Yes, high five to Team Big Head!

I like a snug beanie best, but most beanies are slouchy these days. I learned a trick where you tuck the middle of the back of the hat under the back band, and it snugs things up!

I was never a hat person until about a year ago - now I can't get enough. I think when I had longer (chin length) hair the thickness and volume were just too much and hats wouldn't stay on. Now that I started wearing my hair very short they really work for me. They also help preserve my hair color. Fedora, cloche, cowboy, porkpie, and a floppy boho are in my rotation. I have baseball caps for dog walking but don't feel that those look as good on me as the others. Like others, my face shape benefits from some height. I also wear knit beenies and trapper hats in cold weather.

I have a very small round head so my best hats are a cloche and a turban-style hat (good ear coverage), and a medium-brimmed round-crown hat (little to no ear coverage). Minimal embellishment, tone-on-tone only, in all cases. Nothing floppy, the brim must hold its shape. Mine always come from a specialty shop because of the small size of my head (one-size-fits-all is huge on me).

For sun? One of those wide brimmed doctor recommended hats.

For fashion, none.

For warmth, the hood on my down parka.

I can wear all hats but I do not care for baseball caps. Even though I get many compliments when I am wearing one.

Yes, MaryK!

I also do well with hats of all different sorts. But my favorites are newsboy caps by far. Followed by the fedora.

Love hats. They must have wide brims to fit my big features and wide shoulders: if I take a hat with a mid-size brim and put it on my head, the brim magically shrinks to an inch wide. So, fedoras and floppy hats, mostly. I can get away with a beret sometimes, if it is big and floppy and I can tuck in all my back hair, otherwise no.

My hat style has been compromised by glasses and greying hair, which narrow the options/change what used to work; and by fewer opportunities to wear one, between singing in the church choir (I was always known for having a hat on in church, sadly no more) and by the darn sunroof in my car which makes the ceiling too low to drive comfortably wearing one.

I often shop the mens dept to get hats to fit my big head. DD on the other hand at age 28 found a perfect fit in the toddler dept!

Big head, high forehead, hard to fit at times. But I love cloche hats, newsboys, some tuques/ slouchy beanies, the kind of hat with ear flaps...pretty much anything except a baseball cap (looks awful) or fedora (love -- but can't find one that looks good on me...so far.)

My hair doesn't get along with hats, especially now that it's short In the fall/winter I wear slouchie beanies/berets, and in the summer I'll occasionally wear a straw cowboy hat. That's it though, unfortunately.

I wear floppy sun hats in the summer and cloches, berets and beanies in the winter.

What do you do with the resulting hat-hair?

I'm with MaryK except I'm wearing a sun hat in Mexico with DH & DD. Otherwise I throw on a baseball cap if I'm being really sloppy but nothing actually fashionable!

I love hats, but I usually only wear one if I HAVE to. So here is one of me running in the freezing cold in Oregon, and two others from when I attended the Kentucky Derby in May.

Oh how fun to come back to this thread! Look at you all in your fab hats!

The Garnet Hill cashmere beanie is my fave for soft, light, warm non-hair-crushing style. But I would love to wear the right baseball cap - I just don't have the face for it!

I look like deuce in baseball caps too, Alaskagirl. Great thread! Thank you!

I tried to join Team Big Heads, but they told me to go sit outside behind the Gargantuan Noggins truck. That's how big my head is.

Tried on a few hats last week, between a wax gone wrong and dinner with bf. It was a hat shop that makes most of their own wares, and I was surprised at which styles worked on me. Plenty of them were big enough, too!

Does anyone regularly wear structured/felt hats?

I do them all. I'm a hat person.

Team big head/high forehead here! I like the cloche/bucket shape, though I also do a less-structured wide brim in the summer. For cold weather when a brimmed wool hat won't do, I wear what I think Canadians call a tuques.

I like the hat the girl wear in this page: http://www.vogueplaza.com/cata.....&y=23
I have several hats almost the same type.
