I love women's hats. Not on me, I hasten to add, but summer straw hats and sun visors for women are spectacular when placed anywhere near a woman, (but especially on her head); in fact, they're nearly as perfect as the women who wear the straw cowboy hats and broad brimmed sunhats. Not only are raffia chapeaus and sun-visors practical (as protection from damaging sun exposure), they're earth-friendly and comfortably lightweight. Plus they're never ever boring--and you can mix-n-match them with the best raffia totes and handbags in the business (hint: these would be of Helen Kaminski fame). Hat styles in straw run from the casual crocheted Sun Up and crushable lite-line Balmy Palm raffia (with a really cute palm tree design trim) to the 'be-still-my-heart' Borsalino panama, The Andrea, in a class entirely of its own. For a completely different look, there's the two-tone Abby Western Hat from Scala, a dressy cowboy straw hat with rose appliques: it's fancy, fun, and speaks volumes about the wearer. Same goes for that unisex Runaway Cowboy Hat, a toyo twist on the classic western.

If you're a lady who uses her perogative and changes her mind, might I suggest The Adina Sun Hat in sophisticated casual. The sun-shielding brim is pure Irish Linen in color Pumice, and the crown (in Natural) is cool and lightweight in raffia crochet. Use the raffia string (tied at back) to adjust for a comfortable fit. Probably my all-time favorite large brim women's sun hat from Helen Kaminski is The August, that divine raffia braid and silk sateen creation. It's truly another handcrafted miracle of a topper, using (as she does) only the natural fibers of silk and leaves of the raffia palm tree (harvested ecologically so that the tree is unharmed). The crown is swathed in an Off-White silk sateen ribbon, gently tied at back, and the large shapeable brim is perfect in Natural.
Ah, ladies in hats! There's simply no finer sight in this world.
