A Stylish Season Staple: Reviewing Silksy’s Summer Hats
Writer’s note: Even though these products were gifted to me, all the thoughts and opinions shared here are completely my own. My reviews are based on my personal experience with the products, providing an honest and unbiased perspective.
What I Tried
I was sent three hats from SILKSY: the Satin-Lined Grey Ponytail Cap, the Satin-Lined Navy Blue Baseball Cap, and the Satin-Lined Cream Bucket Hat. Each one has its own appeal, but they all share the same clever design: a breathable, stylish exterior with a silky satin lining to help reduce frizz, prevent breakage, and keep my hair looking fresh, even after a full day out in the sun.
First Impressions
The hats arrived beautifully packaged, each one tucked inside its own handy, travel-friendly dust bag—a lovely touch that instantly made the unboxing feel special. I was genuinely impressed by the quality straight away: the stitching was neat and durable, and the rayon satin lining felt luxuriously smooth to the touch. These didn’t just look good - they felt thoughtfully made, with clear attention to detail in both form and function.
My Experience & Results
The ponytail cap was a standout for days when I needed a quick updo without sacrificing style or comfort. It’s one of those rare finds that combines practicality with genuine style. At first glance, it looks like your classic sporty cap, but turn it around and you’ll find a cleverly designed hole at the back, allowing you to pull your ponytail (or bun!) through with ease. This makes it a dream for busy days, workouts, or just keeping your hair off your neck in warmer weather.
The bucket hat gave me the best coverage for sunny strolls, while the navy baseball cap quickly became my go-to for running errands or dog walks. I especially loved how lightweight and breathable the hats were, even in warmer weather. No itchy scalps, no sweaty roots - just effortless protection and style.
About the Brand
Founded in 2016, SILKSY was born from one woman’s deeply personal journey with melasma - a skin condition that made sun protection a non-negotiable part of her life. As a Registered Nurse, entrepreneur, wife, and mother, she understood the importance of protecting her skin but wasn’t willing to sacrifice the health of her hair in the process. Frustrated by the lack of high-quality, breathable, and stylish options on the market, she set out to create her own solution.
The result was SILKSY: a thoughtful, hair-friendly hat brand specialising in satin-lined designs that blend fashion with function. With a focus on rayon satin - a natural, plant-based material - SILKSY hats are crafted to protect both skin and strands, all while offering a soft, breathable, and eco-conscious alternative to synthetic linings.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’ve got curls that frizz at the first sign of humidity, coils that need gentle handling, or straight strands prone to breakage, these hats offer a layer of everyday protection that really makes a difference.
The soft, plant-based satin lining creates a friction-free barrier between your hair and the outer fabric, helping to maintain moisture, minimise tangles, and keep your hairstyle intact throughout the day. Add to that the modern, versatile designs and breathable feel, and you’ve got a collection that’s as kind to your hair as it is easy to wear. Ideal for busy lifestyles, sunny days, or simply upping your hat game - SILKSY ticks all the right boxes.
