Bought this as a gift for my mom and she loved it. She likes going to the beach but hates the sun and always wears sun hats to keep her face in the shade. Unfortunately, she is not about making purchases for the style but for the practicality and had bought a sequence of ugly sun hats and so I decided to break the curse and get her this practical and stylish sun hat. It's brim blocks the sun from her entire face and the bow/sash around the top is a nice touch to the basic straw hat and makes it very elegant looking. At this price point and quality there are not many other options and definitely none better than this!
