I might have a look tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1687581 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 11:00:25 +0000 skylurker 1687581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, ok, definitely sounds you need to try in b&amp;m stores until you know your size and the best shape for you.</p> <p>Don't you have sales in Germany now ? It's started here.</p> <p>Also, I'm not into fast fashion for clothes, but it might be a good place to look to find an inexpensive and cute accessory like a Summer hat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1687551 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 09:02:48 +0000 Astrid 1687551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one didn't work out either, much too small again. Maybe I should look for a men's hat instead. Anyway, I think I'm not going to place another online order, I need to give the departement stores a try so that I can pick a good fit, even if that's more expensive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1686373 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 11:00:40 +0000 Astrid 1686373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks. And I really liked the idea of that Fedora for me too, I think it would have been a great hat with my style... Too bad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1686368 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 10:52:09 +0000 skylurker 1686368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blast, I really liked the look of the fedora.<br /> Let's hope you have more luck with cloches, then! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1686367 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 10:22:10 +0000 Astrid 1686367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sadly the Fedora didn't work, it just didn't fit. Seems like I need some height in my hats... I ordered another one made out of the same material again, because that was really lovely. I'm basically back to the bucket hat I was joking about in the beginning... This is a cloche. Not the most stylish option, but it would pack down really small, so that's good. And the price was right. Now it just needs to fit. Third time's the charm? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1684249 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 18:29:52 +0000 skylurker 1684249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope it works out, looks like the perfect holiday hat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1684186 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 16:53:14 +0000 Astrid 1684186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quick update - I tried the other hat I posted above in a department store and it was way too small. Strange, because it was the same size as the pink one! I now have another one on order from Amazon, also by Seeberger. It's a Fedora and it's supposed to be squishable so you can take it in a bag. I hope this one fits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1679289 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 11:11:33 +0000 Helen11 1679289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pink hat, in a similar size. It always felt a bit loud for me, So I gave it to my niece. I really like the hat in your second pic. I hope it works for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1679282 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 10:57:58 +0000 skylurker 1679282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly how I pictured it, looking adorable and energetic ;)<br /> Good luck on your hat search. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1679052 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 19:55:05 +0000 Astrid 1679052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaileen, not really. I mean we have thrift stores here, but not the nice ones you seem to have. Or they are the kind to stock trendy stuff and known brands and those are always really overpriced.</p> <p>Skylurker, LOL. Now I just had to go searching for the picture below, me in my Birkenstock sandals enjoying the mountain scenery on Mallorca. I'll see what I can find in the stores.</p> <p>Thanks Sochi602 - I think I'd prefer the fedora to the floppy hat!</p> <p>Thanks Jane, although I'm not keeping that one! Just wanted to show a picture because it was Diana's recommendation.</p> <p>Thanks Suz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1679051 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 19:54:14 +0000 Suz 1679051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's super cute on you but I see the issue. Good idea to compare it with one of the others. Good luck!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1679047 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 19:27:34 +0000 Jane 1679047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your hat Astrid! This is exactly the hat that I would choose. Great colour. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1679036 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 18:44:57 +0000 Anonymous 1679036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen people wear a floppy straw beach hat with a pixie cut and glasses and it looks super cute! A straw fedora would also work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1679026 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 18:05:10 +0000 skylurker 1679026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>aaah, yeah...I forgot Germans spend their holidays hiking mountains in Birkenstocks, not lying in the sun ;)</p> <p>A collapsible cowgirl hat would be the most versatile option, I think, they can go anywhere : beach, city, country. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1679020 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 17:52:22 +0000 JAileen 1679020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have thrift stores near you? The one I volunteer at had a couple of hats yesterday like you're wanting, for under $5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1679011 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 17:33:44 +0000 Astrid 1679011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think you're right - either it works or it doesn't. Maybe I'll try the department stores next after all, that way I can just try some things on to get a better feel before I order anything else online. Maybe I'll even find something there? I'll keep you all up-to-date. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1678999 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 17:12:03 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1678999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look adorable, but you have to really be one with the hat to pull it off. I wear ball caps at races and the beach and I think you could look cute with the right one, but one either is a ball cap person or isn't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1678991 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 16:55:28 +0000 Astrid 1678991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachylou, I'm glad to hear my instincts were right. I not necessarily need my whole face covered, with the kind of weather I'm expecting I usually keep in the shade as much as possible and also wear really high SPF sunscreen. It's more not getting sunburned on my scalp... </p> </p> <p>Thanks Skylurker! You're right that the pink looks different in the sun, but it will always be quite loud next to all of my clothes. I want to wear this walking around, not only on the beach or next to the pool. And I usually favour more toned down looks. I tried it with my sun glasses, but they aren't bigger than the specs I'm wearing in the picture because they're prescription glasses. Agree that packable is awesome, the other one is too! I definitely want packable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1678988 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 16:52:47 +0000 skylurker 1678988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmm, I like it Astrid actually, how does the crown fit ?