If you're not familiar with the Colonel yet ... get familiar. This one is here to stay and a perfect addition to your hat collection. At first glance, folks often say "wow, thats a lot of hat!" And they're not wrong. Colonel Pierce is fierce with its 4.5" crown and pencil curl wide 3.25" brim. The best part? It can be so incredibly versatile.
It is easy to deem this style as solely a statement piece - and we would agree! But it can be tamed and worn casually. The other attribute is because of its neutral tones and merino wool material, it is simple to throw on to complete any look: western, americana, dressy, office, errands, night out - Colonel can do it all!
So why not wear the same hat for every day of the week?! Paired with a varied wardrobe, the Colonel takes on the vibe of whatever it's with:
Monday: button-down shirt, silk trousers, leather slides. // Tuesday: linen jumpsuit, denim kimono, block heels. // Wednesday: ribbed cotton tank, overalls, sneakers. // Thursday: linen maxi dress, cowboy boots. // Friday: black tee, silk midi skirt, suede mules. // Saturday: graphic tee, biker shorts, blazer, sneakers. // Sunday: Farm tee, vintage denim, mules
