My Favorite Hats for Traveling

It’s no secret that I love a good hat! While venturing around Europe last summer—through Ireland, Italy, and Greece—I sported my fair share of chapeaus. From straw boaters to wooly fedoras and even a fisherman-style cap, hats are the perfect way to polish an outfit, great for avoiding some harsh rays…and best of all—they’re ideal for hiding unwashed hair!

Ya feel me?

How Do You Travel With Hats?

I frequently get questions about how I travel with so many hats. I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeves!

• Three: stack them, fill them, and create a cocoon in your suitcase with socks, shirts, and other soft materials.
