If you ask us, a hat is more than just a beach accessory, it’s an absolute essential. Australia has the highest rates of melanoma in the world, so sun safety is paramount if we want a hope of reducing these numbers. As such, we’re on the hunt for the perfect sand-ready cap to stash in our beach bags.
The perfect cap should be washable, because its going to get both sandy and salty. It should stand up to getting a little bit wet, in case you want to wear it into the water. But most importantly, it has blend seamlessly into our summer wardrobe rotations. With that in mind, we’ve curated the perfect selection. From cheeky slogans to cult merch, these are our favourite dad caps and baseball caps for the coming summer season.
