Sun hats in modern and classic designs
Sun hats in modern and classic designs
Sun hats are an indispensable part of a child’s summer wardrobe. They protect against the sun’s harsh rays and help keep the head cool on hot days. Today, sun hats come in a wealth of designs – from timeless classics to modern versions with smart details and UV protection. This article guides you through the most important considerations when choosing the right sun hat for your child and provides an overview of different types and brands.
The article presents a selection of sun hats in different styles, materials and price ranges. The goal is to give a broad picture of the market so that you as a parent can compare features and qualities. The information about the products is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to provide a clear and informative overview.
Factors to consider when buying a sun hat
When choosing a sun hat for your child, it’s important to consider functionality, comfort and design. Here are some of the key factors to keep in mind.
1. UV protection
A sun hat with built-in UV protection (usually indicated as UPF 50+) provides extra safety against the sun’s harmful rays. This is especially important if your child spends a lot of time outdoors or near water, where reflections from water and sand increase exposure.
2. Fit and comfort
A good sun hat should sit comfortably without being tight. Adjustable cords or elastic make it easier to fit the hat so that it stays in place – even when your child is playing. Lightweight materials such as cotton or linen are ideal as they allow the head to breathe.
3. Brim width and neck shade
A wide brim protects the face and eyes, while models with a neck shade provide extra coverage from the sun from behind. For younger children, hats with a neck flap can be especially practical as they protect the delicate skin on the neck.
4. Material and maintenance
Sun hats are made from many materials – from classic cotton to quick-drying synthetic fabrics. Choose a material that suits your child’s activities. A hat that can be machine washed is a plus in a busy everyday life.
5. Design and colours
In addition to functionality, design also plays a role. Many children love colourful patterns or hats with favourite motifs. At the same time, neutral colours such as beige, navy or white are easy to match with the rest of the wardrobe.

Different types of sun hats
Sun hats come in many shapes and materials, each with its own advantages depending on the child’s age and needs.
1. Bucket hat
The classic bucket hat has a round shape and an even brim all the way around. It is light, comfortable and suitable for both boys and girls. The bucket hat is ideal for everyday use and provides effective protection from the sun from all angles.
2. Legionnaire hat
The legionnaire hat has an extended neck shade that protects the neck and ears from the sun. It is popular for small children and for use on the beach or in nursery, where children play outdoors for many hours.
3. Cap with neck shade
A cap with a fixed brim at the front and fabric at the back combines a sporty style with good protection. It is practical for active children who cycle, play ball or run around in the sun.
4. Straw hat
The straw hat gives a more classic and summery look. It is usually made from natural materials such as raffia or paper straw and is well suited for festive occasions or holidays. However, make sure it fits well so that the wind doesn’t blow it away.
5. Sun hat with strap
For the youngest children, a sun hat with a chin strap can be practical as it stays on even when the child moves a lot. Make sure the strap has a safety lock so that it releases if the hat gets caught.
Various sun hat brands
The market for children’s sun hats includes many brands, each with its own focus on design, functionality and sustainability.
Liewood
Liewood is known for its soft, organic cotton hats in muted colours and timeless patterns. The brand combines Nordic design with practical details such as adjustable cords and UV protection.

Frequently asked questions
How important is UV protection in a sun hat?
UV protection is an important factor, especially for children with fair skin. A hat with UPF 50+ blocks up to 98% of the sun’s rays and provides an extra layer of safety in addition to sunscreen.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your child’s head circumference and compare it with the manufacturer’s size guide. A hat should fit snugly but not tightly. Adjustable cords or elastic make it easier to get the perfect fit.
Can sun hats be machine washed?
Most sun hats made of cotton or polyester can be machine washed at a low temperature. Straw hats and hats with stiff brims should, however, be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth.
Which type of sun hat is best for the beach?
For use on the beach, a hat with a neck shade and quick-drying material is recommended. Legionnaire hats or technical sun hats with UPF protection are particularly suitable.
When should children wear a sun hat?
Children should wear a sun hat when they are outdoors in direct sunlight, especially between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Even on cloudy days, the sun’s rays can penetrate through the clouds.
