Straw hats and why you need one this spring

There’s no denying that a men’s straw fedora is a timeless fashion accessory, and while some options are made of synthetic materials, our designer selection is carefully crafted of tightly interwoven straw and topped off with a widened brim for added sun protection. Aside from trending popularity year over year, each men’s straw fedora allows gents to stylize their outfits and continue sporting these accessories in the summer months for supplementary ventilation and cooling. 

Why is a men’s straw fedora recommended for sun protection?

While some hats are better than others, it’s the tightness of the weave and the size of the holes that determine which men’s straw fedoras provide the best sun protection. That said, the general rule when shopping for a good straw hat is to hold it up to the light to see how much shines through. It’s always best to get maximum protection for those hotter days, however, you can get away with a different style in the spring when UV rays aren’t as strong.

What other types of straw hats are popular?

Although the men’s straw fedora is our most sought-after choice, there are many other types of styles, including:

• Boater straw hat: This formal hat could be your official headwear for summer. Offering a distinct look with a stiff flat crown and brim, the boater straw hat is iconic and classic and every way. 
• Telescopic baseball straw hat: The perfect crossover between baseball and fedora, the telescopic baseball straw hat offers wearers an opportunity to bridge casual and formal. Plus, it comes in a lot of fun colors! 
• Panama straw hat: Known as the quintessential vacationer’s hat, Panama straw hats offer that tight weave, classic look that embellishes your spring style.
