Marisenne designs UPF 50+ sun hats for women who want shade, coverage, and elegance in one piece.

What UPF 50+ Means

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF 50+ rating means the rated material is designed to block a high percentage of ultraviolet rays. It is a fabric rating, not a medical claim or a substitute for broader sun safety.

Why a Hat Helps

A sun hat can help shade areas that are often exposed, including the face, scalp, neck, and shoulders depending on the brim shape and how the hat is worn. Brim width, angle, and coverage all matter.

Designed for Real Sunny Days

Our hats are made for outdoor meals, beach walks, travel, gardening, market days, and everyday errands. They are designed to feel stylish enough to wear often, because sun protection works best when it becomes part of your routine.

Use With Other Sun Care

No hat blocks all UV exposure. For best protection, pair your hat with sunscreen, sunglasses, protective clothing, and shade when possible, especially during peak sun hours.

Care and Performance

Follow the care instructions for each style. Excessive moisture, crushing, stretching, or harsh cleaning can affect a hat’s shape and finish over time.
