I’m not really a hat person.
I’m definitely not a fan of hat hair or the matted-hair-sweaty look that often comes with wearing a hat.
But after my dad got skin cancers cut out the top of his head and having a family history of skin cancer, hats are a must wear when outside in the sun.
I have a fedora which adds style to all my outfits and gives a good amount of coverage, but I have been wanting to find a wide brim hat to give more shade and protection.
I found a hat at SEED Heritage that I loved but the price wasn’t within my budget.
It wasn’t until I walked by the hat range in Kmart that I saw this geometric wide brim hat for $12 and I knew it was just what I was after.
I really don’t like too much flop in my hats as they don’t have much hold because the brim tends to flop over my face making it hard to see. I like the brims of my hats to have a bit of stiffness so they don’t flop. And if they do flop, they need to be bent so they don’t flop at eye level.
A wide brim hat is definitely a must have accessory all year round.
Here are some I found online, ranging in price from $12 to $75.

3. Kooringal Wide Brim Bianca hat $59.95
