Hats are a summer necessity. If you plan on going outside at all, you’ll need some kind of hat to protect your delicate and beautiful face. We’ve rounded up five summer appropriate fashionable hats that are all cute and totally season appropriate.

1. Forever 21  Sun Hat

We’ll start with a fashionable floppy hat that’s inexpensive and perfect for stuffing into your bag for whenever you need it. This resold hat comes from ThredUp and is in practically new condition. Priced at $6.99 and is a women’s one-size-fits all.

2. Embroidered Band Straw Visor

This list wouldn’t be complete without a straw visor. And while this visor is pretty great on appearance alone, it’s its details that make it standout: the hat features a vintage cotton band and a brass buckle. It’s sold at Free People and priced at $58.

3. Marled Rancher Hat

This hat also comes from Free People. It’s a classic rancher style hat that features a vegan leather tie. Pick from two colors: grey or brown. It’s not the classic beach hat, so you will definitely stand out. Also: this hat is quite fashionable, so it will help you transition from brunch to beach with ease. Priced at a very reasonable $38.

4. Derinda Sun Hat

This is the modern version of the classic, floppy beach hat. It’s black and white, and made from straw. While many straw hats tend to be a bit thin, this one is nice and thick, so it won’t blow away easily. Priced at $58 from Anthropologie.

5. ’70s Floppy Straw Hat

And we had to end this list with a classic, floppy, vintage hat from the 1970s. The seller, JacquieVintage, says the hat features a wide 4″ brim, natural woven straw dyed red, and a grosgrain band knotted at the back, with trailing tails. Also, the label says it’s from Bloomingdale’s and made in Italy. Priced at $66.

1. Straw Weave Raffia Panama by Free People This chic but simple hat from Free People is the perfect accessory for nearly any casual, summer outfit. Pair it with your favorite sundress, a pair of breezy, summertime slacks, or don it with your bikini on your next yachting trip. Choose from a natural or brown color made from woven raffia, detailed with a faux suede ribbon – totally vegan and cruelty free. Perfect for your next vacation! $38

2. Embroidered Wheel Floppy Hat by Jonathan Adler

This floppy hat embodies the essence of chic, nautical summertime style! We love the contrast between the simplicity of the design, and the intricate colored stitching and navy blue sailboat wheel detail. Knowing that it was designed by one of America’s most conscious designers will make you feel just as good about wearing it as you how amazing you look in it. A definite poolside of beach accessory, this hat also doubles as the ideal way to top off a striped dress or high-waist shorts and striped tank or tee ensemble.  $88

3. Studded Baseball Cap by San Diego Hat Company

Style it up in this super stylish baseball cap from one of our favorite Made in the USA brands: San Diego Hat Company. Made from cotton, this baseball cap is as breathable as it is chic, and is sure to turn heads whether you wear it on your next shopping spree or game date at the stadium. We love the edginess that the studs add, while the simple black color makes it the perfect accessory for so many of this summer’s trendiest looks, like our favorite crop tops!  $48

4. Silverton Leather Rancher by Minnetonka

This hat from US born and bred, family owned company Minnetonka, is way to cool for school, and will let your wardrobe take a walk on the wild side. The tassels, fringing, frayed and distressed denim trends from Summer 2014’s runways are the perfect match for this wild west hat, which is available in rust brown or deep black. Cowgirl boots or edgy ankle boots are a must, unless you’re ready to rock it barefoot in one of the sexiest bikinis from this summer’s beach babe lineup.  $50

5. Keb Trekking Cap by Fjallraven If you’re looking for something more practical to take you through a strenuous woodland hike or keep your face protected during a long day out in the sun, the Keb Trekking Cap is just the ticket. Designed for maximum comfort and made to feel like you’re really not wearing anything on your head, this protective cap is simple, easy to wear and super breathable.
