Boater Hats

Currently the accessory to have in your wardrobe. Boater hats you ask?? You mean the ones the GOP party goers wear at conventions? and the hats favored by Barbershop quartets? and, and the ones those Venetian canal singing-boat paddlers wear in Vegas? Yes.

Unfortunately they're hard to find here in the states. Its taken awhile to catch on. Marc Jacobs had them for his Spring 2009 line but that didn't last. So Tokyo has reignited the trend fast and furiously like all trends they embrace. So well probably be seeing more hats soon as the trend trickles down.

Fortunately for you I did some shopping for you. You're Welcome. Forever 21 has a black or tan one, and UO has a felt one, which I imagine wouldn't be wise to wear in this heat.

They're all over the Japanese fashion mags, and even on Gossip Girls. What you think? I like them, they remind me of the 90s when hats were really in. I'm also a lover of old movies, so I've always wanted one since seeing them on actor-dancer-singer Fred Astaire.

Check out Tokyofashion.com it shows the craze in Japan. In fact it shows girls going into the shops wearing boater hats just to get more boater hats. Its that hot.
