Straw hats with flowers for the new woman
The boater with flowers is one of the accessories that we sell with the most enthusiasm at Tocados y Abalorios because of what this piece symbolizes.
A lot of time has passed since Coco Chanel appeared at that racetrack dressed in a boater and a tailored suit, contrasting with the rest of the women and their corseted and plumed garments. All of Paris talked about it; she chose it as a symbol of the new woman.
Since then, the use and category of this piece has varied over time, remaining to this day a daring hat, for all those confident and decisive women. The fact that it was initially used for picnics, country days or summer events, has greatly influenced the ideal protocol for its use as an accessory to be at country weddings or, as they are also known, daytime weddings. The flowers that usually decorate this type of hat add elegance and create affinity between the spring, natural, outdoor environment, as we have already mentioned, and the person who has decided to wear this element, either with a cheerful and colorful model or, failing that, with plain tones.
Despite the protocol, it should be noted that the variety of colors that boaters with flowers can provide and the possibilities they would offer us at a winter event, combining them with dark colors such as bottle green, maroon, navy blue, black, etc.
At Tocados y Abalorios we specialize in straw boaters, which look great combined with our silk flowers. An essential tip to make this piece comfortable is to tie up your hair with a romantic and special hairstyle if we can't use an elastic behind the hair. Another possibility is to combine it with ribbons, as the boater has a very small base, these hold without problem.
In addition, as you know, we facilitate the creativity that each client can give to their accessories with our fascinator courses, we will offer you different ways to give an innovative or classic touch to flower boaters, new ways to reinvent them, for example, with the use of wired tulle structures, printed silk bows or leather pompoms.
It's time to bring back Coco Chanel's defiant spirit, and proudly display the symbol of the new woman that she proposed that day in Paris.
