Hats: Accessories to elevate your look

Elsa completed her outfit with a chic, wide-brim hat in a soft neutral tone, accented with a ribbon that perfectly tied the look. Although hats are typically worn at weddings and formal events, this timeless accessory is making its way into everyday summer wardrobes, proving its versatility. To add a touch of sparkle, Elsa chose strappy block-heeled shoes adorned with rhinestones, giving her ensemble just the right amount of glamour.
