May is Melanoma Awareness month! Use Dorfman Pacific's floppy style brimmed hat

May is Melanoma Awareness month and I want to share a great hat with you for those hot summer days. I am not much of a hat wearer but I am in love with this hat.

Dorfman Pacific has been expanding the sun protection portion of its line season after season and the 2013 Scala and Tropical Trends  brand collections are the most exciting and comprehensive yet. The variety is enormous and exciting so that everyone is tempted to discover a hat they can enjoy that expresses their own personal style.

Solids, stripes, patterns in simple or high fashion silhouettes abound. Buckles, bows, ties and shells are just a few examples of the unique detailing included in the mix. Visors, fedoras, floppies, safari looks, caps, bucket shapes, boonies and large sun brims (up to 10 inches!) are all so appealing that most women will want several. Hats are featured in many wonderful materials, too. Cotton, raffia, toyo, sewn ribbon, and paper braid are just a few of many options. Priced affordable, this is a real possibility since most retail from $20 - $75.

It is a floppy style with a 4-inch brim. It, too, is paper braid which is both chic and practical. It has a self sizing tie to adjust to one's head size and is offered in four color variations....all natural with different trim tipping the brim, including black, tea, turquoise and fuchsia. Each trim is very appealing and will accent many outfits. This style retails for about the same price point as the visor. On top of all its fashion benefits, it carries the UPF Sun protection factor of 50 plus which is just what today's savvy women want as added protection to their daily summer outdoor routine! Another great advantage is its pack ability and recovery. It is light weight and bounces back into shape 1-2-3, therefore it can be easily stored in a beach bag or taken away on vacation. his hat is also ideal to wear at home for a walk and other activities like gardening. Both styles are one size fits all and can be paired with casual wear, beach wear and even accessorize a sundress.
