A Steal-Worth Idea from The Royal Wedding and The Preakness Stakes

8 Budget-Friendly Hat Ideas

Between the royal wedding that took place last Saturday, May 19, 2018, and the 2018 Kentucky Derby, which was on Saturday, May 5, 2018, in Louisville, Kentucky, both events showed beautiful and unique hats by top designers that were worthy of second looks and steal-worthy!

The Derby itself is held annually in Louisville on the first Saturday in May, at the end of the two-week-long festival, ladies have a chance to step out of their comfort zone and try something new, like wearing a hat/fascinator, which is not common in the US.

What makes this festival so popular every year, are the hats and unique styles. You can see celebrities wearing wide brim hats with flowers, bows, feathers, or fascinators (A fascinator is a small headpiece that is generally worn on the right side of the head. It is often made from beads, ribbons, and feathers and can be attached to headbands, combs, elastic or clips and does not have a brim.) completed with a similar style.

Now that the wedding and Derby are over, and the hats might be stashed away for next year's event (Derby), why not keep them out for the rest of the year and show them off some more, like your wedding!

So, instead of the traditional veil, the shabby/chic bride would consider wearing a hat/fascinator to complete her wedding look. To choose the perfect hat, use this guide to help you figure out what look would be right for your face type

Some gorgeous hats there. I've never thought about size guides, I've always tried on what I've bought and didn't realise they came in different sizes. Thanks for linking with #pocolo

I love the look of hats and wish there was an opportunity to wear them. I have a few in my closet, but haven't worn one for several decades.
