20 Best Straw Hats to Invest in This Summer
When you see a straw hat, you know warm weather is on the horizon. As its delicate weave doesn’t exactly lend itself to the sleet and snow, it’s perfectly preserved at the top of your closet for the duration of the gloomy season, only broken out again once the warmth and promises of poolside weekends and beach vacations return. That doesn’t mean that you should stick to styling your straw hat with a bathing suit.
