The Vintage Hat Series: 1950s navy straw saucer hat, covered with pleated gingham and trimmed with red velvet ribbon

Out of all the styles of hats the 1950s brought us, the saucer hat is my favourite shape. Flat as a pancake, it perches atop the head and creates such an elegant silhouette.

This dishy little number from Etsy store Susie Q’s Vintage Shop, is made from navy blue straw, covered with pleated gingham and trimmed with a narrow red velvet ribbon. The gingham makes me think of Gidget, which makes it perfect for the beach. It looks just as cute paired with a polka-dot vintage 80s blouse.
