 Raffia, harvested from palm trees without harming them, is an affordable balmy look.

Groovy slouchy hats of hemp, farmed without pesticides, are yours at Rawganique.

Seagrass, another natural, replenishing material, makes natty at Sun Protective Clothing.

Haut UPF straw hats block 98 percent of UV rays, from Coolibar.
