Top Off Your French-Chic Style With a Straw Hat

If there’s anyone’s fashion sense we covet, it’s the French. Looking to capture that je ne sais quoi in your look? Top off your ensemble with a straw hat.

You don’t need the Eiffel Tower as your backdrop to wear your straw hat, but injecting some Parisian flair wouldn’t hurt to spruce up an accessory that’s usually meant for the beach. Take a hint from the French, and you’ll have their style down at the drop of a hat.

Pleated Skirt + Crop Top

Imagine yourself strolling along the Seine in a pleated midi skirt and boxy crop top. The view is scenic, but something’s not right. Fill in the missing puzzle piece of your ensemble with a floppy hat that will shield you from the sun’s rays. Go for one with stripes and colorblocking for a distinct accessory that’s equally stylish and practical.

Sheath Dress + Ankle Boot

If there’s anything the French are masters of, it’s the art of juxtaposition. An ensemble comprised of a neutral sheath and zippered suede boots is begging for an embellished accessory for accompaniment. Opt for a straw hat with feathers or a bow for a pop of color and a visual element to a head-to-toe ensemble of neutrals.

High-Waisted Pants + Button Down Shirt

Make Coco Chanel proud and top off an androgynous ensemble with a straw hat that pays tribute to Mademoiselle Chanel’s favorite hues: black and white. Tuck in a button-down shirt into high-waisted pants black as night and sport a hat that satisfies your preferences. Go oversized for a dramatic effect or opt for a hat with a dainty bow for subtlety.

We’ll give our hat’s off to the French for their stylish ways. Play the role of a polished Parisian and use your straw hat as the ultimate accessory.
