4 Funky and Sustainable Summer Hat Brands to Know

The hat. Such an underrated accessory that offers protection from the elements for our supple little baddie heads. Adding a hat to your outfit can either take a lot of courage (good luck styling that fedora) or be so simple that it’s second nature to you (baseball cap is on before you head out the door). No matter your relationship with hats, sustainable baddies who do dare to venture into the world of head accessories will want to support ethical and sustainable brands while they’re at it. We’ve curated a list of sustainable hat brands that you should work into your OOTD routine.
