The news out there about the rise of sun damage has never been scarier. But you know, we love solving a scary problem with a stylish solution. While a cool summer hat may not have any effect at all on the ozone layer (at least, not in a way we can see), popping one on will give you the protection your head and face need when the hot summer sun means business. Best of all, it'll take your look up a few notches in that easy, jaunty way that can be 100% adorable. From floppy '70s-style straw hats to a crushable bucket style to a visor you can truly obsess over, these hats aren't just good-looking—they're good for you, too.
