18 Of The Season’s Best Summer Hats

Because Memorial Day is right around the corner

by Jenna Igneri

Before you know it, we’ll be spending our Summer Fridays and long weekends at the beach. And what better accessory to pair with our retro two-pieces and cutout one-pieces than a chic summer hat?

Not only are they an aesthetically pleasing addition to any summertime look, they serve a function. Sure, SPF will always be our best friend when it comes to protection from harmful UV rays, but we should be conscious of protecting our precious skin (and hair and scalp) in as many ways as possible. So bring on the floppy straw hats, visors, and bucket hats!

With Memorial Day Weekend quickly approaching, it’s time to get shopping. We rounded up the best hats of the season, for every style. Whether you’re going for Hamptons chic or sporty is more your speed, we got you covered. Check out our 18 picks of the season, below.
