What Type of Straw Hat is best?

Trying to find straw hats for women?
Are you also looking to find straw as well as straw hats for girls?
A little theory: the shape of a hat often defines both its use and wearer more than style or cost. We all know that we can wear practically anything on our head and look good (well, okay–that’s not always true…) but the day-to-day function is more important than glamour alone. The straight up and down silhouette of a cloche, for example, makes it practical in cold weather; while the broad-brimmed shape of a sunhat protects the wearer from the sun and makes it practical in warm weather. A straw summer hat tends to be large and round and floppy–and that’s because straw hats for women need practicality.
How so?
Straw is a natural fiber, harvested from plants such as rice, wheat, ryegrasses, bamboos and sorghum. It’s very light in weight; which creates airiness when we’re hot but can also make us feel less protected when we’re cold! The natural structure of straw has a bend in it: it warps in an arc when you twist two strands together (click here to see how) This straw hat as well as the straw hat has a natural curve to it, and bends over itself when joined. A wide brim can be floppy and a little annoying, but the arc of the brim is important–it’s what helps keep rain off your face or allows you to enjoy a cooling breeze if you’re not caught in stormy weather.
What else do I need to know?
The diameter of the crown will also affect how practical your straw summer hat actually is! A large circumference makes for an enormous floppy hat that gets knocked out of place by even gentle breezes; while a slim brimmed hat has its own problems because it doesn’t offer much protection from sunshine, rain or dust.
Whether you’re heading for the beach, doing some shopping or just simply want to look stylish in the sun, straw hats are a great way to protect your face from harmful UV rays. But what do you need to consider before making your purchase?
