The birds are chirping, the forest animals are copulating, and the bees are disappearing. Spring is officially in the air.

To commemorate the beginning of a new season, break out a distinctly spring trend: a wide brim straw hat. Whether you’re gardening outside or spending the day in, a straw hat is sure to spruce up your outfit and add a hint of whimsy to your everyday life.

Not a fan of hats in general? Not to worry: All straw hats featured below are affordable, stylish, and guaranteed to be a perfect fit. (But if they aren’t, make sure to look up the store’s return policy before checking out.)

Harking back to ’50s sophistication and the glory of Technicolor cinema, the Grace Kelly sun hat is one that your grandmother might have worn, but adapts seamlessly to the trends of the mid-’10s. Like movie-siren-turned-princess-of-Monaco Grace Kelly, this ensemble is timeless and beautiful.

2. The Samantha Jones

Products: Hat – Forever 21 | Dress – Nordstrom Rack | Clutch – T.J. Maxx | Lipstick – Kohl’s | Earring – Anthropologie | Heels – Charlotte Russe | Bra – Victoria’s Secret

Styled after TV’s first “try-sexual,” Samantha Jones, this straw hat from Forever 21 is edgy, confident, and filled to the brim (pun intended) with sex appeal. Though you don’t necessarily have to flaunt your sexuality as much as Samantha does in SATC to rock the look, we imagine it wouldn’t hurt to take a page from her no doubt impressive little black book.

3. The Plain Jane
