The Princess of Wales’ floppy woven hat was the real winner at Wimbledon - where you can get one from £15

Including one which folds so you can pack it in your suitcase...

By

The Princess of Wales' Wimbledon looks are always elegant and stylish, leaning heavily on classic prints and colours from polka dots and spots to royal blue and purple. This year, however, Kate added a statement accessory she's never worn at any previous matches - a hat. And this wasn't just any hat, it was the perfect floppy woven summer hat - and we want one of our own.

While a sun hat is a stylish pick for the summer months, it's also a practical choice for keeping the rays off your face. A woven hat should be breathable, helping you stay cooler as well as protected during the heatwave. Taking inspiration from the Princess of Wales, we've rounded up some of our favourite sun hats from the high street. Whether you want something wonderfully floppy, oversized, with statement trimming or even one that's packable, these are our top picks from just £14.99...

We love the the clever scarf addition to this hat, which threads through to allow you to tie and secure it. What could have been a humble piece of cord becomes the focal point of the hat.
