Summer Essential: Sun Hats

I’ve been a fan of hats for years, I love the way they look, and most importantly they help shield your face from the sun. There are so many great styles out there…something to suit your personal style no matter what looks you love. My hat collection is huge, I have hats all colors, brim sizes and materials for all seasons. A fabulous hat can add so much to any outfit no matter what the occasion.

For a summer hat, it’s good to have a larger brim and there are many styles out there with SPF built in too. That’s an added bonus and something important to consider. Another thing to consider is if you need a packable hat for travel. It’s so convenient to bring a few choices when you travel, and you can easily do this with hats you can roll and pack.

Here are some of my favorites that you can have at your doorstep in no time at all!
