Help finding a beach hat I can smush in a suitcase

Hey Girls-

Anyone have any recs for cute beach hats that won't completely die when I shove them in my suitcase?  I'm thinking less than $30 (but I'm flex if you show me the world's most amazing hat).

I'm going to Spain at the end of May and would love a cute little hat.  Open to floppy hats (is that a name?) fedoras, anything really...

Re: Help finding a beach hat I can smush in a suitcase

  • This is not what you're asking, but I plan to just wear my fedora on the plane so it doesn't smush. I'll just put it under my seat with my carry on for the actual flight.

    Other than that if you google "foldable sun hat" there are a lot of options that come up. I can't specifically rec any since I don't have them myself.

    I own this one in natural:

    It's cute, but I decided I just hate wearing hats.  I think mine is storage. If I had it here I would just give it to you, since I only wore it once.

    Aw that's sweet of you :)  I also feel like hats aren't really my thing, but I burn easily so at the beach I really want to be covered up. 

    kare- Maybe I'll just put it in my purse?  I feel like I look dumb in hats unless I'm actually on the beach.  I need to get over this, I know.

  • San Diego Hat Company has a line of ribbon hats that are totally crushable. I love them.

    Somewhat related, check out this sunscreen:

    http://www.amazon.com/Protection-Formula-Facial-Mineral-Fusion/dp/B002VH64KA

    I LOVE it.  It's tinted, but somehow matches a variety of skin tones (including mine which is paler than the actual tint). It evens out my skin, doesn't feel sticky at all, and doesn't irritate my skin - a lot of sunscreens burn my skin.  The only downside is that it really stays on, so you really need to wash your face well to get it all off.

    That's the one I have. You can shove it a small bag and it's totally fine when you take it out.
