Summer is officially here, which means you’ll need to take a few extra precautions to stay cool and comfortable as a wig wearer should temperatures rise.
While choosing a shorter wig style is a great option as temperatures soar, going wig free is another way to keep things fresh during the warmer months. Protecting your skin – including the skin on your scalp – from the sun’s harmful rays is however important, and it all starts with your wardrobe as the British Skin Foundation details:
“Clothing should always be your first line of defence against damage from the sun. Cover as much of the skin as is possible, paying special attention to the shoulders which burn easily. Consider t-shirts and hats even when in the water, especially for children and those who burn easily. A ‘legionnaire’ style hat with a wide brim is best, as it will shade the head, face, ears and neck. Baseball caps do not shade the ears or neck, and so are not as effective.”
Finding protective coverage doesn’t mean compromising on style however, as the top headwear picks for summer 2024 below prove!
Milan
For understated elegance that transcends the trends to offer stylish coverage all year round, choose our Milan Hat.
Available in a wide range of shades – including black, chocolate, cream, lilac, mocha, mustard and olive – this bamboo-Lycra mix is gentle on skin and super stylish. The design uses ruching and a gorgeous buckle to provide a beautiful finish. It’s also crafted from 95% bamboo, which is the perfect choice for warmer weather thanks to its breathable and naturally moisture-wicking properties.
Mia
Add plenty of colour to the season with our Mia Bandana. With abstract, peacock, pink paisley, pink roses and turquoise designs to choose from, those looking to celebrate summer with a splash of colour can do just that.
Using a polyester and elastine mix, this bandana is smooth, silky and secure, allowing you to go about your day with complete confidence.
Paris
Our Paris Turban is a colourful, two-toned design that will add plenty of summer vibes to any ensemble. It’s crafted using 95% bamboo with a touch of Lycra to ensure a stretch and softness that makes it a joy to wear.
Bamboo is actually three times more absorbent than cotton, which makes it ideal for use during the warmest summer days. It’s also naturally antibacterial, antifungal, hypoallergenic and moisture-wicking meaning a headwear look that is fresh and unforgettable.
Sicily
For a fresh take on a traditional headwear design, try our Sicily Scarf for size. Unlike our previously mentioned headwear options, it incorporates two ties, which can be used to achieve the snugness that makes you feel the most comfortable. The style itself is easy to wear, and lined with 100% cotton for an ultra-comfortable feel that you can rock all day long.
Our Sicily Scarf can be purchased in three colours – dusky pink, olive and raspberry – while its one size fits most head shapes.
