Open enough to be light as air and slouchy enough to be effort- lessly worn, Timbrel is the quintessential warm weather hat. The gentle swirl of the diagonal lace brings to mind spring breezes and the nubby silk in the mix is natural like summer hair allowed to dry freely in the sun. The way the eyelets continue to swirl seamlessly to the very top reminds me of perfectly executed soft serve ice cream. This is spring and summer casual chic at its best.
