The hat has long surpassed its value as just a practical, protective piece and has become a statement-maker in and of itself. Your choice of headwear can give direction to your whole look—a cap to add a sporty feel, a bucket hat for funky playfulness, or a structured straw hat to create polish. If you’re not sure which hat to pack for your next beach trip, don't fret, there are many stylish fashion girls to take cues from.
Here are 8 hats you can bring to the beach, according to your favorite celebrities and influencers:
1. Straw Fedora
Certified island girl Marie Lozano is rarely without a chic topper, and a straw fedora is one of her favorite picks! It’s a beachwear classic that’s a little more on the sophisticated side, structured nicely with a sturdy silhouette. Pack it in your suitcase if you want to add polish to your summer looks.

2. Oversized Straw Hat
Always one to make high fashion just work, Liz Uy donned an oversized hat on her recent Palawan trip. The piece is a bold take on your classic straw hat and is definitely a head-turner. Although it fares poorly in practicality, it makes for a to-die-for fashion moment, which is always worth it.

3. Fringe-Trimmed Straw Hat
Bea Alonzo opted for a tamer version of the straw hat, but one that’s an eye-catcher in its own right. It’s a piece from Cult Gaia, and features carefully frayed edges, creating that rustically textured feel. Pairing it with a classic black one-piece, the actress gives us a lesson in elevating simple beach looks.

4. Floppy Hat
So you’re all for a big floppy hat but can’t take the struggles of packing straw? Why not try this beauty worn by Nicole Andersson, instead? The influencer wore this piece from Louis Vuitton, making for a look that’s half-tropicana and half-Parisian chic. We love how it’s done in a casual chambray color that’s just dying to be matched with your go-to summer cut-offs.
