Heading into the middle of summer nothing is more in style than keeping the sun off your face. Wearing sunscreen and shielding your face from the hot summer sun are two things that are non-negotiable for healthy and happy skin. Thankfully there’s a wide array of stylish and protective sun hats for women. From beach hats and bucket hats to baseball caps I’ve rounded the most stylish sun hats for women to wear this summer that are the perfect balance between style and sun safety.
Cowboy Hats
The coastal cowgirl look is a huge trend this summer. Below are my favorite cowboy hats that are perfect for the western cowboy beach vibe. Throw on your bikini and one of these cowboy hats or a dress and cowboy boots and you’re good to go.
Baseball Hats
Baseball hats are classic and a wardrobe staple for me. Stylish, functional and perfect for running errands and days when you can’t be bothered to wash your hair. But baseball hats aren’t exclusive to days at home and running errands. Pair your baseball cap with colorful striped poplin shirt for a quiet luxury type look or with denim shorts and a cami for an effortless cool girl look.
Cotton Bucket Hats
The classic cotton bucket hat has made a major comeback. I remember owning several of these as a 90’s kid. With its casual and laid-back style, the cotton bucket hat is perfect for beach vacations or casual summer outings. Its wide, downward-sloping brim offers shade and protection for your face and neck, while the soft cotton material keeps you cool on hot summer days. Choose a hat in a vibrant color or a playful print to add a fun and youthful touch to your outfit.
Raffia Bucket Hats
Crochet bucket hats have been my favorite as of late. I love the coastal grandmother aesthetic and these hats feel right in line with that . The look is neutral, classic and crisp look. In addition, crochet bucket hats are also lightweight and breathable so they not only provides sun protection but the crochet like design allows air to flow through, keeping your head cool and comfortable. Pair it with all your coastal grandmother looks like a linen shorts set or flowy maxi dress.
Wide-Brim Straw Hats
If you’re planning a day of outdoor activities, a wide-brim straw hat is your go-to accessory. These hat offers maximum sun protection with its wide brim and durable material. It’s perfect for gardening or any activities where you’re spending a large portion of the day in the sun. I have a few different versions of this hat and take them with me every time I’m on a tropical vacation.
Hats with a Chin Strap
For those windy beach days or outdoor walks, a hat with a chin strap is a practical and stylish choice. This hat not only keeps the sun out of your eyes but also stays securely in place even in gusty conditions. I’ve I seen quite a few influencers wearing this style hat this summer and I think this trend is definitely making a comeback. You can opt for more casual cotton options or more elegant feminine choices.
No matter your style there is sun hat option for you. Look stylish and fashionable this summer while protecting yourself from the sun and enjoying the sunny days ahead.
