Les Chapeaux du Roland Garros
If you were watching the French Open at Roland Garros this weekend you may have noticed that almost all of the spectators were wearing the same white hats.

The tennis blog Slice even caught shots of Nadal's girlfriend, Maria Francisca "Xisca" Perello & the girlfriend of Djokovic, Jelena Ristic, wearing them as they cheered their guys on. It seemed that it was a rare head that was not sporting one of these chic chapeaux.

All of those white hats made it look like Wimbledon. My husband even asked what was with all the white. I suppose they sold a lot because it was so sunny for much of the French Open this year. Thanks for playing along. Here’s my Dreaming of France meme
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post- fashionable and informative! I didn't see any of Roland Garros, so didn't see the hats, but what a great back story they have. Actually it's nice to see French folks wearing sun protection. We Australians are very aware of it of course, but it's rare to see the French wearing hats on hot days I found, and on my trip in 2010 I lost my hat on the Arc de Triomphe and it was almost impossible to find a replacement!
