Zuri SmithSummer is here, and with the temps rising, now is the ideal moment to wear straw hats, a timeless piece of clothing that keeps you cool while also adding a dash of elegance. Crafted from organic materials such as palm, raffia, or straw, these airy and lightweight marvels are ideal for sunny days.
Why Go With Straw Hats?
Sun Protection: A straw hat provides good protection from the sun. With these broad brims, they provide portable shade for all of your summertime activities while protecting your face, neck, and ears from damaging UV radiation.
Diversity of Styles: There is a straw hat from Hats in the Belfry to suit every style, ranging from boaters to fedoras. Let’s investigate which one works best for you:
Fedoras: Go for a fedora if you’re a classic trendsetter. Sophistication is radiated by its gently downturned brim and pinched crown. For a timeless style, wear it with chinos and a crisp linen shirt.
Hats with a fine weave and larger brims: Panama hats are elegant and add style. For an Ivy League look, pair them with khaki shorts and a striped polo shirt or a seersucker suit.
broad-Brimmed Beauties: Choose straw hats with a broad brim for a carefree, laid-back look. These hats, whether they are made of straw or raffia, quickly add a carefree vibe. Pair one with a linen button-down shirt, rolled-up chinos, and sandals for the perfect summer ensemble.
How to Pick the Ideal Straw Hat Taking Your Face Shape Into Account:
- Round Face: Boaters or fedoras with straighter brims and pinched crowns look good on people.
- Oval Face: You’re very lucky! Most designs of straw hats fit oval faces well.
- Square Faced: Choose hats like Panama hats or floppy hats that have rounded crowns and wider brims.
- Heart-Shaped Face: Pork pie hats or fedoras with a small downward slant on the brim are perfect.
- Oblong Face: Use hats like fedoras or gambler hats, which have broader brims and shorter crowns, to balance proportions.
How to Take Care of Your Straw Hat?
Maintaining Your Straw Hat’s Quality:
A quick steam can revive Hat Care. For a few seconds, hold the hat over a steamer (a kettle would do!) and then gently reshape it with your hands. For the new form to take hold, let it cool fully.
For minor creases, a low-heat hairdryer can do the trick—just be careful not to overheat the straw.
Remember, your straw hat isn’t just an accessory; it’s your summer companion. Find the one that reflects your true character and enjoy the sunny days ahead!
