See, during the summertime, menswear tends to get a little, how do we put this, dull. Fewer layers mean fewer ways to elevate our fits. The stylish man, however, knows that the devil has always been in the details. We deck ourselves out with the necessary accessories, of course, no matter the season. And nothing says that we actually give a shit than a good hat. It's high time we made wearing summer hats a thing again.

No summer outfit ideas are complete without that pièce de résistance, so to speak. And the ones on this list will not only shield your face from the hot, hot glow of it all, but they'll also add a bit of character to your entire ensemble. Look as cool as you feel with these piece designer hats and caps. We found all types of hats and caps and everything in between for your next afternoon walk.

1| Heron Preston Logo-Embroidered Adjustable Fit Cap

$132 (roughly P7,175) | FARFETCH

This Heron Preston hat six-panel cap has an understated stylish feel to it for some reason. We can pair this with just about any of our million summer outfit ideas. Feel free to dress it up or dress it down.

2| Charles Jeffrey Loverboy Logo Patch Bucket Hat

$172 (roughly P9,350) | FARFETCH

We are loving the color and all-graphic print on this Charles Jeffrey Loverboy cap. It sort of pays homage to streetwear and graffiti culture. This is definitely one of those types of men's summer hats we wouldn't mind rocking on the streets or at the beach.

3| Frescobol Carioca Rafael Ribbon-Detail Fedora

$204 (roughly P11,088) | FARFETCH

Frescobol Carioca always gives us pieces that come straight out of the Mediterranean daydream. And their summer hats for men are no different. Rock this like Reagan (yikes) on vacation in Cabo.

4| Casablanca Embroidered Logo Bucket Hat

P261 (roughly P14,185) | FARFETCH

Casablanca follows the trend of crochet knitting with this multi-colored bucket cap. As far as summer hats for men, this can feel a little hotter, we know. But come on, how can we resist a colorful hat in the summertime?

5| Palm Angels Paradise Palm-Patch Trucker Cap

$183 (roughly P9,944) | FARFETCH

Trucker caps are sort of making a comeback these days. It's one of those types of summer hats that have been lost to its trendier brothers and cousins. Nevertheless, they're still cool. These hats sort of give off a laid-back, I-know-my-shit vibe. Palm Angels' Paradise trucker seems like a good place to start if you want to start collecting these babies. Its Miami Vice colorway is a killer.

6| Dolce & Gabbana Logo Plaque Baseball Cap

$332 (roughly P18,040) | FARFETCH

Give me a teal green, satin weave, silver-tone Dolce & Gabbana logo baseball cap any day of the week. Twice on Sunday even.

7| Jacquemus Tie-Detail Bucket Hat

P115 (roughly P6,248) | FARFETCH

Featuring dropped narrow brim and oval crown, Jacquemus' cotton tie-detail bucket hat has an interesting silhouette to it. It's just clean.

8| Maison Kitsuné Fox Patch Detail Baseball Cap

$96 (roughly P5,215) | FARFETCH

Maison Kitsune subverts what we think of when we picture the "classic" baseball cap with this fox patch bad boy.

9| BARBOUR and WANDER Reflective Logo Print Bucket Hat

P89 (roughly P4,835) | FARFETCH

This BARBOUR and WANDER reflective bucket hat stands out because of its curved peak, ripstop texture, stitching, and cord band. The ear flaps are a nice edgy touch, as well. It's undeniably one of those types of men's summer hats that works whether we wear them on camping trips or on the streets of Paris.

10| Polo Ralph Lauren Color Block Baseball Hat

$83 (roughly P4,500) | FARFETCH

Just another piece hat that exemplifies the quality, timelessness, and excellence we get from Polo Ralph Lauren. No wonder Ludacris loved these hats.

11| Jacquemus Le Bob Artichaut Bucket Hat

$106 (roughly P5,758) | FARFETCH

We cannot wrap our heads around how this Jacquemus Le bob Artichaut hat reimagined the idea of the bucket hat. This purple one, in particular, lives rent-free in our minds. The drawstring fastening, dropped wide brim, silver-tone hardware, and frayed edges just work. It feels more contemporary somehow.

12| Balmain Logo Embroidered Baseball Cap

P329 (roughly P17,873) | FARFETCH

The Balmain baseball cap just has a quiet stylish personality to it. Two such outfit ideas we can picture this from in current pop culture are, first, whatever the hell Kendall Roy is wearing at East Village, and second, Beyonce in an all-black attire wearing this on her way to vote. Just normal rich people duties.

13| Borsalino Medium Brim Panama Hat

P364 (roughly P19,772) | FARFETCH

This Borsalino piece just has an old-world charm to it. It's giving us cool old man in the French Riviera vibes.

14| SuperDuper Hats interwoven-Design Straw Hat

$315 (roughly P17,110) | FARFETCH

SuperDuper Hats has outdone itself again with this one. The Italian craftsman found a new way to sell the straw hat. This hat would be great with a retired Pirates of the Caribbean getup. It has that dirty sophistication to it. We can't explain what that exactly is.

15| Y-3 Logo-Embroidered Drawstring Cap

P84 (roughly P4,564) | FARFETCH

Okay, this might not be one of the ideal summer hats for men because it's black, but Y-3's drawstring cap is still as cool as they come. It's just hard to imagine streetwear on the beach, we get it.

16| Moncler Logo Patch Bucket Hat

P360 (roughly P19,555) | FARFETCH

Everyone needs a yellow bucket hat in their rotation. Moncler's is just fresh as fuck.

17| Lacoste Embroidered Logo Detail Baseball Cap

$75 (roughly P4,073) | FARFETCH

This is just one of those classics that we can't leave off the list. Nothing really special... but really, maybe that's why Lacoste is special. That's a different kind of power.

18| Off-White Logo-Embroidered Baseball Cap

$232 (roughly P12,600) | FARFETCH

The curved peak and strap to the rear add some dynamism to this Off-White baseball cap. So subtle.

19| BODE Contrasting Border Bucket Hat

$287 (roughly P15,585) | FARFETCH

It may not matter as much but the contrasting borders give this BODE bucket hat a much grander design. The curved wide brim and panels just make its shape pop out a little bit more.

20| Marni x Carhartt Floral-Jacquard Bucket Hat

P155 (roughly P8,469) | FARFETCH

This is arguably our favorite Marni x Carhartt collab. The green and white, mixed with the floral print and patterned jacquard offer us a beautiful contrast. It's as tasteful as it is street. How about that?

21| Borsalino Federico Panama Quito Hat

P221 (roughly P11,997) | FARFETCH

Borsalino's Federico Panama Quito hat is a Latin-American tribute of sorts. Best paired with a Cuba Libre in one hand.

22| SuperDuper Hats Hobo Woven Hat

$279 (roughly P15,154) | FARFETCH

How can we ever doubt SuperDuper Hats? Even here, its traditional Italian craftsmanship just separates this "hobo woven hat" from the ones we randomly see on a beachfront. The navy blue finish, paper raffia, and narrow brim give this hat that extra luxurious oomph.
