wide brim

Hat's broad circumference

A wide brim is the broad, projecting edge of a hat that extends outward from the crown.

Hats with wide brims provide shade and sun protection: She wore a wide-brimmed sun hat to the beach.

The style appears in everything from floppy summer hats to cowboy hats and formal Kentucky Derby attire.
