The weather is starting to brighten up around here, with the last few days bringing bright sunshine. As summer quickly approaches, it’s time to start thinking about sun protection. Hats with a large brim can be a stylish way to keep sunshine out of your eyes – and in the case of the Scala Collezione Ribbon Crusher Sun Hat, there is UV protection built right in!
You may recall the Scala line of hats from last winter, when I reviewed their Pronto Wool Cloche Hat. Like the wool hat, this new line of sun hats are referred to as “Crushers” because of their ability to fold up neatly for packing into a bag or sending in the mail as a gift, and bounce back once unfolded. This new “Tres Jolie” sun hat is the perfect answer for those of you who loved the wool hat but need something lighter for the spring and summer.
I received a complimentary sun hat for review, and aside from its “Crushable” feature, I was impressed by how cute it is. Another big selling point for me is the fact that this hat has a UPF of 50+, meaning that it offers some protection from the sun’s UV rays. (This doesn’t mean that you get off the hook from wearing sunscreen and sunglasses, this just adds more protection for your skin!) I love that this hat could easily go from working in the garden to going out for lunch. Cute and functional!

I like that hat, it’s cute. I love hats, but think I look funny in them
love this hat! I was just telling my hubs that it is so hot and sunny here we need to get shade hats for everyone. This is so cute!
I need this kind of hat! I might look silly but I tend to burn so easily and this would be perfect for being out in the yard playing with my daughter (or gardening)
