Women's Hats

American Eagle Outfitters knows that every season is hat season. Whether you need to keep the sun off your face or the chill off your skin, hats for women are always as fashionable as they are practical. Form should always follow function, after all.

Every girl needs the perfect hat for the beach or the pool. Straw hats for women have wide brims in featherweight weaves that feel effortless and keep your face in the shade. Seasonal color shifts and silhouette tweaks keep you looking fresh and fun. Fedoras are a timeless women's hat, especially when the weather suddenly calls you to the park or a sunny cookout. Wider-brim fedoras pair beautifully with some new sunglasses for a day of sun and fun.

When you want to show off your inner Venetian gondolier, women's sun hats include boater hats just in time for summer. Ribbon trim and a medium brim turn up the fashion notes and never go out of style. Pin your hair back with a simple barrette or your favorite hair accessories for even more classic elegance.

Floppy hats and panama hats for women in soft felted wool are perfect for those transitional seasons when it's still warm enough to head outside but you need just a touch of warmth. A reliable panama is also a fabulous accessory for your boho sensibilities any time of year when you're going out for coffee or movie night with the girls. When the weather really turns chilly, comfy and cozy beanies keep your head warm and tune up your street-wear smarts. Accentuate your entire outfit with a few jewelry pieces to dress things up a little more.

There is no such thing as having too many hats, so make sure that you have plenty of options of this all-important accessory. We update our selection of women's hats throughout the seasons, so you and your head are always prepared and 100 percent in style.
