The best sun hats for ladies with big heads

Buying the right size sun hat can be a bit tricky if you have a big head when trying on a hat. That’s why we’ve compiled a short list of sun hats for ladies with large heads.

What size hat size is considered large for women?

The normal size for hats falls within a head circumference of 20.47 – 22.83 inches (52-58 cm).
If your head circumference is greater than 22.8 inches (57.91 cm), your head circumference is considered large.

In terms of hat sizes, large hats are between 22.8 – 23.6 (inches) and oversized are between 23.6 – 24.4 (inches).

Some hats are classified as “one size”. Which should normally imply that anyone could wear such a hat. However, this is usually not the case. One size hats tend not to grow taller than 58 cm (22.83 inches). For someone with a larger head circumference, it really isn’t one size, right?

Even if you manage to find an adjustable one size hat, you will quickly find that it doesn’t fit beyond the so-called one size range.

What to look for in a sun hat

When a hat is described as large, it does not always mean that the circumference is large. Often the term “large” is used in reference to the brim of the hat.

If you have a large head, you want a large circumference and not necessarily a brim size. So it is worth taking that into account.

When buying a sun hat, pay particular attention to the additional description / details from the retailer. Sometimes you will find information about the true size of the hat there.

If a size chart is available it can be used as a guide, but unfortunately not all retailers follow their own size chart.

It’s also worth checking out customer reviews if available.

How to measure your hat size

Before you buy a hat, it is important to measure your head first. This is very easy to do.

You will need a soft tape measure to take your measurement. If you don’t have a tape measure, you can do it with a piece of string.

The video above shows how best to take your size if you don’t know your hat size yet.

If your size falls between two hat sizes, it is best to always choose the larger size.

Basically all the hats on our list below have built-in adjusters to make them fit properly. If you are looking for a hat that is larger than your head size, a hat with an adjustable fit is a must.

Now that you know what you are looking for, it is time to get the perfect hat. We’ve done all the hard work for you and narrowed it down to 13 of the best hats we could find.
