We take cool girl style tips wherever we can get them, so when Who What Wear fashion editor Kristen Nichols posted about the bizarre hat trend that was actually kind of chic (and totally practically) for summer, we were intrigued.

“This “ugly” trend is suddenly everywhere,” her headline read. “I can honestly say I never thought I would want to wear a visor again in my life,” her story continued.

Oh–but she did, because straw visors are BACK, baby. Say, what?!

Straw visors are something your grandma might wear at the retirement home–but it’s also something you’ll be seeing all over your feeds.

The unlikely trend has been seen everywhere from trendy hat makers like Eugenia Kim to style bloggers Aimee Song of Song of Style and Brittany Xavier of Thrifts & Threads.

“Went treasure hunting and suddenly felt compelled to buy a visor,” the editor captioned the pic. And now we feel compelled to buy one!

We actually don’t hate the full SPF coverage, and now that we’ve seen it styled in such cool ways, we’re definitely on board.
