Ever since legendary golf player Sam Snead wore straw golf hats on the golf course they have been a sporty fashion hit that is showing no sigh of fading anytime in the near future.

Golf is now a very popular game and a fashionable one at that, with the likes of Justin Timberlake often being seen playing. As the game itself is the sport to be seen playing, the attire one wears for golf is becoming just as important.

With golfing attire being important for many this means that straw golf hats worn by Snead since the early 1930’s have evolved in the fashion industry to being more stylish and cool.

Many straw hats that are intended to be worn for golfing purposes, will typically have a large brim, this is great for keeping the sun out of your eyes which is crucial when taking those all important swings. Despite most straw hats for golf having this wide brim their appearances do vary, which means you can still let your fashion personality shine through.

Some great examples include those of different colors as gone are the days when straw hats were predominantly natural tan colored, now the straw can be dyed colors such as blacks, blues, greens and even red should you prefer something brighter.

Other ways the hats are customized are via the bands that are wrapped around the outside of the hat just above the brim. These include different colors, patterns some like Nike’s versions even have logos.

If you are a fashion conscious golf player, then opt for a color that will match any outfit, blacks, browns and plain straw colors will go with anything.
