Hats made of woven natural materials, or more simply straw hats, are again at the peak of popularity. The weightless and easy-to-use accessory has moved into the category of “mast-hevs, ” which must be in the wardrobe of every fashionable woman who respects herself. In addition to the fact that the straw hat fulfills its main purpose - it protects from the sun, it also gives extraordinary charm, style and emphasizes the impeccable taste of its owner.
Popular types of straw hats
The most fashionable accessory of the coming summer is nothing more than a headdress, consisting of flat straw braids folded and sewn together with strong threads in a spiral. There are a large number of models of straw hats, however, in the current 2019 year, you need to pay attention to only a few favorites:
Boater
The boater hat has small margins and a cylindrical tulle. This is a very convenient model, which perfectly protects from direct sunlight without causing any inconvenience to wear. Previously, boaters were exclusively a men's accessory; for women, they opened in the late 90s of the last millennium thanks to the unchanging icon of Coco Chanel style. Thanks to her, women realized that it was easier to find than a straw boater - a hat that did its job so well.
Fedora
The model of Fedor's headdress is distinguished by the presence of dents under the fingers on the tulle. She, like the boater, used to be exclusively male models of hats, but as practice shows, Fedor’s hat looks stylish and attractive on beautiful female heads. Women can wear Fedora of any age. For those who want to create a playful and romantic look, just slide the hat to the side. Women who are accustomed to subduing everyone at first sight will like to wear straw Fedor a little more by moving her on her forehead.
Cowboy
The freedom-loving cowboy style is back in trend, which proves the return to fashion of flared trousers, checked print shirts and, of course, cowboy straw hats. Those who prefer a cowboy boater or Fedor, need to be prepared for the fact that all the eyes of passers-by will be riveted precisely to the original accessory. Straw cowboys look good with sundresses, denim dresses and jumpsuits, but do not fit a swimsuit a bit. However, if the bathing suit is designed in the general style of freedom-loving cowboys and is complemented by some "chips" characteristic of the style, such a hat will be more appropriate than ever.
Panama
The familiar panama hat, which is most often sewn from fabric, can also be made from straw. Such a model is convenient in that it can be easily rolled up and put in a bag without fear that the headpiece will be remembered or worse. Panama suits almost any “bow” and “style”.
Interesting! Fashion also took care of the children. For little fashionistas, you can buy a small deep straw hat with mouse or cat ears. Besides the fact that the accessory will protect the child from the sun, it will also add cheerful personality and style.
How to pick up a straw hat
So that the accessory does not become a personal fashion failure, when buying a model you like, you need to take into account the features of your appearance and remember the tips of experienced stylists:
- Wide-brimmed cowboys and beach hats are only suitable for tall and bulky women. For girls who can’t boast tall, such models are banned.
- It is better to refuse to wear hats with a convex and voluminous head for girls with a miniature and thin face. For them, models with a flatter head are suitable.
- Those with a round face are more likely to have accessories with curved up fields and options with rich and elaborate finishes.
Attention should be paid to the color of the straw hat:
- blondes from brown straw will do well for blondes;
- brunettes and brown-haired women can wear hats of golden yellow shades;
- red-haired girls should give preference to products of cold beige and sand tones.
Important! Buying a straw hat without trying is risky. In addition to things that are not suitable in form and style, you can buy an accessory that does not fit in size. The correct and suitable headgear should not fly off the head at the slightest movement, but there should be no red stripes on the skin of the forehead after its removal.
What to wear with a straw hat
In most cases, the accessory is matched to clothes, and not vice versa. But if the straw hat accessory is considered a trend - “top” and “bottom” are selected just taking into account its primacy in the image. Original and at the same time appropriate, a summer straw hat will look together with:
- Blue denim. Sky blue denim items are a great addition to a straw boater or Fedor. In this outfit, you can go for a walk with friends or go on a romantic date. Gladiator sandals or clogs with an open heel can be worn on your feet.
- White linen. Dresses, tunics and suits made of snow-white linen fabric are the most comfortable clothes for a hot summer. Flax perfectly passes moisture without creating a greenhouse effect on the skin. From a linen sundress to the floor and a small straw panama hat, you can get an image worthy of the best beaches on the planet.
- Pink suit. Although summer is the time for vacations, nobody canceled the work. There is no need to deny yourself the pleasure of wearing a straw hat after a vacation, because a neat boater will look great together with a pink strict trouser suit. Such a “bow” will become a real fashion bomb of the office dress code.
- Light green cotton. A cotton dress on the floor with open shoulders made of weightless and comfortable cotton will be a favorite item of clothing for every girl. If you put it on with a wide-brimmed straw hat, which will be decorated with a ribbon in tone - the envious glances of the passing girls to the owner of such an outfit are provided.
- Black stretch. In the summer, rainy days sometimes happen, in which one wants to put on your favorite black elastic stretch skinny skin. In a tandem with a white T-shirt on thin straps and a red-checked shirt, a straw Fedora will look very, very appropriate.
So that over time, the straw hat does not lose its presentable appearance, it must be carefully looked after. It must not be hung on a hook in the cabinet and cleaned with conventional means. Storage should be carried out in a separate fabric cover, and in order to remove dust from the outside it will be enough to wipe the hat with a soft damp cloth.
