Our NYC Stylists have had their ear to the ground hunting down this Summers must have items. This week, they give us the low down on a tried and tested favourite - the trilby. By this time, we think it’s fair to say that we’ve all had our fair share of sun this summer (maybe in New York! - Ed) Sure, the idea of lying out in the sun, under a beach umbrella sounds like the perfect way to cool off, but we’ve found the perfect way to accessorize, without having to scurry around to find some shady shelter. Beat the heat wave by getting some great headgear that will add a nice, dapper touch to any look - without having to break a sweat. This season’s must-have? The trilby. They’re made of straw, and their lightweight design makes it easy to spruce up any outfit. Look smart by sporting one in any casual attire, or ditch the tie, and pair it with your favorite summer suit.
Luckily, GQ.com has created a ‘foolproof guide’ on how to dress for the dressiest of occasions – the summer wedding. Click here to browse through their selection of sweat-proof, lightweight pieces – from the more casual, to the most formal ceremony. And don’t forget to check out our great selection of trilbies available online here, charmingly adorned with a wide variety of decorative bands.

TimeOut New York have supplied a list of 20 things to do in New York City to beat the heat and keep yourself thoroughly entertained at the same time. Check out our Top 3 below and don't forget to head on over to their site for all the activities!
1. Go ice-skating
Yes, we wish it were December and New York had become a winter wonderland too, but you can still ice-skate at the World Ice Arena. Put some of your winter wardrobe in a bag and work on your triple axel. Flushing Meadows Corona Park, enter park from Shea Stadium–Willets Point Station overpass (718-760-9001, worldice.com). Summer public skating Mon–Thu noon–5:15pm; Fri noon–5:15pm, 7–9:50pm; Sat noon–4:45pm, 8–9:50pm; Sun noon–4:45pm. Weekdays $5, weekends $8; skate rental $5.
2. Splash around in a public pool
Despite a handful of closures and a delayed opening, the city’s 54 outdoor public pools are now open until September 6. We’ve rounded up the top ten swimming pools, depending on which mood you’re in, but if you’re feeling frisky, New Yorker Julio Rivera nominated the Lasker Central Park Pool (Enter at 110th St and Lenox Ave; 212-534-7639, nycgovparks.org) for TONY’s 50 warm-weather pickup spots.
3. Pay to have a bucket of ice water dumped on you
You think we’re crazy now—read on. As if you’re not hot enough already, we’re going to recommend the Platza treatment at Body by Brooklyn (275 Park Ave at Washington Ave, Clinton Hill, Brooklyn; 718-923-9400, bodybybrooklyn.com; 15mins; $44), which involves lying in a 205-degree Russian river-rock sauna and being flagellated with two wide, flat oak-leaf brooms. Your reward for this pain? Sitting with your feet in the plunge pool and having a large bucket of ice water dumped on you. It’s invigorating to say the least, and access to the spa is included in the price so you can hurl yourself in the plunge pool whenever the urge takes you.
Happy reading!
