Kendall Jenner Is Already Wearing the £55 Item Everyone Will Buy for Summer
If there’s one accessory set to take over summer, it’s the classic Polo hat. Timeless, effortlessly cool, and chic, this simple cap is about to be everywhere. Whether you’re throwing it on to elevate a casual jeans-and-tank outfit or using it as a quick fix for a bad hair day, the Polo hat is the easiest way to add that polished, off-duty-model touch to your look. And if you need further proof that it’s about to be the must-have item, Kendall Jenner was just spotted wearing one—meaning it’s only a matter of time before everyone else follows suit.
Unlike trendier summer accessories that come and go, the Polo hat is an investment in classic style. It’s sporty yet sophisticated, making it the perfect addition to your warm-weather wardrobe. Think of it as the ultimate finishing touch—pair it with a crisp button-down and relaxed shorts for a quiet luxury moment, or throw it on with leggings and a tee for that effortless, low-key rich look. No matter how you style it, the effect is the same: instantly more put-together with minimal effort.
The best part? This summer’s coolest accessory is refreshingly affordable. While luxury brands like Jacquemus and Saint Laurent offer high-end versions, there are just as many budget-friendly options from brands such as Uniqlo, H&M, and even Amazon that deliver the same elevated aesthetic for under £50. Whether you go for a neutral shade for a minimalist vibe or a logo-emblazoned version for a little extra flair, the Polo hat is one of those wardrobe staples that look expensive without actually being expensive.
See how Jenner styles the hat below, and shop our favourite versions at the end.
Doubling down on how popular this hat will be this summer, expert shopper and fashion sourcer Gab Waller shared in her recent hot list of must-have pieces, “If you don't already have a Polo Ralph Lauren cap, you're going to need one. The easiest add to cart moment I have personally had of late. Kendall Jenner recently stepped out in this cap and cemented it as a key style to have. As it's produced in a multitude of different colourways, your options are endless.”
The perfect hat to pack on any warm-weather getaway.
We love this light-blue hue.
Proof you're going to want this cap in several colours.
