The Quiet Life Pre-Spring 2013 'Au Natural' pack is a series of [graphic caps and bucket hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-and-new-era). The collection is playful and cheeky.

The 'Au Natural' collection consists of merchandise adorned with a vivacious outdoorsy print of a group of [bikini-clad pin-ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection). The pattern is colorful, features scenes of greenery and is a fun twist on a [tropical hat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sakura-pack). These hats are the perfect bold accessory to add to a plain outfit or pair it with another wild print and show off your comical and flirtatious side. The pack is unisex and there will only be a limited number of each version released.

The Quiet Life Pre-Spring 2013 'Au Natural' pack is lighthearted, humorous and anyone can sport them.
