Hats has been the ‘a la une’ in Tokyo markets this last month. The new fashion trend for girls in Tokyo is hats, but mind you not all types of hats, it’s the boater or “bota” or “kankanbo”, as it is known in Japanese which is the latest trend right now in Tokyo.

What’s the difference between this “bota” and normal hats? The “bota” is ‘made of straw and has a stiff or soft flat crown and brim, in general tied with a ribbon around the crown”. However some variations may exist, instead of using straw, materials especially colorful ones with bright flower patterns are used. And some of these hats have more decorations than a simple ribbon, for ie there can also be flowers attached to them.

If you are visiting Tokyo right now, wherever you will go, in almost all shops; this is what you will find the “botas”, hottest fashion trend for Japanese girls which definitely you can also adopt as they are trendy, pleasant and fashionable.
