Beat the Heat in Style

As summer approaches, our outfits naturally become more streamlined. It’s the perfect time for a statement hat to take center stage—not just as a shield against the intense sun, but as a true reflection of personal style. We’ve handpicked five exceptional hats from top brands guaranteed to elevate your summer look.

DAIWA PIER39 Tech 6Panel Cap

First up is the Tech 6Panel Cap from DAIWA PIER39, a Japanese brand known for seamlessly connecting the great outdoors with urban life. This model perfectly embodies the brand’s concept, featuring GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ fabric prized for its excellent windproof and breathable properties. By blending a classic design with cutting-edge technology, DAIWA PIER39 delivers a piece that is both functional and sophisticatedly urban. It’s a modern masterpiece ready for any weather, from active adventures to daily wear.

Stussy × Our Legacy Work Shop Mid-Depth Cap

From the collaboration between street-style giant Stüssy and Our Legacy comes the Work Shop Mid-Depth Cap, defined by its rugged, workwear-inspired aesthetic. The mid-depth construction is designed to flatter any face shape, offering an easy-to-wear silhouette that suits everyone. It’s a highly coveted piece that sits at the intersection of street and high-fashion culture.

ENNOY Professional Cotton Cap “Black”

ENNOY is the brainchild of renowned Japanese stylist Koichiro Yamamoto and Ryo Miyoshi, director of the select shop Everyone. The subtle “The Ennoy Professional®” embroidery on the front of this cap exudes a quiet confidence. At first glance, it appears simple, but its meticulously calculated silhouette allows it to blend seamlessly into a wide range of styles. This piece is a true testament to its creators’ refined aesthetic.

Needles × NOMA t.d. Bucket Hat

This bucket hat is a fusion of the worlds of Needles, the cult-favorite brand led by Keizo Shimizu, and NOMA t.d. (now Normalism Textile), a label celebrated for its inventive textile designs. Released each season with a different, expressive textile, this model carries a unique, artistic vibe unlike any other. It’s the perfect accessory to instantly upgrade an entire outfit, especially when added to a simple summer look.

PALACE Engineered Garments Explorer Bucket

Finally, we have the Explorer Bucket, born from a collaboration between the London-based skate brand Palace and the iconic Engineered Garments. True to its name, the hat features explorer-inspired details like pockets and straps. Crafted from waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX fabric, it not only adds depth to any street-style look but also offers reliable performance in all weather conditions. It’s less of an accessory and more of a “wearable tool.”
