Island Girl Hats Navy Pinstripe Wide-Brim Straw Sun Hat
Where the Rail Meets the Regatta
Some hats belong in a beach house. This one belongs on the rail at WEF — and in that beach house. The Navy Pinstripe by Island Girl Hats is a masterclass in effortless resort dressing, built for the rider who understands that looking composed at 10 AM and still looking great at 5 PM is its own kind of performance. Woven from warm golden straw with a structured crown and a wide, sweeping brim, it carries the quiet confidence of someone who planned their outfit with as much intention as their course walk.
Details That Do the Talking
The real character lives in the banding. A raw-edge fringe trim wraps the crown — cream-white with textured top and bottom edges that feel deliberately undone in the best possible way. Running straight through the center of that fringe is a navy and white pinstripe grosgrain ribbon, crisp and tailored, like a blazer stripe translated into a hat band. A small wooden bead accent grounds the look with a warm, organic note. Up front, a matching navy and white pinstripe bow sits clean against the crown, finishing the whole composition with a punctuation mark that says I thought about this. The brim edge is finished in rich brown/tan fabric trim — a grounding detail that ties back to the warm tones of the straw and pulls the palette together.
Function Built for Real Days at the Show
Pretty hats that only work for photos are not hats — they’re props. The Navy Pinstripe is made to go the distance. The inner Comfort Flex band conforms to your head for a secure, all-day fit that survives the walk from trailer to ring and back again without fuss. A chin cord with an adjustable cord lock means a sudden gust between classes isn’t a crisis. One size fits most, which means grabbing it on the way out the door is always an option. UPF protection from the wide brim keeps the sun where it belongs — off your face, not on your skin.
The Aesthetic in One Word: Nantucket
Nautical without being costumey. Preppy without being precious. The navy and white colorway is a natural partner for white breeches, a navy show coat, or a linen blouse at the barn social. It photographs beautifully in natural light and reads just as well from across the field. Whether you’re schooling in Florida in January or courtside at a summer show in Saratoga, this hat earns its spot in the rotation — the kind of piece you reach for without thinking because it makes everything else look more intentional.
Curated for Alorian
At Alorian Saddlery, every accessory earns its place through a simple standard: it has to work as hard as it looks. Island Girl Hats has built a reputation among East Coast equestrians for exactly that balance — quality construction, sun-smart design, and styling that holds up across the full scope of a show day. The Navy Pinstripe is our kind of hat.
