Accessory = Fashionable + Practical

Which accessory is both fashionable and practical? That’s right, the hat! From Marc Jacobs Resort 2011 collection to Ayumi Hamasaki’s magazine cover on VIVI magazine, one of the biggest accessory trend for spring/summer is the straw hat. The most popular style in Japan being the straw “boater” which is a straw hat with a stiff/soft flat crown and brim typically with a ribbon or other adornment around the crown.

Other variations on the straw “boater” includes fedoras, bowlers, and large beach hats. All with ribbon or flowers adorning them, of course!
