The natural-colored Hawaiian straw hat is a woven palm-leaf hat with a wide brim that ends in loose, frayed strands. Put it on for a beach party or luau, where that untamed brim immediately brings to mind the beach and islands. It is also a great fit for a country fair, and it is designed for both women and men.

How does a frayed brim give this straw hat its Hawaiian look?
A straw hat with loose, protruding ends looks deliberately unfinished, and that is exactly what connects it to beach huts, thatched parasols, and island holidays. A straw hat with a neatly finished brim looks more like a polished hat for a classic look. Choose this frayed style if you want your outfit to suggest the beach and the tropics from afar. The same rugged weaving also makes it suitable as a country hat, because straw and a messy brim belong in the countryside.
Styling tips for a beach party, luau, or country fair
For a beach party or luau, wear the straw hat slightly further back on your head, so the fringes fall around your face. Pair it with a flower lei and a colorful Hawaiian shirt, because bright colors stand out against the light natural color of the palm leaf. At a country fair, complete the same woven hat with a checkered blouse, overalls, or a red bandana around your neck. This way, you can use one hat for two very different celebrations throughout the year.
Order the natural Hawaiian straw hat and walk into the beach party with the beach already on your head.
