Stay stylish—and protected!—from the bright sun all summer long.

Sunny days are here again, and while that has proven the perfect opportunity to bring out our favorite sundresses, sandals and more—it also means we need to protect ourselves from sun exposure. SPF is a must, of course, but a good sun hat is a wardrobe essential as well. Not only will it shield you from any unwanted UV exposure, but it also functions as the ultimate accessory— and the perfect way to add an extra punch to any outfit. TLDR: don't leave home without one.

Here, we offer some of the most stylish sun hats around, from the raffia bucket hat our senior fashion editor loves, to packable toppers, and wide brim options galore.

T&C's very own senior fashion editor MaryKate Boylan swears by this woven topper—it's equal parts fashionable and functional!

Whether you're wearing this regeneratively crafted topper in the city or the country, its soft curved brim and structured weave will add polish to the rest of your look in a pinch.

Throw on this topper for a bit of floral fun. Bonus: because it's a bucket hat, you can easily store it in your bag while you're not wearing it.

When traveling, some tough decisions must be made when it comes to packing. Who wants to risk crushing their favorite sunhat? Rest assured, your classic summer topper will stand the test of time if you're toting along the Cuyana packable Ecuador hat.

A classic wide brim bucket hat is tough to pass up, but when it has ties? You can wear it with anything, to just about any place.

Layer on the drama with this extra large brimmed straw sun hat. Style it with oversized shades, an Eres maillot, and an ice cold beverage.

Your classic summer hat, down to the grosgrain black band.

Take things to the next level of chic with a Gondolier hat. With a wide flat brim and darling bow, all you need is a classic pair of capris and a striped blouse to look like you've stepped out of an Audrey Hepburn flick.

What's more every day than denim? Surely nothing. Make this denim bucket hat your day to day go to—it will add a touch of cool to every outfit.

A wide-brimmed braided raffia hat might not ordinarily be the best thing to bring to the beach, but this one is. Why? The adjustable chin strap, of course. You get the extra sun protection, with the added benefit of keeping your hat in your possession. Win win!

Make like the Duchess of Sussex in a wide brimmed hat from one of her go-to brands, Cuyana. The color palette is sophisticated, neutral, and unexpected in a chocolate hue.

Who doesn't want to get in on a little Barbiecore this summer. This classic sunhat is perfect for lady who lunches—or the garden partier— amongst us. And the bright pink bow? Barbie herself would find it hard to resist.
