Adding Style with Cute Hats

I guess I’ve always loved hats. It reminds me of playing dress up when I was a little girl. Many senior girls don’t have a lot of hats, but never fear, I’m always adding to my collection! The whole idea of a Style Closet started with just ONE one hat. Specifically, a black floppy hat from Target. By 2014 I had started collecting hats and using them with many of my teen and senior girls. Everyone loves them! Hats are such a fun way to change up your look and get even more variety for your senior pictures.

It’s been around forever, but it’s a class and my seniors love it! Being black, it can coordinate with almost any outfit or pair it with these cute heart sunglasses, which are also available from the Style Closet. Hats are a great way to frame your face and show off your eyes too!

A Senior Portrait Must-Have

These sun hats work great as summer accessories for your senior portraits, but in Arizona, you can pretty much wear them any time! I just love Madie’s confident pose as she sits on the back of her blue convertible. You can tell she’s ready to take on the world!

Stylish Sun Hats

Fashionable sun hats are versatile accessories that effortlessly elevate any outfit, adding a chic and stylish flair to your ensemble. With a variety of designs, colors, and materials to choose from, there’s a sun hat to suit every senior girl’s unique sense of style. Whether paired with casual attire for a laid-back vibe or dressed up for a sophisticated look, fashionable sun hats are the perfect accessory for any occasion.

Caleigh’s simple yet elegant yellow sundress paired perfectly with a yellow sun hat from the Style Closet. Together, they create a delightful ensemble exuding sunny charm and timeless sophistication, which matches her vibrant spirit.

Sarah’s light blue floral dress is beautifully paired with a matching blue sun hat, adding a touch of charm to her senior portraits.

Black Newsboy Cap

For an edgy touch of flair, look no further than the black newsboy cap. Its structured silhouette and sleek black hue create a striking contrast against any backdrop. Whether you’re channeling a retro-inspired look or aiming for a contemporary twist, the newsboy cap lends itself to endless possibilities. Pair it with your favorite leather jacket (or borrow this one from the Style Closet) for the perfect urban vibe.

If I dig way back in the archives, I even have this darling cap. I’ve only used it once or twice, but if you have the right outfit it will be super cute!

Cowgirl hats add a touch of Western flair to any outfit. Whether you’re embracing your inner cowgirl or simply seeking to infuse your senior portraits with a dose of frontier spirit, these hats are a versatile accessory choice.
