My personal favorite of these hats, the Carmel model has a wide 4" brim and a black ribbon band. This beautiful hat can certainly be worn at the beach, but it is dressy enough to wear anywhere. This hat has a timeless style to it and it feels as good on your head as it looks here!! Broad sun coverage to 50+ UPF. This lovely hat will arrive in a simple white hat box for easy storage. I actually own this one, and it is wonderful!!!!
