Hot weather means you’re going to be spending a lot of time outdoors.

Whether you’re lounging by the pool, lying on the beach, or participating in a pickleball match, you’re going to need plenty of sun protection if you want to avoid getting sunburned.

Slathering on SPF is a nonnegotiable if you want to protect your face from the sun’s harmful rays. But sunscreen is only half the battle. If it’s maximum sun protection you’re after, you’ll need to throw on a hat, too.

Not only will a hat help keep your face out of the sun, it’ll also come in handy on bad hair days where you simply can’t be asked to bring out the hot tools.

The best summer hat will minimize sun exposure and make the perfect finishing touch to any look. 

When you think of a sun hat, the first thing that probably comes to mind is a classic straw hat. We found a super stylish one with a western flair, which is perfect if you want to get in on the cowboy hat trend.

Want a sportier look? You can never go wrong with a timeless baseball cap. We love these options not just because they are versatile, but because they’re adjustable, so you’ll be able to achieve the perfect fit.

Embrace the Y2K aesthetic with a floppy hat made from terry cloth or a brightly colored bucket hat.

Stay shady this summer. Keep reading to shop the best hats to keep the sun out of your face (and to prevent a sunburn).
