Caps + sun hats

Caps & sun hats: stylish protection

A good sun hat is essential in summer. It protects sensitive skin on the head, neck and face. Hair alone is not enough – without a hat your child risks sunburn or heat stroke. Baseball caps, bucket hats or stylish brimmed hats offer varying degrees of protection. Most importantly, your child should feel comfortable in their cap and enjoy wearing it.

UV protection and materials

A good sun hat needs a wide brim, breathable, pollutant-free materials and an adjustable chin strap. The UV protection should be at least 50+ to shield delicate skin. The denser the fabric, the higher the protection. We recommend hats made from organic cotton or linen, which allow the skin to breathe. Baseball caps look cool but don’t cover the neck; bucket hats and brimmed caps provide full coverage. Remember to measure your child’s head for the right size. Complete the look with sunglasses to protect the eyes from glare.

Combinations & uses

Whether at the beach, on the playground or in the mountains, a sun hat is always handy. Pair it with a swimsuit or an UV swim shirt for optimum protection in the water. On land, lightweight caps go perfectly with T‑shirts and shorts. Choose colours that complement your child’s wardrobe. Swiss words like “Müetzli” or “Jäggli” add a charming local touch.

Care & storage

Sun hats and caps should be cleaned regularly. Cotton and linen hats can be washed by hand or on a gentle cycle. Avoid harsh detergents that could damage the UV finish. Let the hat air dry out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. When storing, use a hat box or stuff the hat with paper to help it keep its shape.

Trendy designs & gift ideas

From retro prints and tropical patterns to minimalist solid colours, there’s a huge selection of hats and caps. Straw beach hats are trending, while classic caps give sporty outfits a modern edge. Sun hats make great gifts, especially when combined with a summer set. Add a matching beanie from the beanies category so you’re prepared for cooler days. A pretty hat not only protects but also completes any outfit.
