[How to Choose a Hat] Don't let the sun get the better of you! How to Choose a Stylish and Comfortable Sun Hat Pattern

Choosing a hat pattern: Sun hats

A sun hat is essential to protect you from the strong summer sun.
Of particular concern is protection against ultraviolet (UV) rays .

In fact, the effectiveness of sun protection can be greatly affected by factors such as the brim length, material, and color of the hat!

UV protection that changes depending on the brim length
According to one study, the sun protection rate is:

  • Cap Type

    Brim 7cm → Approximately 60% reduction

    Brim 10cm → Approximately 70% reduction

    Hat type

    Brim 7cm → Approximately 70% reduction

    Brim 10cm → Cuts by approximately 90%

In other words, a brim of 7cm or more is the best way to protect against UV rays !
10cm is quite reassuring ,
While bigger is better, balance is also important.

👒 For petite people, "prioritize balance"

If you are petite, a brim that is too large can make it look like you are wearing a hat.
In such cases, we recommend choosing a brim of around 8-9cm , which will give you a neater look.

Material points

  • In the summer, washable materials are great!

    Cotton and linen : Moisture-absorbent and gentle on the skin.

  • Polyester blend : Wrinkle-resistant and keeps its shape well.

  • For the lining of the part that comes into contact with the head , we recommend using a breathable natural material such as cotton .

🎨 Tips for choosing colors

  • Dark colors (black, navy, dark gray) :
    It has a high UV protection effect and is recommended for those who want to protect themselves from the sun.

  • Light colors (white, beige, etc.) :
    The appeal is that it makes your face look brighter.
    However, it is easy for UV rays to pass through, so it is recommended to use a UV-blocking adhesive interlining .
