This year, choose between traditional brimmed hats and quirky vintage finds reminiscent of Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl. No matter your choice, be bold—after all, this is the time of year to make a statement.

Black Beauty
A simple black style looks classic and chic when paired with a sophisticated sheath dress in a single color. Hats.com; $48.99.
