It's not uncommon in the South to see a straw hat hanging on the coat rack next to the door at Grandma's house. She likely grabs her go-to and sets it atop her head anytime she heads out into the yard to shield her skin from the sun. Just like her favorite sunscreen, it's an important step of her skincare routine. She's probably also asked you where your hat is if you're heading out to get some sun.

In addition to sunscreen, sun hats can be a vital component to keeping your skin protected from the sun. Sun hats are both stylish and functional, allowing you to express your personal style while also shielding your face from the damaging rays of the sun. Each of the hats on this list features UPF 50+ protection, meaning they block 98% of UV rays. Whether you've finally come around to taking grandma's advice about wearing a sun hat, are ready to replace a well-loved piece, or want to add another topper to your collection, read on to find your new favorite hat to wear all summer long. We've scoured Amazon to find our picks for affordable sun hats that are worthy of adding to your cart (and your beach bag). Best of all, they're all under $30—a bargain price for protecting your skin.
