Toronto’s winters may be ruled by the toque, but summer’s headwear options are far more exciting. (That said, they don’t have to be this extravagant.) This season, it’s all about the bowler, bucket and wide-brimmed varieties. Whether you want to channel a glam St. Tropez vibe or a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas look, here are 12 sun hats to keep your head cool and your look hot. (A bonus?
