Pairing it with a silk striped dress from Ralph Lauren and some raffia platform heels, she was the epitome of classic British summertime dressing.

Meghan Markle’s oversized straw sun hatIn an Instagram post just a few weeks ago, Meghan Markle was seen wearing an oversized straw hat while she carried her two children (with Lilibet also in an affordable straw sun hat).

Michelle Keegan’s straw cowboy hat
The western trend is going nowhere any time soon (thank you, Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter tour) so it’s no surprise that it’s even started to infiltrate our beachwear too. Michelle Keegan recently shared several snaps of herself on Instagram wearing a swimsuit from her own brand, Orfilabee, which she accessorised with a co-ordinating chocolate brown straw cowboy hat. The open-weave straw design makes it ideal for wearing whilst at the beach or sunbathing, helping shade you from the sun whilst also being breezy and comfortable.

Alternative: Amazon Summer Straw Cowgirl Hat - £11.02
