The most popular wide-brimmed hat style is the classic dome crown broad-brim hat, also called a sun hat, beach hat, or a floppy hat. Straw and lightweight fabric hats for summer, and felt, knit and heavier fabric hats for winter. Soft, floppy brims gently fall around the face to create a fun-loving bohemian look, while structured brim hats exude elegance and sophistication.
Pinched crown wide brim safari hats have a slight front-to-back curving brim, or an all-around downward sloping brim. Both brim styles enhance sun coverage.
Flat crown hats, such as bolero, gaucho, boater hats, have flat wide brims. Made of felt or straw, this elegant wide brimmed hat style is a terrific addition to your summer or winter wardrobe.
Open crown wide brim visor hats are great alternatives if you prefer your hair in a ponytail or bun.
Designed for sun protection, wider brims offer more shade for your face, neck, and shoulders. Our hats are tested and rated for UPF 50+ sun protection, blocking over 98.5% of UVA and UVB rays. Choose extreme wide brims for ultimate sun protection - head-turning styles for the beach or poolside. More information about sun protection.
For effective sun protection, a women’s hat should have at least a 3-inch brim. Wider brims between 5 and 8 inches provide maximum coverage, helping block UV rays from the face, neck, and shoulders during prolonged sun exposure.
Yes, wide-brimmed hats provide better sun protection than narrow-brim hat styles, or caps. A wider brim offers more shade and reduces UV exposure, making wide-brim hats the preferred choice for women spending extended time outdoors.
The best crown style depends on preference, and fit. Flat crowns offer a modern, structured look, pinched crowns add shape and definition, and round crowns provide a classic, softer appearance. All crown styles can offer excellent sun protection when paired with a wide brim.
Flat crowns suit round faces by adding structure, pinched crowns flatter square and heart-shaped faces by adding angles, and round crowns balance long or angular faces with softer proportions. All crown styles provide strong sun protection when paired with a 3–8 inch brim.
The best brim width depends on face shape.
Women with round faces look best in 5–8 inch brims that add length and balance, oval faces suit 3–8 inch brims, square faces are flattered by 4–6 inch brims with softer edges, and heart-shaped faces pair well with 3–5 inch brims that don’t overwhelm the face while still providing sun protection.
