I need the double layer around my ears or I get cold! And I like that they stay put when it's windy and layer easily under a hood.&nbsp;I have some slouchier knit styles that are more like a beret or tam and wear those more often in the spring and fall when it's chilly but not freezing.</p> <p>For summer, I'll wear pretty much anything except a true baseball cap (makes me feel too much like a camp counselor). I have full-brim hats in cotton canvas, faux-straw, and nylon, plus a linen baker/newsie cap and a really old canvas cadet cap -- the flat top looks much better on my head than a rounded baseball cap. Mesh-back trucker caps, which are very trendy with the outdoor rec crowd, also look completely ridiculous on me. I often look at them longingly because companies like Patagonia and Prana release lots with cool artist-designed prints.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear/page/2#post-2184824 Tue, 06 Apr 2021 08:36:47 +0000 Julie Boton 2184824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a fan of all kinds of hats and caps but I have to say that the safe bet is the <u></u><u>fedora<a rel="nofollow" href="https://gavrocheandco.com/">,</a></u><u></u>&nbsp;always very elegant and noticed.<br />Otherwise, <u>newsboy caps</u> and <u>flat caps</u> are still nice and famous.&nbsp;The choice is vast and in fact, every hat has its season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear/page/2#post-2184815 Tue, 06 Apr 2021 06:25:31 +0000 AJ 2184815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love hats but prefer those where the crown is not very tall so I guess that is why I prefer berets over beanies.&nbsp; I have several fedoras and straw hats, cloches and bucket hats.&nbsp; I wish I liked baseball hats since we attend a lot of games.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear/page/2#post-2184809 Tue, 06 Apr 2021 05:32:55 +0000 slim cat 2184809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Irina, I have a small head too - used to buy EXPRESS' sun hats when they've had two different sizes ( &nbsp;XS/S size - now it's "one size only" ).<br />I've got "shapka" from GAP a few years ago and same style from BR for husband and daughter.&nbsp;<br />Last time I saw the sun hat that fit me was at REI ( forgot the brand ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear/page/2#post-2184753 Tue, 06 Apr 2021 01:31:42 +0000 Sal 2184753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear the following:<br />- a variety of straw hats in summer<br />- caps all year<br />- wool beanies in winter<br />- I do have two winter brimmed hats that I like but rarely wear.&nbsp; I need to be more confident in them!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear/page/2#post-2184734 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 23:54:35 +0000 Jonesy 2184734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some gorgeous hats on this thread! Angie, you in a stetson is unexpected, but it looks amazing! Diana, your hats are spectacular! Did you make the knit one?&nbsp;</p> <p>I am a bore when it comes to hats, though I admire them on others so much! I wear knit caps in the winter for practical reasons, and occasionally a baseball cap in the summer for sun protection.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear/page/2#post-2184728 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 23:39:40 +0000 Diana 2184728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slouchy hand knit beanies in winter, big straw sun hats in summer. Finding sun hats that fit my big head is always a challenge but I persevere. (Back in the days when I still went to stores in person I had a habit of trying on the sun hats every time I saw them. You never know. I haaaaate that women’s hats almost never come in multiple sizes. Hat sizing is technically unisex but that only works if they make more than 1 size!)</p> <p>Also fancy fascinators/wedding hats for formal occasions (like the one in my profile pic) but they haven’t gotten much play lately.</p> <p>And whooooo these pictures are old; I miss having nice short hair! (Hopefully in a couple of months I’ll be able to go get it cut again....) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear/page/2#post-2184719 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 22:27:08 +0000 NancyW 2184719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that my hair is chin length, I am happier with how I look in a hat. However, I have a ‘bump’ behind my right ear and if my glasses or a hat rub it it can be painful. My LLBean and Sunday Afternoon sun hats are a size too big and work perfectly (I do not look in the mirror while wearing!!) My winter caps are all knit by me and have soft ribbing that doesn’t bind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear#post-2184715 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 22:21:37 +0000 Cardiff girl 2184715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a good hat and think it’s a shame that we don’t all routinely wear them anymore.l think that they add gravitas,l always get treated better when l am wearing a hat!(Prehaps not my novelty Xmas hats though).<br />l have to have a wide brim and a high crown though,cloche hats and the like do not suit me at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear#post-2184711 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 22:06:21 +0000 cat2 2184711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I avoid hats, wearing ear muffs and headbands in winter and visors in summer.

My head is a bit too small for most hats so, when I find one, I grab it. I need to find a fancy hat to wear to the plethora of teas in this place. Covid has prevented them for over a year and this spring will be no exception, but we can hope for next year or maybe some this fall. They are a popular and fun fundraiser for many groups. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear#post-2184559 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 13:33:28 +0000 cjh 2184559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like many others, hats are only for practical protection against snow, cold, rain or sun, not for fashion. I’ve had to give up on civilized hairdos since I gave in to wearing hats for weather conditions. I often wear double hats, and here I’m wearing a brimmed cap under a knit beanie, as it was snowing and very wet. The brim helps keep precipitation off my glasses. When running in very cold, I wear a fleece ear warmer under another knit hat. When walking in the winter, I would often wear a knit hat as well as a hood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear#post-2184546 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 13:05:17 +0000 Helena 2184546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can only wear hats for function, not for fashion ... I feel weird in them, although I admire them on others! I like straw fedora style hats for sun, toques for cold weather, and ball caps for bad hair days </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear#post-2184542 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 13:01:54 +0000 Karie 2184542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With my short hair I don't look good in hats, but I wear them all the time when hiking, kayaking, or out in the sun. I prefer hats that are fun, goofy, and/or colorful - maybe because it draws attention to the hat and not the head under it?! My favorite cold weather hats are knit or fleece and have double pom poms, paw prints, bright colors; and my favorite warm weather hats are colorful with wide brims for shielding out the sun. I generally don't wear straw hats because they make my head itch, and I prefer warm weather hats with a sewn-in sweatband.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear#post-2184520 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 11:45:36 +0000 Anonymous 2184520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a beanie and a fedora, but only wear them if it's really cold or snowing. For Faire I have a chainmaile headdress and a feather facinator :)<br /> I thought of getting a big sunhat while in FL, because the sun was so bright, but not sure how much I'd use it here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear#post-2184519 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 11:25:56 +0000 kkards 2184519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right now I’m favoring bucket hats, but i also wear and like baseball caps, and wore this beanie hat more most of my winter walks this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear#post-2184512 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 10:19:40 +0000 Jessikams 2184512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love hats but when my hair is really short, they don’t look so good. Still, I wear baseball hats or straw hats for sun protection while at the beach or hiking. But I have trouble with hats in the urban context because I feel I should remove them indoors, and then my hair is sticking out and flattened and looking ridiculous (maybe just another problem with short hair?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear#post-2184508 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 10:03:22 +0000 Liesbeth 2184508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a hat person. I feel self-conscious in most hats apart from baseball caps in summer and beanies in winter, which I see as functional necessities. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-hat-styles-do-you-wear#post-2184493 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 05:51:52 +0000 Synne 2184493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread needs more photos! I love hats, and they are great for me because I freeze/sunburn easily. I have a large head and relatively bold features, so I need my hats to be wide brimmed or chunky. Anything Sarah Jessica Parker would wear, basically. My current favorites are curdoroy sixpences and russian faux fur winter hats. Recent photo of my "train conductor"-hat, corduroy paperboy/sixpence. </p>
