Where to Find the Perfect Summer Hat

The heat, the glare, the dermatologist’s admonishments regarding melanoma. Whatever the reason, in summer, your head wants a hat.

Tweed caps, merino beanies, and rabbit-fur ushankas likewise pull their weight in certain dressy contexts. But that weight was heavyweight, and now you want all the style provided by a hat with none of the heatstroke.
