To wear this hat, simply place it gently on your head. It's a great accessory for a vintage - themed event or just for a stylish day out. When it comes to storage, keep it in a cool, dry place to prevent further discoloration of the flowers. Avoid exposing it to sharp objects to prevent more rips. If it gets a little dirty, you can use a soft brush to gently clean the straw part. But be careful not to be too rough on the flowers or the netting.
