Exactly what I wanted to know. I put “ linen spandex “ into the search box on Nordstrom mobile application and it understood what I meant and came up with 169 options. Unfortunately most of the samples I glanced at include some sort of Viscose or Rayon or polyester in the blend. I’ve got old linen/rayon pants and they make my legs very hot and basically defeat the purpose of linen. But I’ll keep this simple two materials blend in mind when I look further. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2/page/2#post-1934011 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 16:11:26 +0000 Janet 1934011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey 3style, I’m just seeing your questions now — Timely since I wore that dress yesterday for a little 4th of July cookout at our house.</p> <p>The dress travels and wears so well! It washes really nicely and regains its shape with a simple hang-drying — I don’t put it in the dryer. No shrinking in my experience. The slight bit of stretch does a great job of helping it keep its shape, even after a period of time sitting (no baggy butt!). It’s linen-y texture doesn’t really show wrinkles at all, and it’s sort of a two-ply fabric that is plenty opaque without a slip. If they offered this same dress in a other print I liked, I would duplicate it. Hope that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2/page/2#post-1933721 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 14:13:13 +0000 3style 1933721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I’m curious about the Tommy Bahama inter coastal ikat dress. I’ve never tried anything that is 96% linen with 4% spandex. Does the spandex reduce wrinkles? Is the dress opaque enough for not needing a slip? </p> <p>I’m maxed out on buying dresses for this season, but am still considering purchasing a linen blazer and/or trousers, and unsure about whether I want pure or blended linen. So I’m looking for information on wrinkles, resilience, and opacity of this type of fabric blend. Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1933715 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 13:48:47 +0000 RobinF 1933715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your dress collection and I envy your ability to wear hats so well. I put one on and look ridiculous. Great beach look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1933706 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 13:05:42 +0000 Janet 1933706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey all! I’ve been a bit scarce on the forum lately (my off topic post explains a little of it), but thanks for the feedback on the hats!</p> <p>I ended up keeping 2 and 8 (1 and 3 are staying in my collection too). I only took a quick photo before heading to the pool one morning on vacation so you get the idea of how I dressed pretty much every day of vacation (evenings were my dresses to go out for dinner). </p> <p>The Finds here are pretty much what I took on our trip to Cabo (plus swimsuits and a pair of shorts and a couple of tees, and a running/workout ensemble). It all worked out perfectly and I felt good wearing all of it! </p> <p>Thanks for the feedback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1933698 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 12:09:03 +0000 Karie 1933698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 and #6 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1933663 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 08:03:08 +0000 columbine(erin) 1933663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lost track of which hat is which, but love #7 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1933649 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 05:56:29 +0000 Anonymous 1933649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why you like the JCrew hat as it reminds me of your workhorse in #3. You look fab in the wide brims like 2 and 7. As a newbie to sun hats with a child-sized head, I have big challenges and no recommendations.<br /> You are lucky to be able to wear hats so well. You might consider adding a canvas one or getting a raffia bag or two to make some hat/bag compliments. Espadrilles may also work for compliment building. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1933571 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 16:51:31 +0000 3style 1933571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to post that I finally got around to buying a copy of Janet’s sun hat from J Crew. Then I got home from the store and checked online. I got the packable straw hat. Janet had purchased the wide brimmed packable straw hat. There are a bunch of other straw hat options at J Crew online too. The brim on the regular one is medium width.</p> <p> I’m actually glad that I inadvertently got the wrong one, because the shorter brim has a more tradionally safari fedora masculine vibe which works better with all of my safari vests. And also because my other straw hat is very round and wide brimmed and I like that they are very different from one another. The old one reminds me of a Holly Hobbie bonnet, since it’s got the chin strap option. It’s actually just a regular round top hat, but it’s got a bit of a 19th century vibe on me. </p> <p>Anyway, the JCREW hat is very comfortable. And it looks like they are routinely in the straw hat business and provide 3 sizes for many of the styles, leading probably to a better fit for folks than the more common two sizes option. And 30% off now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1925170 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 00:17:58 +0000 Janet 1925170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thanks, everyone! So much to consider. </p> <p>Today I took a gander at my coverups and realized they are starting to show their age (the newest one of my three old reliables is seven years old!). So I took a little trip to the mall today (it’s been raining all weekend and it seemed everybody else in town decided to do the same thing!), and found a new one that is black. Because I now have a non-patterned black coverup, I’m feeling better about the black and white hat. (My old favorite coverup is a busy black and white print — I’m not getting rid of it, but will be putting it in lesser rotation.) I also really like the idea of a more compact packable hat as well, so it’s looking like 2 and 8 are coming with me. I haven’t been back to see if 7 is still available. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1925167 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 00:02:33 +0000 Sal 1925167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 7 and 8 a lot. I also like the two you already own. </p> <p>Matching with glasses and hairstyle (and jewelry ) is one of the keys. I like 2 but do prefer the simpler ones.</p> <p>Love your WIW </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1925165 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 23:46:29 +0000 Vix 1925165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Asking me to vote on sunhats is like trying to get objective advice on flavors from the person behind the ice cream stand.</p> <p>For beach / pool bigger is better for sun protection so go Texas-sized: 1, 6, 7. Note I'm not enabling, just stating for the record. ;)</p> <p>5 and 8 seem to have a similar vibe but I could make a case for dressier vs more casual if needed. Say the word.</p> <p>Then the ones you own are great too. Think that covers them all but I'm not swimming back to Temptation Island to double-check. Still recovering from your other hat thread!