Warm weather is here, and that means it’s time to bring out your sunglasses and hats for style and sun protection. One of the best things about spring and summer is the chance to switch up your look with stylish hats that not only keep you cool but also elevate your outfit.

With so many great options to choose from, we’ve rounded up the must-have hats you’ll need this spring and summer. 

Bucket Hat

Bucket hats are always a staple for spring and summer. Lightweight and easy to wear, they bring a relaxed vibe to any outfit while keeping you protected from the sun. 

One of the many styles available is the denim-inspired look with wider brim, draw cord with toggle that’s stylish, versatile, and perfect for everyday wear. 

Another must-have style is the paper braid bucket hat. Its floral design adds a touch of fun, bringing a vintage yet summery vibe to any outfit. Lightweight and versatile, this hat is simple enough to pair with everything, yet stylish enough to instantly elevate your look. 

Cloche Hat

The cloche stands out with its tailored shape and small brim, making it a warm-weather essential. Perfect for spring and summer, it’s a timeless accessory for anyone who loves a sophisticated touch. The ribbon detail adds just the right finish, bringing an extra layer of elegance to this classic style.

 

Sun Smart Hat

For beach trips, park visits, or even quick errands, a trusty hat is a must. This Sun Smart Hat, designed in a bucket silhouette, offers both style and reliable UV protection. With thoughtful features like breathable fabric, wider coverage, and a secure chin strap, it’s made to keep you cool and protected under the summer sun.

Fedora Hat

The fedora hat is a timeless classic, defined by its structured crown and stylish brim. Crafted from lightweight paper, this version is perfect for spring and summer. Versatile and easy to style, it pairs effortlessly with casual outfits for a relaxed vibe or with dressier looks for a refined finish. 

Wide Brim Hat

Wide brim hats are a true spring and summer classic—you’ll spot them everywhere from beaches to brunches. This season, they’re back in fresh styles that suit any occasion. 

Starting with this wide brim paper hat featuring a chic contrast lining, it’s the perfect piece to elevate your beach looks while keeping you shaded in style.

Another standout style is this wide brim paper hat with a contrasting ribbon detail at the front. Cute and chic, the ribbon adds a playful touch that instantly elevates any outfit.

Another must-have this season is the raffia straw wide brim hat. With more structure than paper styles, its downward-sloping brim and defined crown create an elegant silhouette that pairs beautifully with dressier looks. The belt contrast detail adds just the right touch of flair to complete your outfit.
