Going on holiday next month and want my face out of the sun. Which would you go for? Don’t want anything too try hard or tacky

Both are try hard. Wear what you like but you did ask. Get a rollable straw hat, offers more protection. Scarf Giraffe sells them

TanquerayTickles · 18/05/2026 19:34

Wear whatever you want and whatever brand you want. I have a most fabulous summer hat and I give no fucks about what other people think of it.

We're not the boss of you 😅

Wear a bucket hat. I saw a gorgeous woman in a red one at the rugby in March. Fabulous and fashionable.

I work with people who misspell stuff. Wasn't having a go at you for your spelling.

My super flashy 19YO nephew who lives in the south of France loves a RL or NYY cap lol.

Caring what others think about what you choose to wear is always tacky

Ok. I think a lot of people care though tbh

I'm not stressed. Just thought you might have an issue with spelling. And there's nothing wrong with that either - also not sure why it's a joke. Because lots of people struggle with spelling. But you struggle with choosing with what hat to wear.

I haven’t been to any games…ever, it’s just for fashion really, i’m no fan 🤣

I have no feedback for you then. I support the teams that I wear merchandise for. I guess we can't all have integrity. Clearly.

If you support the Yankees then wear the cap - it's not try hard if you're a true fan - i.e. you've been to the stadium and you watch the games. I wear a Welsh rugby cap. I wouldn't buy a fashion one - would prefer plain - but if your RL one goes better as a colour match with the clothes you are packing then that's the obvious choice.

Yankees, especially if you're going to NYC.

Going to France 😂

A baseball cap that has an actual baseball team logo is never tacky. Especially if it's the Yankees. 😀

Leafyleaferson · 18/05/2026 15:40

Another vote for bluejays!

Bluejaysforthewin · 18/05/2026 15:22

Neither, go for the Jays. Much better team & logo!. Plus the added advantage people might think you're a Canadian.

EconomyClassRockstar · 18/05/2026 15:17

Just take both. They're caps!

NorthFacingGardener · 18/05/2026 15:12

I’ve discovered recently that the larger sized kids baseball caps fit me very nicely (M&S and next specifically) and there are generally many more colour options than the adults. Cheaper too.

I don’t love a branded cap personally.

Vote for a NYY cap

tarheelbaby · 18/05/2026 15:07

I'd choose a brand/logo that means something to you to raise awareness or go for a plain cap/hat. Possibly buy one there so that you have a souvenir?
Many people feel that obvious logos and brands are tacky.

mondaytosunday · 18/05/2026 15:07

It is if it’s a NYY cap (as a diehard Boston Red Sox supporter). Go for something more original if you want a design on it.
