There’s something about summer that makes me want to spend every possible minute outside. Slow mornings on the patio, afternoons by the pool, weekends at the beach, long walks before dinner: it’s my favorite time of year. But as much as I love being in the sun, I’ve learned that protecting my skin is a habit I’ll never neglect.
Sunscreen is always the first step, but a good sun hat has become just as essential. It instantly makes any outfit look a little more polished while giving your face, neck, and shoulders an extra layer of protection (especially on days when you’re out longer than expected).
The best ones are both practical and beautiful – the kind you really want to wear, whether you’re heading to the farmers’ market, lounging by the water, or packing for vacation. I’ve rounded up my favorites that strike that balance, so you can spend a little more time enjoying summer and a little less worrying about the sun.
