Amal Clooney's La Dolce Vita summer continues. This time, the human rights lawyer strolled through the streets of Italy in the perfect beach day outfit: a pair of green and turquoise Missoni shorts in the brand's distinctive chevron, and an aqua long-sleeve with a sheer lace panel across her décolletage and forearms. She also wore a pair of tan sandals and carried a black leather tote. And, in a moment of fashion-meets-function, she shielded her head from the unforgiving rays with a large floppy tan sunhat which she wore just the other week.

While sunhats brew strong opinions, Clooney is something of an aficionado. On a recent family outing on Lake Como, she sported a woven iteration—which she paired with a divisive cork wedge. Clearly a fan of a dramatic hat, Clooney wore a creme-colored Stella McCartney hat with a black ribbon encircling the base (which she coordinated with her sleek pantsuit) to her civil wedding to husband George in 2014. Talk about dedication—to marriage and sun protection.

A sunhat like Clooney's paired with a more casual ensemble is a foolproof formula for your next trip to the beach. With her tiny shorts and lightweight top, she's able to stay cool, while her long sleeves and oversized hat protect her from the sun. Slather on the SPF and you're good to go.
