Let’s face it, not everyone reaches for a hat to finish off an ensemble. For some, it feels as natural as putting on a sweater; for others, it gets pretty tricky and feels quite odd. If you’re one of ’em naysayers, perhaps Mari Jasmine’s effortlessly chic looks can give you some serious style inspo and a helpful nudge to get you out of your comfort zone. Let’s break it down, shall we?

#1 If you find hats a tad too masculine, surely a back-baring top would give you that sultry vibe. (Note: Seal the deal with loose trousers for that cool/ uncontrived look.)

#2  A printed scarf goes a long way in the style department.👌

# 3  As Mari would say, “Giving farmer chic a go.” Slip into an easy-breezy linen combo to complement a wide-brimmed hat without looking overdone.

#4  A day chilling at the beach (in an equally cute swimsuit) is always a good excuse to wear a hat.

#5  Why not start off with the good ol’ baseball or Newsboy cap on weekends and work your way up from there?
