Upturned brim hats—also known as kettle brim hats—are a best-selling women’s style for a reason: they’re flattering, versatile, and effortlessly elegant. With a brim that curves upward, this silhouette frames the face beautifully and tends to suit most face shapes, making it an easy go-to for women who want a refined look without overthinking it. Loved for their shapeable brims and multiple styling options, these hats can be worn crisp and classic or gently reshaped to match your mood and outfit.

Inspired by the timeless French Breton hat aesthetic, turned-up brim hats transition seamlessly from sunny-day outfits to cool-weather layers. For warm months, choose lightweight options made from straw, cotton, and breathable fabrics—perfect for vacations, outdoor events, and everyday sun protection. When temperatures drop, reach for felted or boiled wool styles that bring structure, warmth, and elevated seasonal polish.

Most kettle brims are around 3 inches wide, offering flattering coverage, while wider brim versions are available for extra sun protection when you want more shade without sacrificing style. From casual weekends to resort travel and fall city wear, upturned brim hats deliver a confident, feminine finish all year long.
