6 cute hats that are casual and easy to wear during Fall/Winter in Los Angeles. 5 hats contain upf 50+ sun protection!
It’s important to protect your skin from the sun year-round, even during the Fall/Winter months. The problem is the difficulty in finding cute hats with UPF 50+ fabric that aren’t beach hats! When Fall and Winter arrive, pairing your favorite wide brim beach hat with your leather jacket just doesn’t look right.
It was surprisingly hard to find cute bucket hats and casual hats with UPF 50+ fabric! However, I found 6 hats off Amazon that are casual and cute and WILL work with Winter and Fall outfits! (See them all below!)
—>What is UPF+ fabric and why is it importanT for Additional sun protection?
UPF is like adding sunscreen SPF to your clothing.
UPF measures the amount of UV rays that penetrate fabric and reach your skin. UPF measures both UVB and UVA rays, while SPF measures only UVB.
What you need to know: A fabric must have a UPF of 30 to qualify for The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation. A UPF of 30 to 49 offers very good protection, while UPF 50+ rates as excellent.
Most beach hats have UPF coverage, but most bucket hats, or any other type of hat, don’t contain UPF fabric.
REVERSIBLE WIDE BRIM DENIM/CREAM BUCKET HAT WITH UPF 50+
This bucket hat has a wider brim, which offers more sun protection, AND contains UPF 50+ fabric. The denim is a nice touch since denim can easily pair with many outfits. The cream on the reverse is a nice contrast. Made of cotton.
2. REVERSIBLE WIDE BRIM BUCKET HAT WITH CUTE EMBROIDERY UPF 50+
This wide brim reversible bucket hat is super cute! I’m not a huge fan of embroidery, but this hat turned out to be one of my favorites. The design gives off the feel like you’re traveling to Mexico, or Palm Springs. The fabric contains UPF 50+ fabric.
3. BLACK BUCKET HAT WITH UPF 50+
This black bucket hat has a shorter brim and contains UPF 50+ fabric. This hat is one of my go-to’s since it goes with most everything and is casual and simple.
4. REVERSIBLE COTTON BYCKET HAT WITH UPF 50+ (BLACK + GREY)
This reversible wide brim bucket hat contains the UPF 50+ fabric and has a pretty contrast of black on one side and grey on the other. I plan to iron on a patch on the back to give it a little more personality.
5. CUTE SHINY LIGHT PINK RAIN HAT. *NO UPF 50+ INCLUDED. but STILL CUTE.
This shiny light pink bucket hat is actually a rain hat. It’s glossy, simple, and chic. The color says khaki online, but actually it is light pink in person. There’s a shiny black one, too, which I have my eye on.
6. BLACK FLOPPY HAT WITH TAN BOW IN COTTON, UPF 50+
This lightweight floppy cotton hat with UPF 50+ is elegant and chic. I could see myself wearing this to a brunch. The cute tan drawstring in the back is for tightening, just in case you need to ride in a convertible ;)
These 6 hats are easy to wear during the Winter and Fall months in Los Angeles and will offer you the sun protection that a beach hat does! Hope you enjoyed them!!!
