There’s something about summer that makes you want to spend every moment outside. Leisurely mornings on the patio, afternoons by the pool, weekends at the beach, and long walks before dinner are some of my favorite times of the year. But while I love being in the sun, I’ve learned that protecting my skin is one habit I never miss.
Sunscreen is always the first step, but a sun hat has become essential as well. It instantly makes any outfit feel a little more put together (especially on days when you’re outside longer than planned) while giving your face, neck, and shoulders an extra layer of protection.
The best ones are practical, yet beautiful, and ones you’ll actually want to wear, whether you’re going to the farmer’s market, lounging by the water, or preparing for a vacation. We’ve collected some well-balanced favorites. That way you can enjoy summer a little more and worry a little less about the sun.
