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.

Sarah Mariotti is a Toronto-based writer curious about fashion, spatial design, and ordinary human stories. When she’s not glued to her Kindle or writing about the next best earrings to hit the market, she’s putting on a pair of tortoise shades and ALD x New Balance sneaks and going for a nature walk — because a mentor and editor once told her that good ideas are always on the other side of a walk.
