capeline raffia marguerites
A fun, summery sun hat with a rounded crown and the ribbon made up of blue and white cotton daisies all around the base. This is not a style that takes itself seriously, but it is still practical, both as as sun protection and for travelling, as the raffia is very flexible and can be scrunched up to put in a bag.
It is easier to get someone to take your head measurement than to do it yourself. However, this is how it is done.
Take a tape measure and place one end in the centre of your forehead at around the level where you would like your hat to sit, usually between one and two centimetres above the eye brows. Pass it around your head and back to the middle of your forehead. If there are any bumps make sure these are included.
This should read between 55 and 59 centimetres for most women, and between 56 and 62 centimetres for most men. Add a half centimetre to the reading unless you want the hat to be very tight.
Remember, if it is too tight it may leave a red mark on your forehead.
