RESTOCKING — NEW BATCH IN PRODUCTION
A hat does double duty for a baby girl's wardrobe — practical sun and warmth protection, and an easy way to finish an outfit. Popees baby girl hats are made in breathable cotton with soft, adjustable fits.
Sun protection matters more than warmth in most of India
For outdoor time, a wide-brimmed or bucket-style cotton hat shades the face and neck better than a close-fitting cap, which is more suited to cooler indoor settings or early morning outings.
Breathability over decoration
Bows, frills and embellishments look nice in photos but can add unnecessary weight or scratch a baby's forehead — check the inner lining is plain and soft regardless of the outer design.
Sizing by head circumference
Hats sized by age alone often don't fit well since head growth varies between babies — where available, check head circumference in cm against the size chart.
What type of hat is best for sun protection?
A wide-brimmed or bucket-style cotton hat that shades the face and neck offers better sun protection than a fitted cap.
Are decorative hats with bows safe for babies?
Generally yes if the trims are securely stitched and don't sit against the forehead, but always check for loose threads or small attachable parts with very young babies.
How do I measure my baby's head for a hat?
Wrap a soft tape measure around the widest part of the head, just above the eyebrows and ears, and match this to the hat's size chart in centimetres.
Can the same hat be used indoors and outdoors?
A lightweight cotton hat can work for both, though a specifically brimmed style is better suited to sun exposure outdoors.
We prioritise soft, plain inner linings on every hat style, whatever the outer decoration looks like.
