Straw hat Niçois

Both the Nice hat and the hat are headwear that both have very wide edges.
This makes them perfect accessories for sun protection and gives a romantic touch to any outfit.
The hat has a difference compared to the Nice hat; it is very flat and made of straw and especially without a cap.

The hat can be made of straw, leather, fabric... an often soft material that makes its edges wavy. Another difference is that the Nice hat has a ribbon tied under the chin to keep it on the head.
This hat has been part of the traditional costume of Nice since at least the 18th century. Attributed to the costume of the Nice flower girl, it is often decorated with flowers.
Very popular hairstyle initially made from Piedmont rice straw and braided with very fine hemp yarn. Then natural rice straw, from China, was used.
The women of Nice turn their hats around following the path of the sun. When the sun is gone, they drop their hats on their backs or hang them on their lower loins.
