From Pharrell’s Canadian Mountie inspired Vivienne Westwood headpiece at the Grammy’s to the sartorial creations of Christopher Bailey, wide brimmed hats – and hats alike – have been creeping their way into the fashion spotlight. Felt or suede, over-sized, floppy or structured, headwear of the calibre is just what the Australian summer calls for.
Whether you’re lounging on the beach basking in the warm summer rays, exploring the vast expanses of the Australian landscape or simply walking the high streets, brimmed hats are the go-to accessory for practicality and effortless cool. So with that in mind, it seems almost a sin not to jump on the band wagon.
Of course not everyone can afford the technicolour creations at Burberry. Or the luxurious pieces crafted at Lanvin. So I’ve found solace in the beautifully constructed pieces at Fallen Broken Street and Lack of Color. If anyone knows the who-is-who in wide brimmed hats, these two are truly a head above the rest (pardon the pun).

the streets of Byron Bay, Fallen Broken
Street is the go-to for you stylish world travellers and crazy cool
kids. Their hats have sat atop of some of the world biggest celebrities such as Cara Delevingne. Their
cutting edge pieces are made from excellent craftsmanship and some of
the finest material money can buy. They also stock beanies, caps and
gloves and now too, mini version of some of their best-selling pieces for
children alike. I’m personally
eyeing the Dingo in Wine or the Cove in Black - definitely a summer
essential.
Channelling
a more sophisticated approach to the humble headwear is Lack of Color - clean, minimal and exuding an understated class. These pieces are incredibly versatile for all you ladies out there – take it to the beach, wear it
out with friends or even as the ultimate accessory to dress up an outfit on a
night out. Made from the finest wool, they are
perfectly trimmed with genuine leather or metallic gross-grain ribbon.
I personally know that Sharon loves Montana Silver Haze. For a trans-seasonal piece with an understated sophistication, the creations at Lack of Color are seemingly impossible to pass by.
