Straw boaters will always have a The Belles of St Trinian’s place in our heart – prim but incredibly fun. They’re also perfect for the non-committal among us because they’re on the smaller side, don’t need to fit snugly on your head and – should you get bored of wearing yours – can be thrown into the air in a “just won two bob on the rowing!” manner. Also, this one is really pretty. £40, Free People

Toast’s wide-brim hat was handwoven from palm leaves in Mexico. And if that’s not enough to sell it to you, we imagine wearing it to keep the sun out of our eyes as the condensation from a tall cool French spritz drips delicately onto our cotton prairie dress. Obviously this all happening while we pass an evening on a sun-bleached terrace in Mykonos. We’re in heaven, are you? Now £40, was £69, TOAST

So you’re the kind of gal who’s already got three hats stacked on top of your wardrobe, are you? Well, let us ask you this: which one are you going to wear when you’re sat in a busy English park on a Saturday, surrounded by other straw hats, and you want to stand out? You buy one decorated with a smattering of sweetly embroidered daisies, of course. £24, Skinny Dip

Love them or stare at them in stubborn bewilderment, the bucket hat is well and truly back in business. And like every other 90s staple making a comeback, there is (gratefully) a chicer, more ‘fashion’ version to pop on your head. This two-tone number from Sensi Studio is simple and lovely – and can be made to feel even more contemporary when paired with a 2019 must-read on your lap. £100, Net-a-Porter

If your accessory-wearing game is more statement-making than mildly jaunty, this oversized number from Ivy Revel somehow finds the fine balance between screaming “yes, I’m wearing a hat!” and slowly consuming you head first. It’s sensibly large in all its commanding glory, and would look delightful with a simple cotton top and some wafty, summer-friendly trousers. £39.95, Ivy Revel
