After returning from some R&R in Cancun, I realized I am missing a key element in my beach vacay repertoire – stylish headwear!

We all know about the baseball cap — which has gotten more airtime and video play than is appropriate. They are used to cover up bad hair days and receding hairlines, to complete outfits and ensure perfect matching, and to denote where you’re from or with whom you are affiliated.
