If we're to believe the weather reports, and we're definitely willing to, this heatwave is here to stay. 

For hot summer days a straw hat is a must. Not only will it protect your hair, and keep you oh-so-cool, but more importantly they make a great sartorial statement. 

Panama hats will add a masculine touch to a floaty sundress (Rag & Bone's midnight blue style is great) or if you want to make more of a statement try Lisa Battaglia's Von Trapp hat or Christy's straw bowler.

Here's our gallery of the top ten straw hats to shade you from the sun.
