Blending the lines of comfortable, cute, and efficient, this sun hat will keep your face protected while you garden and have you looking super cute at the same time. We love the lanyard tie with hook and loop enclosure that'll keep the hat in place no matter the wind gusts. This straw hat also claims to have UPF 50+ and multiple reviewers attest to their sun-burn free skin.

Eric Javits Daphne Broad Brim Straw Fedora
Carmen's pick for the best garden hat, this fedora has been field-tested time and time again and always proves to be her go-to. "My all-time favorite gardening hat is the Eric Javits “Daphne” Broad Brim Fedora. It features a 4 ½-inch-wide brim," she says. "...it truly works. I have the non-sunburn to prove it! The brim is so large that it keeps the sun off my face, even after an all-day install."

While we love the look of a straw hat, it can get a bit stuffy with no airflow on your head. If you live in a hot or humid climate, you might prefer this visor instead. It has a wide 4-inch brim and also offers UPF 50+ protection, but you'll definitely need to apply some sunblock to your scalp. Reviewers also love how packable this visor is, saying it rolls up well and then quickly retakes its original shape.

If your main concern is utility, then this sun hat will fit the bill perfectly. It not only provides whole-head coverage but also has a mesh front panel for airflow. We love the lanyard tieback for protection against wind gusts and the extra-wide brim. No to mention, it also provides UPF 50+ protection against the sun.

If the sun doesn't get to you in those hot, humid climates, then the bugs definitely will. This hat provides all the protection you could ever want, with a mosquito net face covering, neck sun blocker, and a lanyard tieback. The best part? The face and neck coverings are both removable, so you can take them right off on more pleasant days.

If you're not into the traditional sun hat style, then you'll probably enjoy the more laid-back feel of this sun cap. And if you need more protection than just the UPF 50+ cap, then you can add the snap-on neck and/or face covering. It even has an optional tieback you can snap on.

Our Food and Crafts Director and avid gardener Charlyne Mattox loves this wide-brim hat from Plant Material. "Normally I have to have a gardening hat with a tieback," she says, "but this one fits so well that it stays put even when I kneel over." Handcrafted from cooked straw, it's a sustainably made choice that'll provide plenty of protection from the sun.
