Straw hats are made of lightweight natural straw and usually have wide brims for better sun protection. The straws are submerged in half water until they soften and then hand-formed to the desired shape over a solid block. Straw hats were traditionally used by Southeast Asian farmers to protect themselves from the heat of the sun, but they have now evolved into fashion accessories as well.
Sweatbands: Choose a straw hat with an inner sweatband made of genuine or faux leather to prevent sweat from trickling down your eyes and face.
Brim size: Choose a straw hat with a small brim size for aesthetic purposes. For actual sun protection, look for a wide-brimmed straw hat to shade your face and neck.
