BEST SUN HATS FOR WOMEN

I take sun protection very seriously– my skin is pretty sensitive, especially being as pale as I am. With wider brims, sunhats offer top notch coverage while adding that “finishing touch” to your summer outfits. Over the years I’ve developed quite a collection, including my beloved Peter Beaton straw hat. While rounding up the best sun hats for women, I found a few I’m tempted by despite my stash…. The obsession is real!!

Best Sun Hats for Women

TURNED DOWN BRIM // NAVY BOW

IVORY RIBBON // TEXTURED STRAW

CROCHETED FLOPPY BRIM // GINGHAM RIBBON

BLACK RIBBON // EXTRA WIDE BRIM

When I saw the first sunhat with the turned down brim, I was struck by how chic it was, especially with such a tall crown! While I’m not sure I’d wear the brim turned up like the model, I imagine your face and shoulders get plenty of shade with it down. The navy bow sunhat has been a favorite for years and I bring it on every summer trip because it’s packable. At $65, my cost-per-wear is a fraction of a penny at this point. It’s one of the best beach hats, hands down. Tuckernuck sells a fedora version that’s also packable, if that’s more your style! One more packable option: this textured straw sunhat from J.Crew, which has been popping back up on the website every summer for years. It’s definitely a fan favorite and one of the best sun hats for women!

As someone with a big head, I was thrilled to see a review saying this floppy brim hat runs large. The casual look of the crocheted straw is great for certain outfits! I’m a sucker for anything blue and white gingham, and knowing this hat is a collab with Weezie makes me love it even more. Sarah Bray sent me one of their hats a couple years ago– it’s since sold out, but this one with the wide black ribbon is super elegant. Finally, in the spirit of sun safety, I wanted to share this hat because the brim is just so wide. Practical for walking down the street? No. Practical for sitting by the beach? Definitely.