</p> <p>you might want the wide brim for sun protection, and the colour won't seem so loud in the sun. And the hat may seem less of hat with sunglasses (don't know what your sunglasses look like, but sunnies tend to be bigger than eyeglasses).<br /> Also I've read it's packable : awesome.</p> <p>So I wait to see it styled with sunnies, flip flops and bikini for final decision...no, I'm not serious </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1678982 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 16:46:40 +0000 rachylou 1678982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coulour is very flattering... But it *is* really pink. Not quite you, I agree.</p> <p>My only thought is, if you're looking for sun protection, you need a fair amount of brim... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1678968 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 16:33:03 +0000 Astrid 1678968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay so the hat arrived and it's A LOT of hat. At least for me as someone not being used to hats. And the pink is very loud. It doesn't look bad on me, but I think I want something a bit more toned down for dipping my toes in. The quality is great though and I can imagine it would be comfortable in the heat. I think I'm going to try another one from the same make with a smaller brim, in taupe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1676576 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 18:34:02 +0000 Astrid 1676576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha Ledonna, is that a serious suggestion? That is so not me... </p> <p>Diana, that sounds great. I do hope it works out so that we'll be hat twins. The reviews suggested the size might work well for my head. It probably won't be here before next week, but I'll keep you all up-to-date. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair/page/2#post-1676465 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 15:12:46 +0000 Diana 1676465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, I hope we end up being hat twins! It's really a great hat. The lady who sold it to me told me it also fit a wider range of head sizes (I'd been complaining about how most hats in the us were too small for me) because the straw was more flexible than most. I think it also stays on better while doing things than my other hat, which is a striped wide brim hat like Tanya's (but with bigger stripes). </p> <p>And great price too! I think I paid around £25 for mine 2 years ago. </p> <p>Re: packing. I have packed it flat in a suitcase - the crown kind of collapses down with no trouble - or I slide it sideways into a tote bag. The brim is wired so it holds its shape and can be reshaped if it gets bent. </p> <p>Suz, I looked around a bit after I bought it and could not find anywhere in the US that carries seeberger. Let me know if you find a us/can source! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair#post-1676464 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 15:12:12 +0000 Ledonna N. 1676464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you could do a denim blinged out baseball cap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair#post-1676461 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 15:02:44 +0000 Astrid 1676461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Staysfit! I definitely want a hat and not a visor, I want my head covered. But good point about avoiding too flappy (wide) brims, that sounds like a recipe for desaster. I may have to try the trick with the scarf.</p> <p>Thanks Tanya! Love the hat, it looks great. But something like this would probably be too floppy and big for me. And not really packable.</p> <p>Thanks Shevia - love the look of this one! I hope you find a packable hat you like one of these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair#post-1676330 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 12:11:32 +0000 Jaime 1676330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A bit of a tangent but a good looking, wide brimmed packable hat is my HEWI! I have an Eric Javits hat similar to Staysfit's, but it is too floppy for me. I like a brim that is more stiff, like the hat below, which I wear every day. If I could stuff it in a bag it would be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair#post-1676325 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 12:00:54 +0000 Tanya 1676325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I very floppy straw hats with very wide brims since I am very pale and try to protect my face from the sun as much as possible.&nbsp; I have the hat attached below in both stripe and plain solid straw color.&nbsp; Not sure if these would work with short hair, but you can always try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair#post-1676277 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 09:28:42 +0000 Staysfit 1676277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the hat with short hair and glasses thing mastered. I have learned that For me the brim can be no more than 3 inches. 4 inches is pushing things and would be for practical sun blocking purposes at poolside, not for out and about. Any more than that and it gets too large. Visors are a great choice because they allow your hair to show. They make some nice straw visors, not all of them are sporty looking, and I have a nice collection. Some can look good with a dress. and everyday clothes. </p> <p>Watch the shape of the hat. I find I can wear fedora's, boaters, western looking hats, and even floppy brims as long as the brim doesn't drop too much in front. You may want to experiment with some styles to see what works for you, but when the brim droops in front it makes me look bald, if it is more uplifted, you can usually see some of my hair.</p> <p>Below is a hat that I purchased this year. The brim is on the larger end but it rolls upwards to shorten and ends up looking nice. I tie a scarf around the top which also makes the proportions look better on me, otherwise it looks very large for my frame. </p> <p>Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-hats-and-short-hair#post-1676252 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 06:58:33 +0000 Astrid 1676252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, that big hat looks awesome - but I can see why you rarely wear it. That's a lot of hat! My hair always got squished down too with wool beanies, it never quite looked the same. I'm curious how the hat will work out. But of course with the short hair it probably won't matter as much.</p> <p>Suz, I also looked at tons of hats.... It was definitely fun. Let me know if you want my help getting one of these, as I said, Amazon has them for little money. I'm not sure how small it will fold down until mine gets here, but if it fits into a big envelope then sending it as an international tracked letter is quite inexpensive and fast. </p>