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1925121 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 22:06:40 +0000 Staysfit 1925121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like number 2 best and number 7 is my second favorite. I also like the first hat even thought it’s not your best color. It has just the right shape and brim size for your features. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1925107 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 21:35:00 +0000 Anonymous 1925107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie - 2 and 7 are great on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924970 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 13:39:07 +0000 JAileen 1924970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love the sandals, too! My favorite hats are 3 and 8, the smaller, less floppy brims. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924942 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 10:27:41 +0000 Mainelady 1924942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG! #2 is a-maz-ing! I vote keep it and enjoy it! I also think #8 is great! Seriously, all are options. You look good in hats. I just think #2 and 8 edge out the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924930 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 06:06:22 +0000 Bijou 1924930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourites are #2, 6 &amp; 7 - they all look very poolside glam to me and are wonderful for keeping the sun off you. You look stunning in picture #9! Looks like you are set to have a wonderful holiday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924924 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 03:13:51 +0000 Dianna 1924924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is number 2, by far.&nbsp; Next would be numbers 7 and 8.&nbsp; Janet, you look awesome, you are such a stylish woman, I have never seen you in an outfit that is not fab, even the most casual ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924916 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 02:46:57 +0000 Jaime 1924916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 and #8. When I try on hats I look for non-floppy versions - I prefer stiff horizontal as my mouth has a natural droop (I smile in pictures but am actual a lifelong RFF -resting frown face, my rebranding) and under a hat that is all you see. This is a real problem when I want a packable hat and if the JCrew truly retains its shape I want one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924866 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 23:06:59 +0000 jussie 1924866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet you are lucky- hats look great on you! I like all of these to be honest. &nbsp;I agree with Angie the black and white patterned one is pretty special too. &nbsp;Nice outfit at the end as well. I will have to try out the t-shirt knot for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924851 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 22:31:15 +0000 Janet 1924851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#7 is in a boutique in downtown Annapolis — I’m not even sure it will still be there if I go back, but I think I’ll try to swing by tomorrow. If it’s still there, I’ll tell you the name of the manufacturer, MOTM! </p> <p>Colette, I have quite a small head too — I’ve been more than a little surprised that this many hats out there fit me, but there really seem to be a LOT of great sun hats available now — people must be getting more serious about covering up in the sun around here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924847 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 22:13:52 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 1924847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #7!!&nbsp; Where did you get it at?&nbsp; I am also looking for a neutral pack-able sun hat.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924840 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 21:47:24 +0000 Suz 1924840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all on you! My favourites are 2, 7, and the new J. Crew. That one wouldn't go on my head...too small. :(&nbsp;</p> <p>Your WIW is gorgeous on you. Love the knotted tee and that skirt is so fab. New sandals are also really pretty.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924835 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 21:33:42 +0000 Cardiff girl 1924835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You suit a wider brimmed hat beautifully so I would suggest picking the one that best goes with the rest of your wardrobe colourwise.Your wiw outfit suits your figure and has a lovely summery vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924826 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 20:52:47 +0000 karen13 1924826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said, I also like 6 and think 8 is good too for a different fun vibe. You outfit is great - so polished yet casual. I bought a maxi late last summer and love its ease but struggle with tops, I don’t like tucking with my full bust and high waist, yet most shoes f my tops are too long to be JFE. The knotted t is going on to my must try list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924819 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 20:12:54 +0000 Colette 1924819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fav is #7 and #8. I do like the packability of the JCrew, very functional for a trip. I personally have a tough time with hats, I have a small head so my hat game has been really bad. I didn't want to spend a fortune but I found one at Nordstrom that comes in sizes and it fits. In person it reminds me of your JCrew. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924813 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 19:40:21 +0000 Janet 1924813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LTS, I am more of a one-pattern person too! But sometimes I make exceptions. </p> <p>I can justify a couple of new hats for summer, as it's been a long time since I added to the collection, and some old ones are probably ready to go. So the feedback is helpful!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924808 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 19:09:42 +0000 Like the Season 1924808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My faves are silver #7 and JCrew #8, giving you two versatile options, one nicer and one more casual (and packable). They both look great on you. </p> <p>I do think the patterned ones have a bit too much going on, but I'm more of a one-pattern-per-outfit kind of person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sun-hats-2#post-1924806 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 18:55:59 +0000 Janet 1924806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah! Angie's eagle eye spotted my new slides. I love my rose gold, and my mixed metallic sandals, but I was missing my old silver slides (which are now pretty much only wearable as house shoes), so I tried these and couldn't resist. They are SO comfortable. They are slightly roomy on my feet, so might be an even better fit on someone with a more firmly medium foot volume, but not so big as to fly off my feet when I walk, or to look overly big on my feet. They're by Gabor, I'm adding the Find now. :-)&nbsp; </p>
