A visor is the perfect accessory when you’re going non-stop but still want to look your best. Just because you have a lot on your plate doesn’t mean you can’t be stylish while doing it. Try pairing it with a cute outdoorsy jacket or your favorite matching workout set for a fun and sporty vibe.
Taurus: Cloche Hat

A cloche hat will help elevate your looks but not distract from them. Hallmarked by their bell-like shape that fits snuggly against the head and frames the face, cloches first gained popularity thanks to Coco Chanel.
