With the month of April having just wrapped up, we turn our attention to the repeated hats we saw worn this month that we admired most. Seven designs in bright hues- upsweeps, an hourglass, a calot and a beret – all stood out and it now time to compare these six beauties with greater scrutiny and determine a winner.
Please click on each photo or caption to link back to original feature posts with additional views, information and discussion on each hat. Here are these seven finalists for April, shown in the order they were worn:
