Panama hats are the essence of warm-weather style — lightweight, breathable, and effortlessly elegant. Despite the name, the classic Panama hat originated in Ecuador and rose to fame during the construction of the Panama Canal, where officials were often photographed in this finely woven straw headwear. Today the Panama hat is a summer staple for men and women alike, worn everywhere from beach resorts to garden parties.
