Beat the heat

It's wicked outside. Just plain miserable. But, you still want to look good. Right? Start from the top. Protect your dome if you find yourself outside. Straw hats are super cool and super cool. They look good and will block out some of the harmful rays the sun just happens to give off. While you're at it, test out a Panama Hat. It's a bit dressier. Notice the brim is slightly stiffer than the hat above. The more flexible the brim, the more casual the hat. Certainly, that's not a rule set in stone by the style gods (Alan Flusser, Esquire, GQ/Apparel Arts, etc). It can be worn with summery suits but probably works better with trousers. That means it won't work at the beach as well. Here is none other than Sir Sean Connery, the man every man wanted to be as Agent 007.
