The red-banded farmer's daughter straw hat is a woven women's straw hat with a wide brim and a red-and-white checkered ribbon around the crown.
You wear it slightly tilted on your head, so the two loose ends of the ribbon fall down beside your ear and shoulder. The hat is designed for women and makes a farmer's look instantly recognizable during Carnival or at a farmer's wedding.

The straw hat as a symbol of farm life
A wide-brimmed straw hat was once part of working in the fields, where it protected the face from the sun. We know red-and-white checkered fabric from aprons, handkerchiefs, and tablecloths from that same farming world, and therefore this ribbon immediately reads as a farmer's. In the south of the country, the farmer's wedding is a long-standing Carnival tradition, with a bride and groom and guests dressing up as farmers.
Wearing tips for the parade and the farmer's wedding
During the parade, the hat stands out most over a white blouse with puff sleeves and a black bodice, because the red of the ribbon then stands out from the rest. Repeat the check with a checkered apron or handkerchief, then your outfit will hang together as one whole. For an indoor farmer's wedding, you can place the hat a bit further back, so that your face remains visible. Curls or braids under the brim complete the farmer's look.
Choose this straw hat, because your farmer's look for Carnival or the farmer's wedding starts with a recognizable checkered ribbon.
