As we head into the fall the season the days will start to get shorter, the nights will get chillier, and the fashion will only get better. In my opinion, there is no better season to dress for than fall. Fall dressing is all about beautiful coats and jackets, shoes and accessories. Materials get more lush, and accessories get more luxurious. It's time to put away those floppy beach hats for the season and replace them with the new It Item: A rancher hat.
So, what exactly is a rancher hat? A rancher hat has as a broad brim and creased crown. This style, usually worn by cowboys or farmers in the Western part of the United States has made its way to the forefront of the fashion scene as an eclectic staple worn by fashion lovers around the world. Available in all sorts of materials from dreamy suede to soft felt, they're available in a variety of colors and complete any fall or winter look seamlessly. The best part? It's an easy addition to just about everything you already have in your closet.
