Faye Dunaway. Marianne Faithfull. Bridgit Bardot. The Boho Hat had its day on the heads of these beauties in the 1970s…this summer it’s back.

You Wear Your Hat”
By Patricia Underwood
Headlining summer collections by J.Crew and Wallaroo — even Canadian traditionalist Tilley Hats is trying one on — the Boho Hat is wide-brimmed and beguiling. Appearing in simple brown or fresh, summery colours, the Boho—a.k.a. the Floppy or the Swinger—is featured in straw, crochet, or crafted from a felt so soft it’s supple.
The Boho hat’s ample brim can be adjusted any which way, which is ideal for shading eyes, face, and shoulders from the sting of the Muskoka sun. A bonus: the brim can be tipped to frame your face oh-so-coyly.
In the words of New York milliner Patricia Underwood — maker of the floppy hat Nicole Kidman famously wore in Vanity Fair Italia:
“Men notice women who wear hats.”
