Some people love to chase the sun, but since I burn easily, you’ll usually catch me slathering on sunscreen while hanging out under an umbrella. On those bright sunny days when I do venture out, I typically rock a baseball cap. But after spotting so many Hollywood stars flaunting adorable straw hats this summer, I might just have to make the switch to these stylish woven wonders.
Stars like Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner and even Martha Stewart have been spotted in chic sun hats on their social media feeds. And let’s not forget Kate Middleton, who sported a now-sold-out $125 LK Bennett version to Wimbledon earlier this month. Throw celebs like Natalie Portman, Meghan Markle and Kendall Jenner into the mix — all have been spotted in one this summer — and you’ve got yourself a bona fide bonanza of straw bonnets.

Of course, you don’t need an A-lister’s budget to add one of these beauties to your wardrobe. I separated the chaff from the wheat, so to speak, and found seven uber-chic straw hats in various shapes and sizes, all for under $30 and as low as just $9. Grab one (or more!) to wear for the rest of your end-of-summer adventures, and you — and your bank account — will have it made in the shade.
