On the short list of things you need to stay protected from harsh UV rays during your summer travels, a good sun hat goes a long way. Whether you’re hiking along mountain trails, whale watching in Los Cabos, or setting sail on the French Riviera, some sort of head covering to shield your eyes, scalp, and face is an absolute must-have. Thankfully there are a wide selection of styles on the market that are as aesthetically pleasing as they are practical for outdoor adventures.
When you initially think of sun hats, it’s likely that wide-brim designs made of straw or raffia first come to mind. They’re not your only option, though.

Not only does this type of hat offer full coverage, more traditional styles are flexible by design which means they can be folded and packed in your suitcase without ruining the shape. Classic versions of the hat usually have either a flat or floppy rim that can be folded and flipped over when you’re indoors, though more modern iterations can fall somewhere in between.
A sporty staple, the baseball cap's folded brim offers the perfect amount of coverage while still letting your face get a sunkissed glow. Not to mention these caps are a great way to rep your favorite sports team, fashion brand, or city. It’s one of the reasons why streetwear designer Chris Stamp includes a five-panel trucker cap in each of his sold-out ‘Sushi Club’ collections. Whether it means sitting by the pool or playing multiple rounds on the golf course, both Stamp (and Chef Nobu Matsuhisa) rely on the dad-style cap for sun protection—and so can you.
As the name suggests, this silhouette is made with built-in shade for your eyes and, more often than
