Ah, summer! 'Tis the time for beaches and vacations. 'Tis also the time for sunburns and (hopefully!) lots of SPF. A great way to protect your face from the sun is to wear a hat (the face is one of the top areas for skin cancer. Also, do you really want all those sun-induced wrinkles?). And a great way to wear your hat is with a scarf! Some floppy hats can be pretty dull, even if they are a bright, cheery color. So, without further ado, here are some ways to pair your hat with a fun Vera scarf:
The Kentucky Derby
This style reminds me of the fancy hats at the Kentucky Derby. You can wear this to an outdoor wedding, or any kind of fancy outdoor to-do. It not only protects your face from the sun, but also the back of your neck.
Step 1: Drape the scarf (this is a silk wrap size) across the crown of the hat and let the ends hang down the sides.
Step 2: Tie the two ends under your chin.
Step 3: You have the option of tying the ends in a bow or letting the ends drape over your shoulder (shown here). You can also let the scarf hang down over the back of the hat (shown here) to protect your neck. This is also a great way to keep your hat from blowing off in the wind.
Step 1: Take an oblong scarf and position it on the front of the crown of the hat.
Step 2: Tie the scarf in a bow around the crown of the hat.
Step 3: Look totally fabulous! See? Very easy. With this extra long scarf, the tails in the back add more drama.

The Band-it

This style tops off your hat with color and pattern! It adds a little flair to your flop!
Step 1: Fold your square scarf diagonally to create a triangle. Position the middle of the triangle on top of the crown of the hat.
Step 2: Take the two long ends and tie them around the crown of the hat.
Step 3: Tie the tails in a double knot (or a bow). You may need to tuck some of the scarf in at the top--it can have a tendency to pucker and look like cat ears where the tails are pulled around.
And there you have it! I don't recommend wearing silk scarves on your hat in the rain, but other than that, perfect for those sunshiny summer days, or the gray ones when you just need more color!
