It’s Officially Straw Hat Season (!!!)

Though myriad hats have promised to pervade the zeitgeist this year, none have managed to threaten the majestic straw hat‘s reign. Because straw hats aren’t simply accessories. They are moments. They are moods. They transcend the realm of style—at times, feeling more emotional than anything else.

I say this, because wearing a straw hat is a real commitment. Whereas bucket hats, berets and baseball caps are structurally understated, straw hats demand attention. They’re often wide-brimmed and physically expansive. Their immense surface area catches the wind in a way few other accessories do. And sometimes, they’re so damn large that they limit your peripheral vision. So not only are you bumping into people every time you’re in a crowd—you’re also clinging to your hat for dear life every time you’re walking around outside (or even sitting, if it’s windy), and struggling to just see what’s around you. 

Straw hats are, by every practical measure, inadvisable, yet they’re so damn stunning we can’t bear to part with them. Even when we’re going somewhere crowded. Even when it’s breezy out. Even when we just want to see things. Our collective infatuation with straw hats is nothing short of irrational, romantic, idealistic. We see in straw hats the sartorial stars we want to be—the sartorial stars we know we are on our best days.

We are that woman breathing in an idyllic seascape while clad in a glamorous caftan and a truly glorious wide-brimmed straw hat. Just as we’re the woman indulging in a veritably stunning picnic spread, adorned in a fluffy gingham sundress and a straw visor. And the woman exploring new frontiers in a vacation ensemble no one could possibly fit into a single suitcase. Straw hats are undeniably extra, but they offer us access to our wildest fashion fantasies. And really, don’t the straw hat‘s setbacks seem like minor inconveniences when compared to that?
