I have just returned home from my vacation on the Outer Banks of North Carolina and I am having trouble reassimilating myself into life in the city. As a result, I have decided to write about beach fashion and my current obsession – “the big sun hat.” This delightfully sassy head cover combines both fashion and function. It has an old-world Hollywood glamour and it offers incredible protection from the sun. The largest of them truly function as a personal umbrella, casting shade upon not only your sensitive face and ears, but also the easily burned chest, neck and shoulders. In addition, if you do your homework, you can find one with a built-in SPF, thus uping the sun protection ante.
I got my “big sun hat” at www.shadyladyproducts.com. It is by San Diego Hat Co. and boasts an SPF of 50. I bought a “goes-with-everything” khaki color, but they come in a myriad of colors and patterns.
Here’s hoping that you also get some time in the sun this summer. Just be sure to use some sunscreen – check out www.benefitcosmetics.com for a great selection – and to seek refuge under your “big sun hat.”
