Choosing a suitable hat in summer should balance sun protection, comfort, and fashion. Here are a
few key points to helpyou choose the most suitable summer hat:
1. Prioritize sun protection performance
Hat brim width: A hat brim of at least 8-10cm is required to effectively cover the face and neck, such as wide brimmed
straw hats and fisherman hats.
UPF value: Choose a sunscreen hat with UPF50+certification (such as a professional outdoor brand), which can block
98% of UV rays.
Material density: Avoid weaving straw hats or mesh hats that are too loose, as UV rays can easily penetrate. The style
with inner lining and sunscreen coating is better.
2. Material determines comfort
Breathability: Natural materials such as cotton, linen, woven grass, and rattan are suitable for daily use and can absorb
sweat and provide breathability; Synthetic fibers (such as polyester fibers) are suitable for quick drying during exercise.
Lightweight: When worn for a long time, choose ultra lightweight materials (such as empty top hats and foldable styles)
to avoid stuffiness.
Waterproof: Choose quick drying nylon or coated fabric for beach or rainy days.
3. Matching face shape with hat shape
Round face: Choose a flat topped hat, fisherman's hat, or high topped straw hat with sharp edges to elongate the face
shape.
Long face: Wide brimmed hat, beret or baseball cap, balancing facial proportions.
Square face: Dome shaped soft woolen hat and bell shaped hat soften the jawline.
Small face/pointed face: Avoid oversized brim, optional baby hat or duckbill hat.
Daily commuting: Simple fisherman hat, baseball cap, paired with T-shirt or dress.
Outdoor sports: Empty top sun hat, quick drying sports hat with windproof rope design.
Beach vacation: large brimmed straw hat, wide brimmed sun hat, paired with flowing long skirt.
Urban fashion: berets, newsboys' hats, enhance the sense of layering in styling.
5. Practical details bonus points
Adjustable design: hat circumference adjustment strap, windproof rope (suitable for beach or cycling).
Foldable and portable: Choose a foldable straw hat for easy storage.
Inner sweatband lining: The sports cap has a built-in sweatband to prevent sweat from dripping.
Color selection: Light colors (beige, light blue) reflect sunlight more coolly, while dark colors (black, navy blue) provide
stronger sun protection but absorb heat.
6. Lightning Protection Guidelines
❌ Avoid heavy winter materials such as woolen and leather.
❌ For those with a larger head circumference, carefully choose a non elastic hat shape, which can easily appear tight.
❌ Sensitive scalp should avoid synthetic materials and choose natural fabric lining.
Classic choice: Wide brimmed straw woven hat (versatile for vacation)
Practical King: UPF50+Sunscreen Ceiling Cap (Outdoor Activities)
Trendy item: Colorful Fisherman's Hat (for daily casual wear)
Summary: Summer hat=sun protection x breathability x adaptability to different scenarios. When trying on, pay
attention to the fit of the head to ensure that it does not affect vision and movement. When matching, you can
choose the same color scheme or jump color embellishment according to the clothing style, making the hat the
finishing touch of summer styling!
