sun bonnet

Brimmed outdoor hat

A sun bonnet is a wide-brimmed bonnet with a projecting front and fabric extending down the back to shade the face and neck from the sun.

Associated with pioneer women and outdoor labor, it remains familiar from historical imagery: She wore a sun bonnet while working in the garden.
