Wide Brim Hats

BRONTÉ offers a range of wide-brim hats for women in various fabrics and straws.

Summer hats with wide brims

In the summer, you want to optimize the protection against the sun's heat and UV-light damage to your skin and eyes. Hence, the size of the brim should to be more significant.

Most Bronté summer wide-brim hats for women come with a size-adjustable system.
You will find a lost & found label inside the hat to personalize it with your name and telephone number.

Check the full range of rollable wide-brim hats for women with favourites like Tara, Melina, Anna, Cien and Joanna. If you prefer a hat with a firm shape, we advise Deborah, Grace or Jacqueline and the new style Scarlet.

Women appreciate wide-brim hats by Bronté for the flexibility of the superfine braided straw. A braided straw makes summer hats less delicate than Panama straw hats. Most braided straw hats are rollable and travel hats. The braided straw makes most more versatile and playful as well. Check the full range of rollable wide-brim hats for women with favourites like Tara, Melina, Anna, Cien, Elisa and Joanna.
If you prefer a hat with a firm shape, we advise Deborah, Grace or Jacqueline and the new style Scarlet.

Winter hats with wide brims
You will find wide-brimmed hats in luxurious hair or wool felt in the Bronté winter collection. You can wear the hair-felt and wool-felt hat on a rainy or snowy day. The fur's velvet touch and glow felt will be a joy for many years. Wool felt is usually more robust and firm in feel.
We advise you not to wear any light-coloured hair or wool felt in the rain, as the rain drops could be dirty and cause it impossible to remove stains. You will not have this problem with felt hats in dark colours.

Hat styles
You will notice that the hat's crown determines the character of the hat style: do you want a masculine fedora crown?
The Frederique and Clara hats are two examples of wide-brimmed fedora hats in wool felt. Both styles have a shorter brim in the front compared to the back.
Or do you prefer the feminine round hat dome with a floppy look of the Seventies?
The Sue hat style is a capeline or round domed hat with a wide brim.
A more dramatic hat style is the Audrey shape: Audrey Hepburn's unforgettable performance in Breakfast at Tiffany inspired this lampshade or bell shape hat: a relatively small rounded dome combined with a broad and rounded brim.

Wide-brim winter hats require a coat with a relatively short collar to avoid a collision between the winter hat and collar.
