The Best Hats to Stay Cool and Protected in Summer 2024
Is it just us, or is it unusually sunny? We're used to having some partly cloudy days, but this season has seen nothing but 100-degree temperatures and blazing bright and clear skies. It's an understatement to say that our eyes are straining and burning.
Thankfully, there is this magical invention called a hat, and summer 2024 fashion has unveiled many stylish ones. Keep reading to discover a few of the most fashionable caps we've found.

Lululemon Classic Unisex Wordmark Ball Cap: $38
Hey, maybe you're lucky enough not to have a sweaty head. A standard baseball cap might get the job done just fine. For something that fits all your summer outfits, we love Lululemon's Classic Cap. It's minimalistic but comes in a variety of colors and still has a sweat-wicking fabric.

The North Face Horizon Breeze Brimmer Hat: $45
Bucket hats are polarizing, but we like them! Because they are looser than a baseball cap, they tend to feel more comfortable on our heads, and they also shield your neck, too. This one from North Face isn't your ordinary bucket hat, though, as it has UPF 40+ protection to block harmful UV rays.
