While the vote's in (check the poll on the screen to your right) and most of you will be topping off your warm-weather styles with fedoras this summer, check out Madewell's Panama Hat.

It's definitely an indicator that summer is in high season, and this hat offers maximum coverage. It's more dramatic than the fedora, less daunting than the full-brimmed sun hat.

Made in Ecuador - funny, right? - Panama hats are definitely classic toppers that you'll keep as accessories for years to come. Available at J.Crew's sister store, Madewell.

It's certainly not a Nicole-Richie-MK-Olsen-Bret-Michaels-inspired headband, but there's definite appeal in Tasha's rose bow headband.

Found in Nordstrom's wedding shop, the satin-covered accoutrement features pearl-like beads and an exaggerated - 2.5-inches x 5-inches - chiffon bow with molded floral blooms. The band itself measures 1-inch thick, a width which is appropriate to complement any hairstyle. Lined in suede, it's sure to stay in place - whatever the occasion.

Can we talk just for a second about how absolutely adorable this Sonia Rykiel Swarovski crystal headband is?

I'm a huge fan of Rykiel's cashmere-blend sweaters and knit dresses, and this headband is a soirée-worthy accoutrement by the "Queen of Knits".

For those of you still searching for a fabulous hat to don at this year's Kentucky Derby, might I suggest investing in this piece? It's elegant and eye-catching, and it won't weigh you down in Southern sun.

Wear with your hair curly or straight, up or down, and you'll look absolutely darling. Add some red lipstick if you want to go ultra-glam.

Leave it to me to start thinking of summer during the first days of spring (when it's still snowing, no less)!

I'm scooping up this classic fedora by bebe to protect my alabaster skin from sun this summer.

Classic chic, this is one hat that will never go out of style. Made of straw, it's fairly low maintenance and can be washed by hand. It's got a triple-pleated band, an asymmetrical brim, and woven texture for breathing room. The brim flips any-which-way, which makes this hat very versatile.
