Balearic hat

The Balearic hat is a cream-colored straw hat with rainbow tie-dye spirals on a wide brim. It is made for women who want to wear a sunny, colorful hat at a luau. A lightly braided cord runs around the crown, ending on the side in a bow with long, loose ends.

Crown, brim and cord of the straw hat

• The hat is made of 100% cellulose.
• The crown is solid cream, with braided bands running around it that are clearly visible up close.
• Large spirals in red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, and purple run through each other on the wide brim.
• A cream braided cord finishes the crown and ends in a bow with long ends.
• The style is intended for women.
• The hat is not washable.

Unlike a fully multicolored straw hat, this style only carries the color on the brim, keeping the crown simple. Choose it if you want color around your face without a fully multicolored hat.

Where do the tie-dye spirals on this straw hat come from?

Tie-dye spirals come from a dyeing technique in which fabric is twisted or tied before it goes into the dye, creating circles and streaks in bright colors. The pattern is best known from hippie fashion and has since come to represent a cheerful, carefree summer look. On the Balearic hat, that pattern is on a classic straw hat, and that combination of straw and rainbow colors matches the tropical beach feel of a luau.

How to wear the tie-dye straw hat at a luau

A solid top in yellow, white, or cream lets the colored brim do most of the work, while a multicolored floral print next to it can quickly become too busy. Wear the hat slightly back on your head, so that the tie-dye brim remains visible around your face and the bow hangs on the side along your hair. A flower lei around your neck and a pair of sandals complete the beach look for a luau in style.

Order the Balearic hat and you will walk into the next luau with a brim full of rainbow colors.
