Rubens one of the most well known painters from all times, not only had a good taste in art matters but also in women and fashion.

Women in those days, for the first time in hundreds of years again, started wearing some of the trends men wearing as well, what we know today as cross-gendering. This women worn their hats, and as the fashion evolved the masculine hats grew bigger in size and in accessories, and this accessory became unisex.

The designers this spring summer have come to the same conclusion, hats are in, and if they are huge they will make a more noticeable impact, so... why no?

I love this huge hat, though is an exaggeration in comparison with other, this hat might be very useful at the beach for those who show concern and want to keep their skin away from the sun.
cover your head, and have fun!
