The boater makes a welcome comeback as a hot accessory option for women because of new shapes and detailing. The Boater hat is a trans-seasonal hat which ties in perfectly with a nautical inspired wool outfit, and the classic look and style the boater projects is perfect for the races.
I wanted to look at the summer straw boater hats for inspiration but the main source of inspiration will be the felt or wool boater which were both seen in the Marc Jacobs and Chanel Autumn/ Winter 2009/2010 runway shows.
