Spring into Hats 2012

After having some fun with my new cowboy hat from last week's Houston Rodeo post, I started looking at what's new in hats for spring.  There really are a variety of available options.  I was never much of a "hat person" until this past winter, and then became a bigger fan when I received a black cloche for a Christmas gift...love :)  Now my curiosity has the best of me...

Here are a few looks from the Spring 2012 runway collections:

Armani

DSquared2

DKNY

Blumarine

Dior

Marc Jacobs

Ralph Lauren

Milly

Whit

Which style is your favorite?  I'm a fedora fan! I'm also a fan of the floppy style, but I feel that it is somewhat difficult to pull off with my petite body type.  Maybe I will try one with a narrower brim.  Here are some of my in-store picks:
