23 Stylish Hats To Stay Cool In This Summer

Here's how to serve up some next-level shade, in a good way.

Is there anything more essential in your summer wardrobe than The Hat? The single accessory offers shade and takes your outfit from “clothed” to “ooh la la” in one swift movement — it’s a two-for-one deal in summer styling. And whether they mimic the shape of an overturned bucket or are packed with cowboy flavour, summer hats keep your face and head hidden from the sun’s damaging rays. (All the cool kids know that sun protection is always in style.) Plus, they can mask any bad hair day! A true wardrobe hero.

This season’s toppers elicit a range of styles and moods, not to mention sizing options. From Simons’s minimalist bucket hat to CAFA 2021 award winner Fumile’s pink “Instadouche” cowboy chapeau, there are no rules on whose head these caps should sit on.

Browse our edit of stylish summer hats for the season ahead below and keep your cool as the weather heats up.
