I love sun hats, but because they take up so much space, they often don’t make the cut for getting packed on weekend trips. But not this one! This lightweight linen sun hat is floppy and foldable — and like all linens, it even looks better when it’s on the wrinkly side.

Its wide brim gives full sun coverage, which in my opinion, is quite the design upgrade from those sun hats with the neck flaps. The brim sways nicely in the breeze but because the crown is knit, it hugs your head and is less likely to fly away. It’s also super versatile — wear it with a brooch or pin, or wear it inside out for a shady bucket hat. Ready to wear and easy to pack for all your summer adventures!
