Why Boating Hats
It’s a beautiful day. The sun is high in a clear sky, and the calm blue of the water is soothing. It’s early before the hubbub of the day turns cool blue into whitecapped waves. There isn’t a better moment than now to pull on your boating hat and step out onto the deck. It might be a catamaran or a kayak and you could choose a bucket hat or a fisherman’s cap, but the moment is yours no matter how you slice it. Take advantage of this glorious morning before you and venture out into (somewhat) uncharted territory.
There is nothing that screams adventure like a boating hat. Whether it’s a modern style or more of a throwback, you know you’re in a league of your own and not leagues under the sea in the right straw hat or sun hat. Pulling mainsails or punting oars, you’re at your best with the wind at your back and nothing but the horizon ahead of you. Don’t lose sight of what’s coming; add a boating hat to your captain’s outfit and keep your eyes on the prize and the sun from your face.
Though the idea of a boating hat may seem purely nautical, you’d be remiss if you didn’t find an ocean-friendly closet companion for everyday wear. The thing is, hats can serve a sun protection purpose, but they can also serve sartorial notice. When the wind blows quietly across a backyard barbeque or whistles in the tall grass on a weekend picnic, your boating hat can be just the thing you need to really tie everything together. I wouldn’t go far without my boat hat; would you?
No matter the situation, the best boating hat will always be a source of admiration among a crowd. The way the various types of above-deck accessory make the boating hat genre one of incredible variety and impeccable style. You’re sure to be talked about when you walk through the doors in your wide-brimmed wonderment. You’ll feel like the skies will clear and the waves give way when you put on your choice for a boating excursion, whether you intend to release yourself from the mooring or not.
Even if the nearest ocean or river is miles away, you can enjoy the fruits of a well-earned trip to your nearest hat shop (even if it happens to be online). Next time you walk through those doors to make a purchase, feel the heat of a warm ocean breeze and let the wind blow you away. It’s time to set sail, and a boating hat is the perfect accessory for reaching the horizon.
