I never thought my dermatologist would have so much to say about my fashion choices, but during a recent appointment when I revealed some family history, it was revealed to me that a sun hat was a must at the beach. Even the skin below your hair is sensitive to the sun, and any extra protection you can get to shade your face can go along way. I can be wary to wear a hat when I spend so much time on my hair, but this fashion choice can truly be worth it in the long run.
Below, you'll find a selection of the best sun hats I could find that effortlessly combine practicality with style. Whether you prefer budget-friendly options or indulgent splurges, there's an item to match every taste in this collection. And before I go, I simply must emphasize the importance of wearing SPF, even when donning a hat, for the ultimate dermatologist-approved look.
