Maybe we all still have "Pirates of the Caribbean" fever. Maybe being near the ocean speaks to a need for big hats. Either way, the Chanel Cruise Collection for 2010 was beautiful--and full of pirate hats!
Leave it to Karl Lagerfeld and the Chanel brand to take pirate clothing and make it look beautiful. In all black, the models looked great in their giant Johnny Depp-esque hats.
This may be a hard look to wear in the real world, but Chanel made it look just right.
