Lockdown is easing. Pub gardens are opening. We’re finally going to see our friends and family face to face with a pint. The sun will be shining…right? Right?!
Ok, let’s snap back to reality here- we are living in Britain after all. There’s a high chance that when you go back to your fave pub garden or outdoor restaurant, the heavens above will open and you’ll get soaked to the skin (as mum would say).
But what if we revealed that you could fight back, and enjoy your Pina Colada/manly Guinness in the rain- whilst looking fabulous? Dreams do come true, thanks to I Saw It First, and the Honcho.
The Honcho is the new fashion forward hat from online brand I Saw It First, which has gone viral for its simple but bonkers concept. To tackle the brutal beer garden weather, they’ve created this cream extreme oversized brim straw hat, with a removable poncho around it’s rim, which they describe as a "fully detachable waterproof veil". Ultimate protection for your outfit from the downpour.
Leanne Holmes, Brand Director at ISAWITFIRST said: “We have a wide variety of clothes and accessories for whatever the weather, however the British climate can be very unpredictable no matter what the season – especially in our brand’s hometown of Manchester.
“We wanted to create a product that our customers can enjoy in sunlight and showers, so they can look and feel great, whilst crucially staying dry. We’ve already seen a massive demand for this unique bespoke product across our site and social channels, so we expect this to be a staple item seen in beer gardens across the country.”
We’ve never needed anything more. Nothing will stop us Brits from enjoying our booze in peace! The all-seasonal hat is available on their website on an exclusive offer at £30 down from £60. It’s currently sold out, but don’t cry us a river, as we have exclusive news that a restock is happening very soon.
Follow us on our socials to find out when the restock hits shelves. We’ve got you, hun.

1 of 14Pink knitted playsuit with bust detail
This hot pink playsuit is exactly what we want to be wearing this summer. You can either keep it casual with some trainers or dress it up with heels and an oversized blazer.
2 of 14Orange rib racer bodycon mini dress
Bars are open which means you can finally wear a mini dress out on the town. This orange one will look incredible with a tan, a clutch bag and some strappy heels.
3 of 14Mid wash long line distressed denim jacket
Ever struggle to pick a jacket to wear in the summer? Well this denim jacket is your saviour because it's not too thick but it'll still keep you warm in the evenings. You can pair it with denim shorts, a denim skirt or jeans for that double denim look OR, why not wear it with a mini dress or playsuit?
4 of 14Bright orange rib cut out waist unitard
Whether you're planning your next night out or you want to get dressed up for your next picnic in the park, you're going to want to wear this unitard. We're loving the cut out detail and the colour of this outfit. It would be the PERF festival outfit but imagine trying to go to the toilet in the portaloo...
5 of 14Hot pink linen oversized blazer
...So to prevent yourself from attempting to wear this unitard at a festival (which is pretty impractical if you ask us because you'll basically be naked in the toilet), why not pair it wear an oversized hot pink blazer? Such a cute look to wear this summer.
6 of 14Red pleated tennis skirt
Tennis skirts have been quite the vibe since the first lockdown which is why we need this red one in our lives.
7 of 14Bright pink brushback varsity long sleeve sweatshirt
Probably our favourite piece from Olivia's collection. We're getting Legally Blonde vibes and we're not sure why but we're here for it.
8 of 14Hot pink mesh 5 piece lingerie set
This set is absolutely gorgeous. Need we say more?
9 of 14Apple champions oversized sweatshirt
It may be summer but why not wear this oversized jumper with a tennis skirt? Especially during the evenings when the weather has slightly cooled down.
10 of 14Apple champions printed joggers
However for any lazy days or when the weather cools down we'll be wearing the jumper with the matching joggers. These ones have an elasticated waist and cuffs - which means they'll give you that fitted but yet baggy look.
11 of 14Blue sleeveless knitted jumpsuit with bust details
With this jumpsuit you can either dress it up with a pair of trainers or dress it down and wear it as loungewear.
12 of 14Lilac check print woven zip front crop top
This co-ord is giving us major Clueless vibes. Imagine the Instagram pictures you can post…
13 of 14Lilac check print woven tennis skirt
And to complete this look we're going need the matching bottoms. We can already see ourselves wearing this to our next bottomless brunch.
14 of 14White satin stripe shirt dress
Another outfit that you can dress up or keep it casual. You can pair this shirt dress with trainers or you can wear it as a cover up on top of a mini dress - like Olivia.
