Whether you’re planning to take a day trip to the nearest beach or jet off to your favorite tropical destination for a whole week, a bag of chic ensembles to wear is a must. And with every chic ensemble should come an accessory that adds personality to your look. Be it a pair of sunglasses or a stack of bracelets, but our favorite way to elevate our summer outfits is to top it off with a stylish hat. Bloggers like Nicole Andersson, Laureen Uy, and Patricia Prieto seem to agree too. Their favorite style? The classic Panama hat. Its wide brim and straw-like material makes it perfect for summer and versatile enough to go with almost any outfit.
If you’re not sure how to style the panama hat, take cues from the most stylish set of bloggers in Manila who have made the piece a vacation must-have.

Match it with another on-trend piece this season just like Nicole Andersson. The off-shoulder top is the perfect way to keep cool this summer.

There are really only two things you need to wear on a boat: your bikini and a panama hat to keep you from squinting during your sunbathing session. Right, Laureen Uy?

If you’re looking for a cozy outfit to wear around the hotel, try a cute tube top and a pair of loose trousers to go with your hat à la Kryz Uy.

We love how Patricia Prieto put an edgy twist to the sundress. Wear it with an equally cool pair of shades to complete your outfit.

Kim Jones can do no wrong when it comes to summer style. We’d grab this whole outfit if we could!

Just like Kim, Mari Jasmine loves to wear denim on the beach. We’d totally wear this outfit in the city too!
