Hats are universally flattering and can be worn by anyone.

Uber stylish celebs like Eric Benét, Ne-Yo and pro-basketball player Serge Ibaka have used short brim fedoras to complement their sleek suits recently.

While street style stars and TV presenters like Nieves Álvarez and Rachel Lindsay Abasolo have opted for statement making toppers to complete their daytime ensembles.

Many people feel intimidated by the idea of wearing a cap. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to pull it off? Try again!

Contrary to popular belief, it’s actually very easy to incorporate any type of hat into a super cute look.

You need to consider the outfit (keep accessories and clothing minimal), the length of your hair (style your locks accordingly) as well as the season (no straw hats during winter)..

Fit is the most important style principle in all areas of fashion - hats included

Fashion is all about fitting. Hats are included.

Hats can easily lose their shape, if they are not stored correctly.

Ginger recommends that you always wear your headgear while traveling, unless it’s absolutely necessary. 

These are her top tips for packing a hat.

· Roll or fold a sturdy clothing item (underwear, socks, tank tops) and stuff them into the crown of the hat for support.

· Lay the hat flat on the bottom of your suitcase right side up.

· Start packing around it so nothing sits on top of the crown.

· If that doesn’t work, carry your hat onto the plane and place it flat on top of your suitcase in the overhead compartment.

To determine the right size for you, 'use a textile measuring tape (or string),' advises Ginger

You can use steam to mold your topper if it gets damaged in transit. 

Ginger shares, “There are multiple ways to steam out a mishapen hat,”

The milliner recommends that you use whatever you have, whether it’s an industrial steamer, handheld steamer, or boiling water pot.

She suggested that you steam the area of your hat in need of reshaping and that you can feel the material softening.

Then, use your hands to straighten the brim or push out any dents. Let the hat cool down and you’re ready to go!

Fashion is all about fitting. The first step in finding the right hat for you is to determine the size.

Ginger advises that you use a string or a textile measuring tape to do this.

Measure the distance from your head to the forehead, measuring the distance between your eyebrows and the back of your head. The tape should be parallel to the ground.

The measurement of a hat is in cm. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up and then adjusting your cap accordingly.

Gigi Pip has four sizes available and offers adjustable styles.  

Yesterday, Eugenia KIM, luxury milliner and Southern Charm star/jeweler Reagan Charleston launched a limited-edition capsule. 

The Eugenia Kim x Reagan Charleston collection offers five styles including fedoras and wide brim hats adorned with Reagan Charleston’s bold ornate lapel pins (which are removable for multiple looks). 

Eugenia and I are thrilled to collaborate. I love the parallels between our stories – two women eschewing their traditional career paths, one in medicine and the other in law, to pursue entrepreneurship and success in creative fashion endeavors,’ said Reagan. 

She adds: ‘Eugenia’s hats and my jewelry play the same role in styling, they both elevate and put the finishing touches on a look, giving that special quality, the cherry on top of an ensemble. 

Eugenia agrees. She says, “Our aesthetic works well together because we share a mutual appreciation of adornments and sleek style.” 

“We are both businesswomen who offer timeless pieces that can transcend a style or evoke the feeling empowering.”
