The Australian-based hat brand, Lack of Color, has been adored by celebrities, Instagram girls, and young women in general since the beginning of the brand’s conception. Why? Because their hats are just. that. good. Combining effortless style with true quality, the Lack of Color hats are a favorite around the world, even in my own closet.
