The Korean Central News Agency released a new summer style editorial, and Kim Jong-un's fresh Panama hat is the star of the spread.

Paired with a navy pin stripe suit, the wide-brimmed, beige hat proves that you don't have to sacrifice style to protect yourself from the sun's harsh rays. North Korea's leader gazes at the crops, judging them because they don't have cool new hats like he does.

The trend-setter previously made waves with his edgy haircut and tiny eyebrows.

The state-run news agency's coverage, however, fails to mention the hat, instead focusing on other elements of the dictator's trip to Farm No. 1116 and playing down his role as a fashion icon.

"Feasting his eyes on crops doing well in the fields of standardized shapes, cozy public buildings and dwelling houses, he said with great satisfaction that they look nice as they present fantastic scenery of the socialist rural area of the country," read the report.

That's great and all, but we're feasting our eyes on fashion.
