit.

A black hat makes a big style statement where as the soft brown color appears more casual. I would say hats are very similar to shoes in that they can make or break an outfit too.

So, some important things to think about are:

Do you enjoy making big fashion statements or blending in?
Do you want to create more contrast with your hair and skin?
Do you want a hat style that is versatile for any outfit or are you looking for a certain type of combination?
Do you want to have variety in your wardrobe?

For me, I like variety. I like options. I like the idea of wearing a hat with a fancy outfit or with jeans. So, I chose the Monroe in ivory, the Ginger in taupe, and the Dahlia. I’m so happy with my selections. I’ve already worn these hats with a ton of outfits. I highly recommend Gigi Pip for quality, well-made hats.
