We’re picking up last minute holiday essentials for sunny summer trips
On top of daily (or hourly, depending on the temperature) SPF applications, you’re going to want to shield your face from the sun in style. Whatever you have planned for the summer months, be it a city break or a beach week, you’ll be wanting to grab your new summer hat before you head out the door. There’s a lot great of options to take your pick from: The high street’s offering of souped-up crochet hats will double-up as chic festival wear, while & Other Stories’ Scandi floral print hats are definitely retro cool. Designer logo hats (like Prada’s must-have collection of colourful raffia bucket hats) are a must-have for luxury lovers, just mind not to squash them in the departures lounge. A soft, foldable hat is easiest to transport, most bucket hat styles will pop back into their original shape once you arrive at your destination. If you choose a more solid straw hat, a neat trick is to stuff the inside with underwear, socks or soft accessories and place it into your suitcase with other pieces slotted underneath and around it for the best use of space. That way it will arrive intact. Browse our edit of the best hats for your summer holiday …
