Fedoras, buckets, and visors—oh my!

Though we're donning our warmest 'fits and blasting the heat right now, spring is bound to arrive within the blink of an eye. (And honestly, we're already excited for the warmth.) Maybe you're planning to go somewhere tropical for a little spring break vacation. Or perhaps you're simply getting a jumpstart on your warm-weather wardrobe. Whatever the sitch, we're here to ensure you're well equipped to fight the sudden change in temperatures (and keep your head from getting sunburnt). Because although being generous with the SPF is def a must, a good ol' hat can help, too.

Let's be real, though: Hats sometimes get a bad rap. Case in point: Some people will only throw on a head covering on when they're having a bad hair day. (To be fair, of course, not everyone has time to craft a complicated hairstyle every single day.) But truthfully, hats are one of the few accessories that stand out and can seriously elevate an outfit. They're often much more noticeable than jewelry, and when someone looks at you, the first thing they typically see is your head. Why not find something pretty to frame that already gorgeous visage of yours, yeah?

From visors and bucket hats to caps and fedoras, you can pair any of the best spring hats below with the cute warm-weather outfits we know you're already carefully planning.

Opt for a safe and simple neutral cap that can match almost any outfit. Having a go-to piece like this will save you time in planning a whole ensemble around your hat, and you’re pretty much guaranteed to still look cute AF.

Fun, oversized, and perfect for keeping you dry during a spring storm, this Ganni hat is a must-have.

IMO, floppy hats are really the chicest of them all. A hat like this will instantly transport your mind to some tropical destination—even if you’re just running into town for some errands.

Um, are visors back in? That's a definite YES—particularly if your spring plans include being near a body of water. Just picture how chic this piece would be with your lakeside backdrop.

If you want to add a few fun colors to your spring 'fit without going super bold, this pick is perfection.

The sun is gaining its strength back during the spring season, so make sure you’re properly covered with a bucket hat. Recreational Habits is bringing back that preppy chic look, folks.

I feel like we must pay homage to the OG hat: the Ralph Lauren cap. Everyone from dads to TikTok fashionistas love this piece. It’s a simple yet chic look and can be paired with almost any 'fit.

Somehow, the fedora has stood the test of time and held its rightful place on everyone’s heads. And with over 23,000 reviews with a near perfect 5 star rating, you truly cannot go wrong with this option.

If you were in the market for an obscenely large sun hat, then look no further. This piece is a dream come true. Walk around with a hat as big as your personality this spring, bb.

Did somebody say baguettes and pain au chocolat? The springtime allows us to bring out that french beret we bought that one time in Paris. But since trips to France haven’t exactly been happening lately, this pick is the next best thing. 

This satin-lined baseball cap was specifically crafted to protect hair from breakage. You won’t have to worry about hat hair and your 'do will look just as good with or without le cap.

Calling all trend-savvy fashionistas! I love a good pop of color for spring. Reserve this bucket hat for the early days where the weather is still on the cold side.

Rag and Bone’s cap fits that cool girl vibe immaculately. This piece comes in four different earthy tones, for those of you with a more neutral wardrobe.

Isabel Marant’s contemporary style is evident in this bucket hat. I would style this with a loose-fitted linen dress or a skirt, bralette and blazer combo. 

Get in the convertible with your comfy nap dress and hold onto this big straw hat, ladies—because you're about to deliver a vibe.

This adorable straw hat will allow the cool breeze to grace your head while still protecting you from UV rays. The the minute you put this on, you'll feel like you've been transported to the vacay of your dreams.
