Tuesday Trend: Sun Hats

05/21/13 | Amazon Prime, Fashion and Style, Marc Jacobs, Neutrogena, Tiffany, Tuesday Trend, vacation

kate-naomi-2When the weather starts to warm up, we generally start hearing more and more about sun protection.  I wrote about it in a post last month when I listed my beach essentials, but sun protection is important year round.  With Memorial Day is right around the corner the sun protection items are making their way to the front displays of drugstores and statement sunglasses can be seen everywhere.

There are many great items you can use to protect your skin from the sun and while Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 55 is my favorite product, sun hats are my number one choice for stylish sun protection!

This classically effective method of sun protection is going to be everywhere this summer.  Take a cue from the Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell in their December/January spread in Interview Russia. A hat can not only add a little pizazz to your look, but is a a great way to protect your face and scalp from damaging UVA and UVB rays.  And sun hats are much more effective than turbans which are trending after Glee’s Naya Rivera wore one on a beach getaway.

 Today I have a few great sun hats picks for you for inspiration: 

Sunhat

Helene Berman Banded Hat/ Volcom Stone Hat / Gwio Stripe Floppy Hat
Marc Jacobs Plastique Raffia Hat / Calvin Klein Ombre Sunhat /  Yellow Wide Brim Straw Floppy Hat
(Over the weekend I taught myself how to do mapping on a static image 
– click on different hats and you will be directed to those pages! )
This is how I wear my sunhat – seen here in Mykonos, Greece with a locally made sun hat and a Tiffany & Co. necklace. When I am out and about this summer in the park or in the beach. 

Do you wear sun hats?

    I actually JUST bought a sunhat for the first time a few weeks ago. I do NOT know why it took me so long to get one. They are awesome to wear! Just in time for summer, haha.

    I love sun hats and bought one last winter before a vacation. So far, I’ve only worn mine on vacation and to sit outside in my own backyard.

    I’ve yet to work up the courage to wear it as part of an outfit, but I’m loving the styles you chose.

    I think floppy sun hats are so cute–and pretty glamour-queen when worn on the beach/around the city! I really want one, but I haven’t found one I totally love/don’t look dorky in yet!
