Sun’s Out! Pick Up a New Summer Hat to Celebrate the Season

In addition to a cute cover-up and trusty sunscreen, you’ll want to consider topping off your spring and summer looks with one of the best sun hats of the season. With plenty of sun-drenched days ahead (even September is still summer after all!), it’s important to add stylish protection to your outfits. A raffia lampshade topper or cotton bucket hat are an on-trend way to keep the sun out of your eyes and accessorize your beach-vacation or weekend-getaway look. Sport a crochet bucket hat for a day at the beach, a canvas wide-brim for an afternoon of gardening, or one with a grosgrain-ribbon chin strap when going for a walk.

This summer, we’re seeing structured chapeaux in a variety of silhouettes, from dramatic lampshades to floppy knit styles. There’s also a handful of new textures to consider, including colorful crochets and pleated raffia. Whether you’re staying local for the rest of the season or still have a holiday planned, you don’t have to worry about stuffing one into a suitcase; there are plenty of soft packable styles that will certainly do the trick.

No matter which way your style is headed, we’ve got you covered with the best sun hats for women. Here, find 27 options for the rest of the sunny days ahead.
