It’s rare for a week to go by right now without some clickbait news article appearing on one of our many social feeds proclaiming that we’re in for a heatwave at some point this year. Last year was crazy, like living in a massive open-air oven. Not that we’d complain.
One thing that has increasingly become a necessity in these times of climate change is a considered piece of headwear. Whether you’re the distinguished older type with thinning follicle distribution (yeah, you’re bald), or you just want to ensure you keep the sun out of your eyes, we’ve decided to select six smart pieces of headwear (hats basically) for you to consider ahead of the inevitable jump in degrees.
