The best beach hats to protect you from the sun
When packing for the beach, hats are crucial—both for your look and to protect you from the sun.
Before you even think about laying out in the sun this season, make sure you’re armed with one of the hat options below. Don’t forget about the sunscreen, too.
Open knit braided cotton beach hat
Hat boxes are inconvenient when you’re trying to travel light, so pick an easily foldable hat and won’t crease. Open knit braided cotton beach hat is a great option.
Panama sun hat
It has a Velcro inner band, so the fit is adjustable, while the woven material allows for moisture to escape, thus keeping your head cool. It’s also water resistant, so if a splash of water gets on it while you’re on the boat, it’ll remain intact.
UV protection visor hat
It’s perfect for those looking for something functional a.k.a. a hat that will keep their face free of redness and sunburns.
Elegant wide brim hat
It’ll hold its shape because of the harder material.
Panama straw hat
The best part about this straw hat is the fringed hatband, which adds new detail to the accessory while still matching with most of your outfits. Given the short brim, this accessory won’t provide too much face coverage but will look great on Instagram.
