Made with lightweight yet durable recycled fibers, this fedora hat features a classic teardrop crown that's proportioned to the abbreviated brim, which turns up in the back. Its stylish flair doesn't end there, though. As soon as you slip it on, you can style the Squishee Hat in a number of ways, whether tilted to the side, straight on, or pulled down low.

EXTRA INFO
Some reviewers mention that this hat runs small, so keep that in mind when choosing from the three available sizes (small/medium, medium/large, and large/x-large).

NOTABLE DETAILS

EXTRA INFO
According to reviewers, this straw bucket hat runs large, so we suggest ordering a size down for the best fit. 

NOTABLE DETAILS
Surprise! J. Crew's Packable Straw Hat is back in a wide-brim version—this time at the #2 spot on our list. Shoppers love this style for its functionality and appearance, and because this one has a wider brim, it offers a tad more sun protection than the version as mentioned earlier.

PROMISING REVIEW
"Got this hat to replace another wide-brimmed floppy hat that was just a little too floppy. I could never see when I wore that other one. This one is great because there is a tiny bit of wire in the edge of the brim so I can adjust it to keep it from covering my eyes. But it still looks chic. I’ve gotten so many compliments when I wear this hat which is daily. It keeps the sun off of my face, which I love because I don’t always remember to wear sunscreen. It packs like a dream! I took it on a flight and folded it carefully with no problem. I keep it folded up in my bag and pull it out when I need it. It unfolds and can be shaped to wear so that you can’t see the fold lines. Brilliant! I should get another one in case I lose this one!"

NOTABLE DETAILS
The Squishee A List Packable Fedora features a traditional indented crown with a softly sloping, fringed brim. With a price tag just under $300, this is certainly an investment hat. However, it seems to be worth its cost based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews from shoppers. 

BEHIND THE BRAND
