Women's Vintage Straw Hat Wide Flat Brim Straw Hat Derby Beach Hat Sun Hat with Chin Strap Brim: 12cm Beige

I bought this hat on a whim, but I have used it a TON since it came in last summer. I garden and spend a lot of time outside all summer, so keeping cool and protecting myself from the sun is important. I'm not usually a hat person, so I feel silly wearing it sometimes, but I have received SO many compliments - especially when I wear it to the pool. I most recently packed it for a beach resort vacation, so glad I brought it! It is nice and light-weight, and held up really well in the suitcase. It isn't too big, but enough to provide a good amount of shade on my face, neck, and shoulders. The ribbon adds a nice touch and helps keep it on even in the breeze.

So many compliments every time I wear it! I also once used it to gracefully hide a horrible allergic reaction I had to a setting spray so I could attend church and not be a major distraction! Very pretty and fancy! Good sun protection!

The hat is too big around to stay on my small head, even when I ty the ribbons. The straw also pulls my hair. I would have returned it, except I sort of lost it in my house for a bit. Now it's too late so I use it as decor.

The hat was folded into thirds for shipping and the straw has been creased. I will have to carefully steam or iron the hat back to a flat shape. Otherwise, the hat looks nice.

Cute but not deep enough to fit on head. It's decor now
