It may also be called a straw hat when made from woven straw or similar lightweight materials. Some summer hats are known by specific styles, such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shopcarriston.com\/collections\/panama-hats\"\u003ePanama hats\u003c\/a\u003e, fedora hats, or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shopcarriston.com\/collections\/trilby-hats\"\u003etrilby hats\u003c\/a\u003e. The term summer hat is a general name for any lightweight hat worn in warm weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat kind of hat is best for sun protection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWide brim hats offer the best sun protection. A brim of 7cm or more shades your face, ears, and neck from direct sunlight. Straw hats with a tight weave block more UV rays than loose weaves. Darker colours absorb more heat but block UV effectively. Light colours reflect heat and feel cooler. For maximum protection, choose a wide brim straw hat or a sun hat with UPF rated fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the summer hat trend in 2026?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural textures and relaxed shapes lead summer hat trends in 2026. Straw fedora hats, oversized floppy brims, and woven bucket styles are all popular. Neutral tones like natural straw, cream, and tan remain strong. Subtle trims, leather bands, and contrast stitching add detail without overcomplicating the look. The focus is on hats that feel effortless and work across beach, city, and garden settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best colour hat to wear in the sun?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight colours like white, cream, natural straw, and pale grey reflect sunlight and keep your head cooler. Dark colours absorb more heat, which can feel uncomfortable on very hot days. However, dark colours do block UV rays effectively. For the best balance of coolness and protection, choose a light coloured hat with a tight weave or UPF rated fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cream-paper-straw-fedora-hat","title":"Paper Straw Fedora Hat With Ribbon Band","description":"\u003cp\u003eA laid back fedora with a traveller feel.
