If you follow my Instagram (@Mack10988), you know all too well that I never feel fully dressed without a hat. Today I’m topping off my looks with Grace… Grace Hats, that is. Grace has such a variety of styles from cozy casual to quirky fun to feminine chic. There is a hat for everyone, even if you are new to the hat scene. I have four hats to show you that I simply can’t stop wearing.

First off, let’s talk about this Fulling Beret. What is not to like? It’s an effortless way to add a little français in your day. And can we say no more bad hair days? This hat is cute enough to keep on indoors as part of your ensemble.

Sure, it’s pretty cute, but let’s get down to the nitty gritty, because it’s always about the details. I love that this hat is warm enough to replace some of my “function over fashion” winter hats. I wouldn’t go on an arctic dog sledding adventure in it, but for the average winter day, this hat keeps me covered. Plus, I don’t have to worry about taking it off once I arrive at my indoor destination where I would normally make a run to the nearest bathroom and try my best to salvage some sort of presentable hairstyle.

Not all berets are created equal. Perhaps you are a fan of the floppy berets that have a mind of their own and flop wherever they will. I prefer berets with a little more structure to them. Call me a control freak, but I want to be in charge of when and where my beret flops. So I love that this beret has enough weight to it to retain its shape and “behave.”

If you’re a fan of throwing on a baseball cap, and you like a little fun and whimsy in your life, you are the perfect candidate for this next hat, which has become one of my favorites to throw on when I need a little something to spice up a casual look.

The trend undoubtably began before J. Crew got a hold of it, but thanks to the stylists behind the company, baseball caps have branched out from the strictly casual. Once the mainstream company began showing models in baseball caps paired with not-so-casual attire, the baseball hat started getting makeovers.

I love how this Palette Cap is as easy to wear as a baseball hat, but has so much more to offer in terms of style. Fur (whether faux or real) is a big hit this year, and this cap is perfectly on trend.

Many of the Grace hats are adjustable, which is a must for me because my head gets swamped by the one-size-fits-most hats. Unlike a traditional ball hat, the adjustable strap is cleverly hidden inside the hat and is super easy to tighten or loosen as needed.

This next hat is not for the timid. It’s a statement piece and, just like anything else with the word “statement” in front of it, a good conversation starter. Maybe not intended for the beginning hat wearer, but I just can’t help smiling when I wear this one.

In case you were wondering, yes, the googles do come off. So if you are feeling really adventurous you can wear them. I love this cute and unique alternative to a plain black hat. It is such a fun piece to have and play around with different looks.

And what better place to showcase this Aviator Hat than in the Birthplace of Aviation, home of the Wright Brothers, and my own hometown, Dayton, Ohio.

We’ve come a long way since that first flight, but this hat harkens back to the days of Amelia Earhart and fighter jet pilots whose goggles were not a fashion accessory.

Speaking of nostalgia, this next and final hat has all the old school glam of Old Hollywood. This hat can be worn with hair up, making it more dressy, or hair down.

This Caplet is perfectly on trend with its fur. And like the Fulling Beret, it’s effortlessly chic and easy to wear. This hat can take you from day to night with no hair touch ups needed.

Again, like the Fulling Beret, the Caplet is a hat that will go from outside to inside with no need to take it off. And it looks just as good with a turtle neck and jeans as it does with a dress. It is one of those hats that I like to call an instant chic maker.
