Wide Brimmed Sun Hat For Women And Men

Wide brimmed sun hats can look stylish and be great to protect our face and neck from the harmful effects of the sun. A wide brimmed sun hat helps shield your skin. Sunshine is lovely but there are risks to being in the sun without adequate protection. Our faces and necks are particularly vulnerable and the skin there is often more delicate so a wide brimmed sun hat is one of the great ways of looking good and helping us to staying sun safe.

The sunshine and fresh air has many benefits and we should enjoy being outdoors, but we need to be sun aware and protect ourselves. No one wants wrinkles or leathery skin or skin that is sun damaged or even worse skin cancers. It is easy to pop on a nice hat and go about your day with out any of those concerns. Due to a recent serious skin condition I have to be very careful with my skin and wearing a wide brimmed sun hat is going to be a part of my outfits when its sunny anytime from now on.

Wide brimmed hats in general -and specifically dense weaved ones- offer us a way to help towards our important sun protection. They are generally better at protecting us from the sun than small brimmed or baseball styles- though any hat or head covering is better than none at all.

Here there is a selection covering mens and womens wide brimmed sun hats, travel sun hats and sun hats with sun protection factor built in. If you don't see any featured that you like or need you can easily go through to Amazon from any of the links here.

A very pretty wide brimmed sun hat.

In practical terms it will shield you from the suns rays and you will certainly look and feel very stylish.

This hat can take you anywhere from relaxing in your own garden to an event or occasion, even a wedding.

You can go about your day and enjoy outdoor activities without having to even think about is you head protected from the harmful suns rays.

This practical hat even has a toggle you can wear under the chin so if you are out and about on a sunny yet windy day you will not lose your hat so easily

I have always worn a hat in the summer and I love my wide brimmed sun hats but they can be a pain if I am travelling anywhere. If I fold them up they never quite look the same again and can become very floppy!. So I keep those for use when I am going about my daily chores, going out for the day or in the garden etc.

Now more than ever, due to my skin condition, I need a wide brimmed sun hat pretty much all the time once it starts to get warm here. The sun hats with small brims do not give enough protection so that is not an option for me. If I need to actually pack a wide brimmed sun hat the best option is to go for a proper crushable or packable one.

Many people will especially need a wide brimmed sun hat if going on holiday to hot and sunny climates to give them additional protection from the sun, so a packable or crushable hat is always a necessity in the suitcase!

This hat will fold up small enough to fit in your pocket!

A brilliant idea so you can always have a sun hat handy.

This hat enables you to have your sun protection any time whatever you are doing. Even if you didn't plan to be out and about for so long a time you will not suffer in the sun if you have this hat handy.

It has UV sun protection and is water repellent.

With a UP50 protection this large brimmed sun hat in black would be lovely in itself.

It gives extremely good sun protection with its very wide brim and looks gorgeous too.

However it has the added benefit of being crushable.

This makes it just ideal for travelling, holidays and just simply carrying around.

A good basic neutral colour to take you anywhere.

This hat is great for outdoor activities, walking, watching the childrens sports, shopping or walking the dog.

Especially if it might be windy and sunny which often happens it has a wind lanyard which solves the potential problem of losing a wide brimmed hat in the wind!

With excellent sun protection this is a very useful and practical hat to keep you safe and protected and looking great.

So why do I keep talking about a Wide brimmed sun hat? Well my main interest here is protection from the sun and to keep the skin as cool and safe as possible.

A wide brimmed sun hat will give you the most opportunity to keep you face and neck shaded or covered from the suns harmful rays in a way that the very small brimmed hats just cannot. From my research an absolute minimum brim of 3 inches is a necessity but the more inches added to the brim the better!!

One issue with very wide brimmed hats can be if you are out in the wind and the hat might blow off! I have rarely found this an issue with a well fitting hat but If this is an issue for you then opt for one with a tie to go around your chin or an adjustable tie around the base of the hat or a tie that goes around the hat which will usually solve the problem and give you the sun protection that you require.

Do check out these gorgeous sun hats. It makes sense to shield your face and neck from the suns rays whether you are just going about your day or need a gorgeous hat for a special occasion. I am wearing hats a lot more in the sunshine and need a variety and I do love ones with that extra lovely factor.

This hat is so pretty and if the colour is right for you and your outfit will look just stunning.

It frames the face beautifully and will be very flattering.

Such a gorgeous hat for those special occasions.

Another gorgeous very wide brimmed hat that would be just wonderful for a special occasion.

If you are looking for maximum sun protection from a wide brimmed sun hat then maybe you should consider one that has a built in sun protection factor.

There are usually available at around factor 50.

Coolibar do a nice range and do look for it in other hats as well.

I really like this hat. In 100% cotton and with a UPF of 50 and a wide brim of 4 inches it gives good solid sun protection qualities.

It is a very versatile sun hat being practical and very lovely yet understated. I love it in this colour but it does come in several other colours you will see if you choose to explore further.

Another great thing about this hat is that it is reversible! I love that about it. Especially these days with travel restrictions on luggage weight and wanting to travel light you get two hats in one.

Men need sun hats too! Whether you are just walking around or persuing a hobby or working outside for your job or a hobby or enjoying watching outdoor sports you also need to protect your face and neck.
