For many, the summer means festivals: open-air concerts, tents and a look that harks back to the "flower children".

The hat has, for a long time, been an indispensable accessory for any festival outfit, complementing the fringes, gladiator sandals and feathers, perfect for a day in the open air. In fact, it protects the wearer from the sun and rain, as well as the wearer's hair and hairstyles, which in general tend to more carefree.

A light-coloured straw hat with a colourful band, a Panama or a felt hat for damper climes, perhaps in northern Europe, but also coloured wide-brimmed hats are indispensable for a neo-hippy celebrity look.
