floppy hat

Soft, bendable headwear

A floppy hat is a hat with a wide, soft brim that droops or bends rather than holding a rigid shape.

The style offers sun protection and a casual, relaxed look: She wore a floppy hat to the beach.

Floppy hats are particularly associated with summer, gardening, and bohemian fashion.
