For a luxury hat that will pair well with your most stylish swimwear, Carne suggests the designer Eugenia Kim. The contemporary brand offers “hats for all the seasons,” she says, including summery styles with high UPF ratings. The Mirabel sun hat is woven from natural straw, and offers a neutral yet eye-catching look, thanks to its ombre design. Looking for a pop of color?
