If you invest in one piece of headgear this summer, make it an Eddie Harrop hat. I first came across the designer at London Fashion Week, presenting as part of the designer collections exhibition and I fell in love with her simple, beautifully constructed hats and bags.

The Trilbys are part of her autumn collection, which will launch online late summer but she has a gorgeous array of Panama hats which are available now, for £160 a piece. View the collection>
