Quality Materials, Handmade Construction

The best sun hats for women are breezy, lightweight, water-resistant, and offer ample sun protection. To achieve this, we’ve sourced only the finest materials to make hats that are true investment pieces.

The strong straw construction of many of our wide brim sun hats has been carefully crafted from a variety of 100% natural plant fibers, stalks, and leaves. They are hand-selected, sorted, cleaned, and bundled to ensure the highest level of quality. We plan out the exact patterns, colors, crown shapes, and brim styles prior to beginning. They are then carefully woven into a tight pattern to create what we believe are the absolute best sun hats for women on the market. They are rigid - holding their stunning shape for longer - but also incredibly lightweight and breathable. 


Ultra-breathable, nylon mesh and hemp fabric are some of our other lightweight options. We’ve designed this line of mesh hats for women to block 80% of the sun’s rays, to be able to withstand being packed into your weekender bag, and to be easily hand-washable for a hat that truly goes wherever you do. It’s a trifecta of features that make this the perfect material for the on-the-go woman who loves to soak up the summer sun, without needing to worry about anything other than having a great time. The packable fabric sun hats in our collection feature relaxed, wide brim styles with a rounded crown and no crease, coming in a variety of colors and fun prints, such as rose petal, camo, all-over pink, and classic beige.

We finish many of our sun hats with a hand-sewn sweat band, ventilation points throughout the crown, and fashionable details - like contrasting stitching or a beautiful leather hat band. Some of our women’s sun hats also come with a chinstrap to make sure not even a strong gust of wind will stop you from enjoying your day. 

Here at American Hat Makers, we specialize in designing women’s fashion hats that offer stylish protection and make you feel confident wherever you wear them. Whether you choose a wide brim sun hat, straw fedora hat, packable mesh hat, or another sun hat for women, your piece can effortlessly take you from the beach to backcountry mountain trails to wine tastings and, of course, beach getaways.
 

Caring for Your Sun Hats for Women

Summer is perfect for breaking out your favorite floppy sun hat. Whether you prefer a classic straw fedora or a brightly-colored sunhat, there's no better way to protect your skin from the sun while still looking stylish. But how do you keep your summer hat looking its best?

Here are a few tips:

First, if your summer hat is made of straw, store it in a cool, dry place when you're not wearing it. Sun and heat can cause straw hats to become brittle and crack.

Second, if your hat has a brim, shape it after every wear. Use your hands to mold the brim back into its original shape gently. This will help it keep its shape and prevent it from drooping over time.

Third, spot-clean your summer hat as needed. Use a soft brush for scrubbing if it gets dirty or sweaty. Be sure not to soak the hat, as this can damage the material.

What Is the Best Type of Hat to Wear in the Sun?

A hat is always a good idea when protecting your face from the sun. If you want a hat to keep you cool and comfortable in the heat, look for one made from lightweight material with a wide brim. And if you'll spend extended periods in the sun, choose a hat with built-in UPF protection.

Does the Color of a Sun Hat Matter?

Anyone who has spent a day in the sun knows that wearing a hat can significantly prevent sunburn. But what about the color of the hat? Does it matter whether you choose a white summer hat or a dark one?

Darker colors will provide more protection from the sun than light colors. That's because they absorb more of the sun's rays. However, there are some drawbacks to wearing a dark-colored hat.

For one thing, they tend to be hotter since they don't reflect as much sunlight. Also, darker colors can fade more quickly. If this bothers you, then a lighter color summer hat may be the better choice for you.

Is Wearing a Hat Better Than Sunscreen?

Hats protect the sun's harmful rays but can be easily forgotten or lost. Sunscreen, on the other hand, is always there when you need it.

You can apply it before you go outside, and it will stay put no matter what you do. So which is better? It depends on your personal preferences.

Sunscreen is the way to go if you want total sun protection. But a hat might be better if you don't mind carrying it around.

What Summer Hat Style Is in Fashion?

There are plenty of hat options if you're looking for a stylish way to stay cool this summer. Wide-brimmed sun hats are a classic choice that can provide sun protection and a trendy bohemian look.

Fedora hats are also making a comeback, and they can add a touch of sophistication to any outfit. No matter your style preferences, our website has a style for you.
