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

A minimalist's dream hat!

This lantern shaped hat in a chocolate brown hue is dressier than the ubiquitous sand-colored version.

It looks like another raffia hat, but it’s not! Flip it over and notice the adjustable pin closure on the back—ideal for when you need snugger fit to prevent the brim from catching the wind and flying off!

A packable bucket you won’t mind tossing in your beach bag is essential for any coastal excursion.

A simple topper that would like immaculate with a white linen dress and some strappy sandals.

The Erdem florals on this poppy-colored cotton bucket hat add romance to a very utilitarian style.

The short and square crown paired with a wide brim makes for a wonderful profile, reminiscent of another time. A fun way to keep your hair intact under the hat, that is also a nod to the past, is to wrap it in a silk scarf. The combination of the straw hat and the colorful silk peeking from beneath would be exceptionally chic.

Try this oversized hat if you want to add some drama to your summer look. It has the perfect balance of rigidity and softness that allows you to fold the brim to your liking.

For logo lovers, it doesn’t get any better than a Loewe raffia hat.

Or a Miu Miu bucket!

If you invest in one hat this summer, let this beauty be the one. The shape and weight of it, as well as the leather grommet strap make it versatile enough to wear in the city, the country, and the beach.

It is interesting how a simple detail like a draped linen sash can elevate an otherwise ordinary woven raffia hat. The golden color and sinuousness of the fabric makes it a dreamy topper for sunny days.

Pacquale Putrino, Ultraviolhat’s founder, uses his mother’s crochet techniques to create these vibrant hats in the Italian Riviera. The unique mixes of color and the hand craftsmanship is hard to beat!

This bright swirl crochet hat is handmade by female artisans in Gujarat, India and it will certainly liven up any summer ensemble.

A white crochet hat is so refreshing, especially in this fitted bucket style with scalloped edges. The hit of gold with the “V” plaque dresses it up ever so slightly.

The color orange screams summer! This bright crochet cloche hat is a no brainer at this price point.

The contrasting whipstitch flower and heart motif that encircles the crown of this hat sweeten this otherwise simple raffia topper. It is produced in collaboration with Made for a Woman, a Madagascar-based social enterprise that aims to empower women by supporting them with living wages.

The hat for the fashion girl with an unexpected bonus: the geometric cut-outs allow a breeze to flow freely inside the hat!

Stay shady in this chocolate brown situation (available in numerous colors) featuring thick straps to tie it around your shoulder once the sun has set.

Aptly named the Holiday hat, the neutral color, canvas fabric, and wide brim make this hat packable and versatile enough to wear with just about anything on your next getaway. Also, the ties ensure that it does not move or fly away, while adding a feminine touch.

If a bare classic bucket hat feels a little simple, opt for this one in dark denim with hand-smocking on the crown by the covetable brand Merlette. It is their first hat, and they nailed it!

The brand makes this perfect bow-tied bucket hat in a rainbow of colors. This one in sage green is Lauren Hutton-worthy!

If quiet luxury is your aesthetic, this is the sun hat for you. What we love about this hat is that the mint sorbet color of this lightweight woven fedora is immediately cooling to the eye.

The combination of the tall crown and wide brim not only make this a very stylish straw hat, but also provide maximum coverage from the sun’s rays especially on a long day at the beach.

A panama hat is timeless and this design by Maison Michel is one of the most elevated you will find. It is the navy grosgrain ribbon, instead of the popular black ribbon, that really won us over.

A hat that will put you in a vacation statement of mind, even if you’ve yet to plan your summer travels.

Spanish sisters Cristina and Mariana Aguirre launched Romualda in 2020 with cotton and silk hand-painted hats. Since then the brand has expanded to include ready-to-wear, swim and other accessories. This “gigante hat” meaning “gigantic hat” has an approximately 15-inch brim, which is not only impressive in size, but also the art painted onto it. You will definitely stand out when you wear one of these unique pieces.

The iconic Pucci swirls have transcended time. The forever print on a bucket hat feels very now.
