Evoking a touch of rustic nostalgia while exuding contemporary flair, these iconic accessories have become a staple for those seeking a blend of sophistication and casual comfort. Join us as we explore the allure and timeless appeal of these gorgeous country summer hats.
The Evolution of Straw Fedora Hats:
The origins of the fedora can be traced back to the late 19th century, where it gained popularity as a practical and stylish accessory for both men and women. The hat's versatility and ability to complement various fashion styles led to its timeless appeal. As fashion evolved, so did the fedora hat. While classic styles in wool and felt remain beloved, the summer straw fedora emerged as a seasonal favourite, perfect for embracing the warmer months with ease. Featured below are our Cream Dovecote Summer Fedora and our Pink Kingscote Summer Fedora Hat. Both have charming feather brooches. The Dovecote is also available in Navy and Natural.
Embracing the Countryside Aesthetic:
Country living has long been associated with simplicity, authenticity, and a connection to nature. The straw fedora hat with its breathable and lightweight material embodies the essence of countryside living. Its wide brim offers protection from the sun, making it a functional choice for outdoor adventures, be it picnics, garden parties, or leisurely strolls through blooming meadows.

The Elegance of Feather Brooches:
Feathers have held symbolic significance throughout history, often representing freedom, spirituality, and a connection to nature. Incorporating a feather brooch into the design of a summer straw fedora hat adds an air of sophistication and whimsical charm like our Kingscote Summer Fedora below. The delicate arrangement of feathers creates a visually striking accent that draws attention to the hat's unique design.
Versatility and Styling Tips:
One of the most attractive features of the summer straw fedora with a feather brooch is its versatility. These hats effortlessly complement a wide array of outfits, making them a must-have accessory for any fashion-forward individual. For a classic countryside look, pair the hat with a flowing floral sundress or light linen shirt and denim shorts. Enhance your casual ensemble with a touch of elegance by adding one of these styles to your wardrobe.
Choosing the Perfect Hat:
When selecting a summer straw fedora with a feather brooch, consider the hat's shape and size to complement your facial features. The brim should provide adequate coverage without overwhelming your face, and the crown should sit comfortably just above your ears. The traditional way is to wear hats horizontally but in more recent times, hats are often worn more tilted. Explore various feather brooch designs, such as vibrant peacock feathers (like our Turkdean Fedora below), earthy pheasant feathers, or soft and delicate ostrich feathers, to find the one that resonates with your personal style. If you wish to change the brooch, please browse our feather brooches here and advise us which brooch you would like to change it for.
For a smaller hat, consider a Trilby Hat with a Feather Brooch too like our Tetbury Summer Trilby Hat below.
Caring for Your Hat:
To ensure your cherished summer straw fedora with a feather brooch stands the test of time, proper care is essential. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use, and avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or direct sunlight. Use a soft bristle brush to gently remove any dust, and if necessary, lightly dampen a clean cloth to spot clean any stains.
In summary:
Country summer straw fedora hats with feather brooches encapsulate the essence of countryside living while providing a touch of elegance and contemporary flair. As you don this iconic accessory, let it be a reminder of the simple joys of life and the timelessness of fashion. So, embrace the countryside chic and let the summer breeze carry you to a world of effortless style and rustic charm.
