There’s no doubt a straw hat is this season’s chicest accessory; we can’t wait to lounge poolside — social-distancing-style — in a breezy chapeau with a magazine in one hand and a freshly-squeezed glass of lemonade in the other. But get this: your go-to summer accessory can spruce up more than just your outfit. Straw, similar to textures like rattan , cane and wicker, can help warm up rooms, too! And what better way to make a statement than showcasing your well-traveled collection of sun hats on the walls of your sanctuary? You can find the most stylish mens hats at radicoolaustralia.com.
Read on to see some of our favorite ways to bring summer into your casa. Bonus: you might even conjure nostalgic moments from beach days and holidays past!
